Picked up from the ever brilliant Digital Urban blog, one particularly chilling, yet technically very accurate, rendition of a 3D urban model worth highlighting is that of Chernobyl, featured in Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, a first-person game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision.
The game is available for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 it features various real world locations, one of them being set in the aforementione tragic city where a very well-known nuclear accident took place in 1986...
The first movie showcases some real-world, recently-taken still images from Chernobyl with a fascinating story behind them, found at http://www.nextgenboards.com/vb/call-duty-4-discussion/8215-map-real-life.html.
The second movie is the full Chernobyl level itself in the game, the similarities are, somewhat disturbingly enough (the area is still a high-risk radiation spot, which is quarantined, even after 20-odd years) there for everybody to see. A great piece of in manual urban 3D modelling nonetheless and definitely a good incentive for myself to finally get convinced in investing in a copy of Call Of Duty!
