mike.sufc   10 #4 Posted September 8, 2015 Try it! You may be surprised (Turn 3D buildings on).  Wowzers! That's had an upgrade. It's a bit rough round the edges, but looks like it will be amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Phanerothyme   12 #7 Posted September 8, 2015 Care to expand more ? Is something wrong with it ? We have had 3d for ages in Sheffield.  The last time I looked there wasn't a 3D model in place for every house and every tree within the city limits.  It's a fairly recent development.  It looks like they've used the photographic data to computationally extrapolate height, roof pitch, tree shape etc etc.  Makes a big difference to just a couple of dozen buildings, now there are literally thousands and thousands. And even more trees.  If you whack the height exaggeration up to 3, it looks very amusing.  ---------- Post added 08-09-2015 at 19:16 ----------  Wow!
