Applause .................... but I think Emerson said leave a "trail" and not a "trial."

Yep..,
damm
I made a typo :S

Movie is excellent!
How big is model?
What size of texture for buildings did You use?

I'm glad you like it, thanks!
Model with DEM/DTM, orthophoto and trees is only 18,5 MB.
I was using a lot of components so the size of model is rly small, I hope.

Textures was usually compressed with relations:
1m - ~40px
1m2 - ~1600px
with a .jpg 95%
I was trying to avoid textures bigger then 800x600 px (except the orthophoto)

You can download buildings from 3D Warehouse gallery,
but don't forget to rate it

Hello,
I would like to share with you my work,
I hope you will like it.

This is the visualization of the final outuput of my diplomma written in:
Warsaw University of Technology
(Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)
&
Vienna University of Technology
(Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing)

Basic data was provided by the Surveying Department of the City of Vienna, Austria:
~ ALS (LiDAR) data: 21pts/m2
~ Buildings outlines
~ Orthophoto with 10 cm pixel.

I have collected also ~300 terrestial images on my own.

Model accuracy:
XY: 0,4 m
Z: 0,3 m
Elevation details bigger then 0,5m were included / City GML LoD 3
DTM: 2 m grid size, with projected orthophoto

Software used:

DTMaster (filtering & postprocessing LiDAR data)

SCOP++ (DEM/DTM & nDSM generatiing)

GML Undistoretr (undistorion of pictures)

GVE (visual supporting modelling)

Ruby Scripts (import point cloud to SketchUp)

Google SkecthUp 7 (modeling, texturing, animating)

If you have additional questions, I will be glad to answer them.

Hi all,

Instead of littering the competition thread (n°6 :Castles), I decided to post the animation as a gallery thread.
I am disqualified anyway, as this went way beyond the time limit .

Here it is:

Outstanding work!
Where I can find good tutorials how to import model form SketchUp to C4D and process this kind of animation?
Thanks for any help.

@Didier Bur
Great Work! Your scripts are very useful.

@TaffGoch
Thanks for helpfull info!

“Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”

Btw, I'm looking for *.rb to approximate edge from cloud points.
