Google discontinues 3D modeling support for geolocated models.

Looks like my modeling for the city is over.  I'll still create buildings but it won't be the same without the support.

Iowa Capitol

I'm revealing the big news that I've been keeping quiet for a while.  I created Burlington's   capitol building using Google Sketchup.

I constructed he model using a combination of plaque images, old photographs, and book material to create an accurate model.

In addition to this, I also wrote a book about the history of the building, my thoughts behind it, and the model that was constructed.  It will be available to purchase paperback on Amazon within a few days.   You can purchase the paperback and ebook through these links.

Big project

Sorry for the late response to this old blog but I have some current news.  I'm currently finishing up some pieces of a big project that I'm working on.  The project isn't ready to be revealed yet but it will in due time.
