England’s Suburbia: A Panoramic View

By Flash Panoramas, Suburbia

Suburbia is a surreal experience when your usually based in the city 24/7. The panorama below highlights the quiet estates which are typical of 80’s newbuild in the United Kingdom.

Click ‘Load’ in the above image and click and drag your mouse to look around 360 x 180 degrees, once loaded you can click ‘Open’ to view full screen.

The image was captured using a 30 foot pole, we should have more on the technique on the blog later next week….

For those interested you may like to take a look at our latest post Twin Peaks San Francisco Interactive Panorama and Embedded Video

Top Ten City Skylines: Hong Kong Number 1?

By cityscapes, skylines

‘Top Tens’ are always subjective but when it comes to the best skylines of the world, Hong Kong is normally listed as number one. We have to agree, the skyline is stunning and as a city is it one of all time favorite destinations, purely for the cityscape. The movie above counts down the top ten according to Fredgar125, we are not sure we agree about the placing of number 2 and 3 though – we would swap them over.

In our first ever poll – do you agree that Hong Kong is the best skyline in the world?

Note – sorry for the typo ‘shoudl’ annoyingly Polls cannot be changed once set running. The author has been suitably reprimanded..

INSILICO: Second Life Cyberpunk City

By cyberpunk, Second Life

INSILICO is a ‘cyberpunk’ city constructed prim by prim in Second Life. In general the cityscape of Second Life has yet to grab us with only smaller architectural projects such as those focused on by The Arch being of note. However, the movie below providing a 9 minute flythrough of the INSILICO build within Second Life, thankfully free of dancing avatars and such like, is certainly impressive:

Animated Architectural Timelapse

By 3dmax, Architectural Visualisation, Timelapse, Vray


Animated Architectural Timelapse from MILapse on Vimeo.

We really like this one – the movie combines HDR, timelapse sequences and 3DMax/VRay in one unique architectural animation. The use of timelapse imagery lends itself perfectly to architectural visualisation and the author MILapse of http://www.hdrtimelapse.com/ is one of the techniques leading lights.

Take a look at MIlapse on Vimeo for more examples.
