From: Scott P Subject: APPS: 3D Virtual Cities on the Web Date: Thu, 16 Oct 1997 10:45:48 -0700 Message-ID: <624nrd$9ti@whitbeck.ncl.ac.uk> Organization: University of Newcastle upon Tyne Hi Does any one know of any good links to exact ('real') 3D cities on the web, either in VRML or Superscape or any other method. I mean ones that actually look like the city they are not a 'generalised' view, ie. nice straight roads and cuboid buildings . This means preferably real 3D buildings on a real 3D terrain (all too many models are flat!). If so can you supply links to them as this will help as background to my research. I'll collate a list and return it to the group as an example of what is going on in this area of VR along with any comments and views from me and others. If you are currently building this kind of world (or have built one) what have been your main problems you've had to overcome. Also if anybody else has any comments about this type of VR world I'd be interested in them too. Everybody who gets quoted in my work will be fully referenced so you may get to see your name in print. If so I'll llet you know. Either respond to this group or even better to Scott.Parsley@ncl.ac.uk if you want you can see my basic attempts at; http://www.ncl.ac.uk/~n230208/vrnewc/index.html The demo requires either Netscape or IE with the Viscape plugin from Superscape ( http://www.superscape.com/ ) and a Windows platform. Cheers, Scott Apologies if you also got this on the comp.lang.vrml group Scott P
