OKC in 3D on Google Earth?

[ourulz2000]

Many cities on google earth are now in 3D including Ft. Worth, and Dallas. Here's a screen shot of NYC. All it takes is a someone with graphic skills to put the buildings together. Wouldn't it be neat to see OKC in 3D on Google earth?

It's not hard, just time consuming. Download Google Sketchup and get going.

Oh no, I just realized Tulsa has us beat. I think it would be nice to have OKC fixed up, since someone out of the area may happen to stumble over OKC on the program. Maybe we can give people a glance at our skyline.

I have to say that rendering of downtown Tulsa is really awful---hard to recognize any of the beautiful architecture that distinguishes their skyline. So maybe they don't have us beat---surely we can do better than that!

Well, I think this puts Tulsucks back ahead of OKC again. hah

Are these 3-D images user submitted to Google?? How does that part of the software work?

Another new 3d mapping service is maps.live.com from microsoft. here's Ft. Worth:



Check out this article on it: they do say "all major u.s. cities." so i'm guessing OKC is not to far off.
