KML T.Rex Terrorizes Google Earth
Posted Wednesday, April 26th, 2006, at 9:39 am Eastern by Mark Wallace
Ogle Earth’s Stefan Geens has located a Japanese 3d-to-KML app called SOLA, and despite the fact that it lacks English instructions, managed to upload a 3D KML Tyrannosaurus Rex to an environment there. What’s nice about SOLA is that it’s “a converter program for both Windows and Mac that takes any old W3D (Shockwave), 3DS and DXF (AutoDesk) and OBJ (Wavefront) file and turns it into KML fit for Google Earth.” I’m not sure if these kinds of apps are simple enough yet for just anyone to use, but it seems they’re getting there. If you can handle them, please note that Geens is waiting on King Kong. Let us know when he reaches the top of the Empire State Building.
