Personalise 3D model Descriptions

kingsi

OK guys I have another question which I hope someone can help with.

Is there a way to personalise the tagged information associated with a 3D model I have on the 3D layer in GE. For example if I go to Disney Land in GE and click any of the 3D buildings I get fancy html scripted information bubbles pop up as opposed to the basic one that I have. I tried inserting html information into the info section within 3D warehouse, but got nothing but shitty code showing.

Hope there is a way

Thanks

Not in the bubble you get from the automatically generated bubbles from the 3D Warehouse. Some bigger providers can add their special content but Joe Average via the Warehouse can only end up with those auto-generated bubbles.

You can, of course, upload your own kmz file with whatever rich html content you want but still need to provide those descriptions and if your model gets to the final, official 3D Layer, it will be displayed with the auto-generated bubble from the 3D Warehouse description. If a user cares to go and download your model from the Warehouse, he can get your fancy content but I doubt that many would care.

I have filed several feature requests regarding this feature already.

Hi Gaieus

Figured as much. That is a bit annoying. My cunning plan was to offer a nice personalisation service for any models I make for clients. Especially handy if their building sits in the middle of a busy city or town with lots of models already there. I don't suppose you know if there is a way to contact and ask Google directly about things like this. The more interactive GE gets the more attractive it becomes to the Facebook crowd.

Thanks

As I said above, I myself have filed several feature requests regarding this. I know no better way to contact them than what I used myself (and I do have several ways many of which cannot even be public) but nothing has happened so far.

I am so gonna be sending you a list of demands to forward on over the coming years lol

And indeed I do "forward" demands when I see they are widely requested and actually useful. But also, trust me, the Google Team monitors these forums quite regularly, too.
