The new version of Google Earth now supports textured models, uploaded from the new version of Sketchup so you can now do a flyby of the photorealistic version of the above model – http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=30fd98dbb060c02acb2a55165094f9be
I really think these tools are amazing….
Thanks Lotts! No, its not supposed to hover but I guess Google Earth thinks Steamboat Quay is a few metres below water level 😉
Here’s my newer version where I matched ground levels and stretched a photo ‘skin’ over the surface to give it a ‘photo realistic’ rendering. Unfortunately Google Earth doesn’t yet support photo textures but at least you can do an interesting fly-by in SketchUp –

Now if only I could get dimensions for the curvature of the roof I could get rid of that ‘bubble’ up top 😉
Well I found the height (184ft) and guessed the rest. I don’t think it worked out too badly really. You can find my model and many others for Ireland now at the Google 3D warehouse –
