Thrillseek3r Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hey everyone =D Just thought I'd let you know that I've started to make 3D models of Thorpe park for anyone in the world to see on Google Earth. Here are 2 models I've done so far: BURGER KING http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=ac2331b64fe63328d88a7002dfb37846&result=12]PIZZA HUT http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=24a29f604b413fc1d88a7002dfb37846They are currently waiting to go live on Google Earth, but when they do.. You can check them out in full 3D. It's going to take me a while to model the park in my own time, as each model takes about 4/6 hours depending on detail. Although some guy has modelled STEALTH which is live now.=DSTEALTH or visit map location on Google Earth. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=8eccf97caf4515c2ef70d2754009e26f&prevstart=0LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK FACTS+ Google Earth is FREE http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/earth/index.html+ The software I use to model is FREE http://sketchup.google.com/ - So start learning and help me! lol+ I do a lot of other models in my spare time - http://www.geomod3d.co.uk Drawin and Coaster XTREME 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I think one says Google earth and one says street view. Not sure if they're supposed to be separate :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I just noticed on the FIRST picture it had Cafe Nero... :)And I always wondered if Thorpe would notice that Amity being based around an America fishing port it would be 'Amity Motel' Not Hotel.

Ricky Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Tidal Wave's gas container effect that no longer works lol. This a very good model by the way.I would more say ' no longer physically operational' - As its not really broken, just has no gas tank to enduce the fire :)Nonetheless, these models are primarly the best I have ever seen! I would help but I am an abomination at google sketch-up! Coaster XTREME, Thrillseek3r and Drawin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster XTREME Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 These are pretty awesome. Hard work has obviously gone into making these models. Very impressive ! These should look great on Google Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These should look great on Google Earth. Thanks lol Tidal Wave model is taking me so long to do.. Quite a fiddly one to be honest. And I've always been one for detail. Next on the line is X:\ No Way Out.. which from early test models may seem tricky as I can't find sufficient textures for the building. Might have to make them up..And for the others.. Sketchup is easy to learn. You just got to stick at it and watch the tutorial videos and play around with it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
