Adding 3D buildings to Google Earth just got a lot easier. Before, you were required to use Google’s Sketch up 3D program to add your building to Google Earth. Now there is the simple to use browser-based Google Building Maker, coupled with the Google Earth browser plugin to add 3D buildings to any of the 50 cities worldwide where this project is currently active.
All the user has to do is simply align a 3D wireframe model of the desired building and a textured 3D model is saved to the Google Sketchup warehouse. Once your model is approved, your model will appear on Google Earth. This adds dynamic imagery of your building to neighborhood amenity location maps.
Overall, we feel this easy-to-use feature will greatly enhance your 3D experience in Google Earth. It would be nice to see this technology evolve into a virtual online retail experience for the end users. Time will tell.
