Global Warming – London Flooding

By Movies 10-20, Virtual London

With a 3D model it is possible to visualise the impact of sea level change. South London is built on marsh land and is thus more prone to flooding. We have produced a movie that illustrates sea level rise in metres. It clearly picks up the moat around the Tower of London within a metre increase and then follows on to flood most of the Waterloo/South Bank area of London. The movie below does not take into account flood defenses, merely a direct sea level rise.

If we exaggerate the surface model of London in terms of height it shows clearly the reason why South London floods extensively compared to North of the Thames, as the image above illustrates.

3D Street Furniture – London Phone Boxes

By 3D Modelling, Virtual London

When visualising the city it is important to include common street furniture as such items are central to the urban experience. As such we have modelled a couple of London Phoneboxes to go into the wider model.

As soon as Google Earth allows texture mapping (or before if anyone wants them?) we will add these throughout London based on location.

Google Earth London Eye Model

By Google Earth 20-30

Originally modelled in 3DMax we have slightly revamped the London Eye for Google Earth. There are a few known issues but it illustrates how even complex landmarks can be imported.

You can download the kmz file to fly into the model in Google Earth here (1.4Mb)

Other models including St Pauls and a view of London in Google Earth can be viewed in previous posts.

As ever any comments are welcome..

3D London Tube – Streaming a Movie via Flash

By 3D London Tube Map, London Underground

The majority of our movies have been encoded in Divx which although useful for compression does mean that people need the correct codec installed. As a test we have put online a movie encoded into Flash so the majority of users will be able to view it. The filesize is also compact, down from 23Mb to 2.2Mb which should be streamed from our server.

The movie itself features a fly through of the iconic tube map of London.

Any comments would be welcome…

View the movie encoded in Flash. (2.2mb).
