| Desktop Soarin'
(continued)
Here's where the fun starts. It's now possible to
add 3D rendered buildings to the image. If you click on the 3D Warehouse link
that you downloaded before to your desktop, you will notice that small 'blue house'
icons will appear on the image. Click on any of them, and a
window like this one will open:
Pick the 3D
rendered building you want to add to the image and click 'download to Google Earth 4.'
I downloaded the 3D castle
and the Monsanto House of the Future, and this is what I got:
Nifty, eh? Now, move your image
even more horizontally, and zoom on the House of the Future, with the Tomorrowland
entrance behind you. (Turn the circle on the top left to get the
right orientation and angle.)
Now zoom in again to get even closer... and again...
...until
you actually go in! It's missing the furniture, but we can probably rest
assured that "not a single natural fiber has been used to make this house."
Look around inside and you'll even see the 3D castle through the
windows! Amazing, isn't it?
Throughout the park there are more of the little blue house icons, that when
clicked on add more 3D buildings,
such as the Haunted Mansion.
