First Atlanta Google/Sketchup model

Finally was messing around and got to finishing up the first model of my modelling Atlanta project. so far we have Colony Square (two white block towers) and the campinale building (by TVS Architects). This picture is a snapshot of the Sketchup model so far. Stay tuned, more to come. You can see a photo I took of these buildings at my Flickr site.



Also, If you haven't heard Google has released a Beta version of their 3D Warehouse. The attempt here is for poeple to model their houses, favorite restaurants, and/or their favorite local buildings (and yes there is now a free version of Sketchup). With this a collaborative effort can be done for the whole world to eventually be modeled and then have the location of the model to be exported to Google Earth. It will be interesting to see how this all works out and I am thinking that this would be a good place to find others to help me model Atlanta (Wondering...) ?
