For today's entry another digital 3D city... This time it's a 3D recreation of Dublin. What makes this attempt at modelling an urban area different to most others is the fact that it comes not from industry professionals but from University staff/students, namely of Trinity College Dublin. Apart from accurately modelling the capital of Ireland the purpose of this project is also to create an immersive virtual urban environment which is capable of running in real-time on domestic hardware with further consideration to modelling traffic conjestion, crowd motion and finally integrating the model with handheld devices for guiding purposes.
Additional information can be found here, including more details about the project, sample pics & videos, conference & journal publications that have stemmed from the work and even sample models (in .OBJ file format) that can be downloaded. The quality of work here is definitely representative of what academia can offer in the world of 3D urban modelling and is well worth a look.
