Subject: 3d GPS terrain maps Author: sphaera ( ---.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net ) Date: 03-17-10 10:11

I would like to create a 3d model of a real existing terrain so that I can move about the terrain model at eye level. At one time there were 3d terrain maps of everywhere, US Government maps I believe, that could be converted into 3d models. Certainly they were extracted from GPS data. But I have lost the source. If you know of sources of these GPS terrain maps (free is good) and also the necessary software to convert them into 3d models in a format that can be used in Electric Image on a Mac, I would appreciate hearing from you. sphaera 3d Illustration http://web.mac.com/sphaera/illustration/one.html Video director editor http://web.mac.com/sphaera/video/video.html
