A couple of noteworthy 3D-related items:
• Beautiful 3D model of the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort: CyberCity 3D, who we mentioned yesterday for their 3D coverage in Chula Vista, has revealed a 3D model of the Sheraton Resort in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The quality of the building is quite remarkable. I like that they include trees in there, and I hope that someday soon Google will find a way to put 3D trees all over the earth. You can view the resort by using this KML file
.
• Weekly 3D release from the 3D Warehouse: It doesn't appear that there are any new cities this time, but they've added more models that users have built using SketchUp and Building Maker. Check and see if your creations are in there!
