I read a Tweet about a new 3D visualisation of OSM using a new rendering engine.
It includes some animation (eg water surfaces, and fountains)…
Overall the graphic is pretty good.. but the actual data is still poor.
It assumes a flat world with no terrain, and building heights are somewhat arbitrary.
Here’s a view of Edinburgh (Scotland).. looking along Princes Street with Edinburgh Castle on the right, and Calton Hill in the distance. In reality the Castle is way up high on a volcanic plug (hill)… and the gardens infront of it are in a valley.
Here’s another view…. this time looking at the Castle from above East Princes Street Gardens (near The Mound)
Here’s a quick comparison of the first image from F4 and Google Earth… as you can see GE includes the topography.
