Request-a-Model

To request an extracted Google Earth model (via GLXtractor method), simply post a reply below. In it, please let me know the following: Google longitude/latitude, height, and intent for the model. <-- Interested to see what cool stuff people come up with. I will then post a small 5x5 block of the site for you to download here.

There's got to be a better way around this. I'm often too busy to check up here. To expedite the process, I recommend sending me a Google Earth kml file of the site, at the correct zoom. And keep your requests tight (max 2km high). Or at least send me a screenshot I'll try to respond within a reasonable time limit. Thanks! 1-16-13

Sorry guys, my Vostro 1500 laptop is down. Seems only that type of laptop works with this process. So until I can fix it, this service will have concluded. Sorry to those that recently requested help... you were a bit too late!

City Collection

From time to time I wander through Google Earth, mesmerized by the intricacies of these 3d models (though they are shallow approximations). As a record I've started to gather a few parcels here and there of our cities, for myself and others who want to play around:



Berlin

Barcelona, Spain

Colosseum, Rome

Central Park, NYC  Link updated 131019

Paris

Prague

Shanghai Bund, China

Vatican See, Rome

Venice, Italy
