Posted December 14, 201014 yr comment_104929 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
December 15, 201014 yr comment_104941 Very good indeed... Nice to see Thorpe get some attention. Alton already has a few models.
December 15, 201014 yr comment_104950 I do quite a bit of modelling, and have in fact made most of the entrance area of Thorpe already. I'll give you a hand in your quest!
December 16, 201014 yr Author comment_105010 Very good indeed... Nice to see Thorpe get some attention. Alton already has a few models.Well I think TP deserves it =D I'm just working on Amity Hotel
December 16, 201014 yr Author comment_105011 I do quite a bit of modelling, and have in fact made most of the entrance area of Thorpe already. I'll give you a hand in your quest! Really? =D What software you using? I'd love the help hah
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105013 Well I think TP deserves it =D I'm just working on Amity Hotel Missing the shark, apart from that, cant fault it.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105014 ** THORPE PARK IS NOW ON GOOGLE MAPS / STREET VIEW **Click the link to open it up and start navigating around: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ie=UTF8&q=thorpe+park&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=thorpe+park&hnear=Richmond&cid=0,0,1492421134601421344&ll=51.403938,-0.512629&spn=0.002446,0.006968&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=51.40424,-0.512789&panoid=WDJNQMMobpPGkTrhcRXvMg&cbp=12,107.48,,0,-0.47OR go to Thorpe Park on Google maps, and drag the little orange man on to a blue designated path. Click and pan away!!Your about 10 Months late....
December 17, 201014 yr Author comment_105018 Missing the shark, apart from that, cant fault it.SHARK? lol well I didn't see any sharks from the pictures I've used to texture it.. Show me and I'll add it [= And thanks! And finished the model just this second:
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105020 Better late then never! [=But it's not a never, because everyone already knows about it. Thats my point.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105024 I think one says Google earth and one says street view. Not sure if they're supposed to be separate :S
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105026 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.
December 17, 201014 yr comment_105029 He already has a topic about his 3d models though? They've been merged... I think.
December 17, 201014 yr Author comment_105030 They've been merged... I think.That was my mistake sorry. Only just discovered TP on street view.. and thought it was up to date news lol. Another view of Burger King Building:
December 19, 201014 yr Author comment_105187 10 points to whoever guesses what this is I've modelled.. lol
December 19, 201014 yr comment_105188 Tidal Wave's gas container effect that no longer works lol. This a very good model by the way.
December 20, 201014 yr comment_105207 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!
December 21, 201014 yr Author comment_105303 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!Arr! always wondered about the flame & why thank you! lol =D TIDAL WAVE IN THE MAKING
December 22, 201014 yr comment_105323 Arr! always wondered about the flame & why thank you! lol =D TIDAL WAVE IN THE MAKINGI love that diagram Though, the lift part looks slightly curved.
December 22, 201014 yr Author comment_105332 I love that diagram Though, the lift part looks slightly curved.Yeh it is.. I'll have to fix that
December 22, 201014 yr comment_105333 These are pretty awesome. Hard work has obviously gone into making these models. Very impressive ! These should look great on Google Earth.
December 22, 201014 yr Author comment_105335 These are pretty awesome. Hard work has obviously gone into making these models. Very impressive ! 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.
