There are different models of The Citadel in Googles 3-warehouse: 1) by "kiju" : A model with about 30cm/px = 10px/sqm photoresolution but with imprecise structure and artificial vegetation. With 2100 faces and 5546 kB filesize (5000 kB only for unrealistic trees) it is far too big for GoogleEarth (Google recommends max 500 faces and 500 kB) 2) by me= "3dHH" : this model has the same level of detail as 1), but by more efficient use of components and sensible jgp- compression it has only 52kB, that is 106x smaller than the model by "kiju" You can download the kmz-file (3d-model for GoogleEarth) here (52kB). |
