Antwerp in 3D

When creating 3D buildings for Google Earth, there are several steps you should follow to ensure that your models are accurate and visually appealing. First, you will need to gather reference images of the buildings you want to recreate. This could involve taking your own photographs or finding images online. Once you have your reference images, you can begin creating your 3D models using a 3D modeling software SketchUp.

When creating your 3D models, it's important to pay attention to details like the building's proportions, texture, and lighting. You may also want to add additional details like people, vehicles, or trees to make your model more realistic. Once you have finished creating your model, you can export it as a KMZ file and upload it to Google Earth.

In addition to creating 3D buildings for Google Earth, you may also want to consider creating models of real-world locations like schools. Two schools in Belgium that you could create models of are GTI Mortsel and Het Hinkelpad. These schools are both known for their innovative educational programs and modern facilities.

When I creating 3D models of schools, you will need to gather reference images of the school's exterior and interior. You may also want to gather information about the school's layout and the types of classrooms and facilities it offers. Once you have your reference material, you can begin creating your 3D models using a 3D modeling software. When creating your school models, it's important to pay attention to details like the building's layout, furniture, and decorations. Once you have finished creating your model, you can export it to Google servers and it ready for Google Earth.

Creating 3D models for Google Earth and other virtual platforms can be a fun and rewarding experience. Whether you're creating models of famous landmarks or everyday buildings like schools, you have the opportunity to bring your creative vision to life and share it with people all over the world.
