Tourist landmarks, 3D warehouse opportunities with Sketchup

Tuesday 8 August 2006 by Edward.

Your tourist destination group should create a 3D warehouse of landmarks and make these available on-line. Historic statues, buildings, bridges, plaques and historic sites are popular tourist attractions to any destination.

Google Earth’s Sketchup is an economical, quick way to get your tourist destination 3D warehouse on-line. Sketchup has come a long way in the last several months. Developers can ‘paste’ photographic skins to the models they create, to make them appear more realistic. These models can be placed onto Google Earth to provide your online visitor with a virtual tour. Multimedia links connected to each Sketchup landmark on Google Earth can add to the tourist experience.
A sensational Sketchup and multimedia tourist site is located in Nanaimo, British Columbia.
I see a growing market here for sketchup authors and publishers, model artists, warehouse builders and managers, model vendors, model fabricators, sketchup landmark tourist operators and warehouse destination marketers.

Do you have a sketchup tourist model, warehouse, or story to share?
