      great model and animation. is it necessary some kind of special equipment to watch the 3D movie? my experience of it was dismal, as it was narrow on the screen. i enjoyed seeing the sketchup animation much more.

        Hi pmolsen,

        Thanks for the interesting explanation of your workflow. I have already suggested that it was a very time consuming and hard work.

        But the result is wonderful. I wouldn't have this patient,18 months working on such a project.

          I cropped the 3D scene because otherwise when viewed in side-by-side mode the video is only half the height and the detail is too small.

          There are many different techniques for viewing the stereoscopic images. YouTube caters for most of them. If you do not have special glasses then the easiest is to use the cross-eyed method. Takes a bit of practice. You must have your eyes perfectly horizontal otherwise the two images will not merge into one. Once they do the 3D image will be seen to float between the other two. (Basically the image for the left eye is on the right and vice versa.

          The parallel method is easier on the eyes (the image for the left eye is on the left) but it cannot be used if the matching parts of the two images are further apart than the eyes. You can change your screen resolution to achieve that but the result is a tiny image.

          I really only created the video as an exercise in the use of Sketchup. I agree that the normal video is more interesting. Of course once all PC's have support for circular polarisation or similar, like Avatar, then it will be much more worthwhile.

            Just a comment:
            Google earth non pro just smears the city over the mountain-- no terracing effect. It is at the upper end of that squiggly trail up the mountainside.

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the standard GE terrain? If so then yes, it shows nothing. Half the city is actually falling off the side of the mountain. The 3D model has been all but completed but not yet uploaded to the 3D warehouse. Only Wayna Picchu at this stage.

                  I viewed the models of Machu and Huayna. Google must have reduced the resolution of the 2d/3d display image. However, looked interesting. Would love it if they decide to plop it into the 3d bldgs layer.
                  On behalf of the rest of the world, thank you pmolsen, if I may be so bold.

                    Machu Picchu model has now been accepted to the 3D layer. Should appear shortly.

                          Wow, I thought I spent a lot of time on a model! What inspired you to undertake this huge task? I mean, why did you choose this site, is it special for you for some reason? Also, noticed there was only one tree, in a central location. Did this tree hold some sort of religious significance?

                          Just incredible work 👍 👍

                            👍 Magnificent model of ancient Inca city, and cheers for dedicated effort to create it! Having hiked there in '83, your model exposes much more than what we could see at that time. The mountainous terrain is so much a part of Macchu Picchu that it really adds to the SU complexity and challenge.
