Google Earth Update

My Idea

For my google earth project I wanted to recreate my trek across the US starting in California, goin out as far as South Dakota and then coming back to California. I wanted the viewer to experience the places I went to from the angles I viewed them at as well as angles I felt would be interesting. I also wanted to experiment with lighting and time of day. For instance, when i viewed mt. Rushmore it was late at night and the faces were lit for night viewings so I wanted to convey a similar sense of lighting to the viewer.

My Research

This first link I found was for the google earth blog. This blog is dedicated to the work made in the program. This particular post showcases different 3d models that were construct by way of the program. None of these structures exist in physical space, despite how convincing the work is.
