Hi folks,
With the goal to have every building in the world accurately displayed in 3D, we’ve explored different methods for modeling large areas of our planet in 3D, including technologies like SketchUp, Building Maker and lately 3D Imagery. We’ve decided that in order to pursue the most consistent user experience, we'll be focusing our resources on the technology that will scale to the entire world and will be discontinuing support of the user generated 3D program.
We’d like to thank all of you who helped form the landscape of Google Earth and helped cities around the globe grow out of the 2D realm, and into the imaginations of virtual 3D explorers everywhere.
Models can still be uploaded to the Trimble 3D Warehouse, where they can continue to be shared with the modeling community, but they will no longer be published to Google Earth starting October 1st, 2013. Existing models will remain visible in Google Earth, until a time when they're replaced by new models generated for that region. Google Takeout lets you download an archive containing all of your models.
On a personal note: I’ve had the good fortune of being involved in the 3D modeling effort for Google Earth from the beginning, and I've watched many of you create collections of amazingly detailed architectural wonders from every corner of the Earth. I'm very thankful to have been along for that ride and to have gotten to know many of you over the years.
With respect and appreciation,
- CraigD and the 3D Modeling Team
On May 15, a French magazine has predicted the end of Google Earth with the arrival of the new Google Maps
I ask just only one thing: a 3D Users (or 3D Old Models) layer. Nothing more than that.
So, no new buildings. Coming from a small town without 3d imagery, I have been the only person submitting 3d buildings. The day that I decided to make business out of geo modelling, Craig announced that the new auto generated mesh mush was to replace all the fantastic work people have done for free. Needless to say, I gave up on the business plan, but continued to model some local buildings, knowing that , at least, until auto mesh mush covers the whole world, we can still have buildings. Now Google says no, no more new buildings. (I hope this means that they are about to announce that they have now ‘perfected’ the slimy mesh models, and covered the whole world, with high resolution 3d modelling, but I doubt it will be in the next 10 years)
Matthias, you have the answer, ‘user-organized’. But it should not include Google. Perhaps someone else can provide the platform. It would be better than Google could ever do it, because they just provided restriction. We need a few layers, so you can include any geo located model, but it will need to be verified by other modellers to go up a layer. The criteria becoming more stringent on higher layers. One layer for only photo textured real buildings, a layer for any texture, the ability to ‘scroll’ through different models of the same building, and vote, a layer for fantasy buildings, a layer for really bad models, I could go on.
A user-controlled system would be free of rules that we never understood (separate buildings on the same property for example.) Perhaps we could have terrain that can be corrected, or add newer, fresher imagery.
In fact, Google have used the geo modellers as free reviewers anyway.
How about Wiki-world?

I've suspected this would happen for some time, but I think it's a mistake. A great many models created in SU are infinitely better than the auto-generated mesh. It would have been better to find a way to integrate both together, even if it meant ditching some of the less accurate models in the process. I am suspicious of the money aspect and whether this wasn't financially sustainable, but Google makes huge profits and leads many innovations. I think Google should continue to develop some of it's best features - even if that means selling it for a small price. Let's face it, GE is an incredible piece of software that has been provided for free for a long time.Also, I wonder if WebGL now being accepted as an ISO standard, and Microsoft making an apparent u-turn to recognize it, is leading to GE going onto a web-based format? We shall see...

October 1, is the deadline for updating 3D models in Google Earth.
It's the end of an era. The epoch of 3D modelers who contributed with millions of 3D models.
It is a transition to a better quality?
We think not. It is a change for the globalization of 3D on Google Earth but in the opposite direction to the artistic quality of the models developed by modelers.
This is the view of a 3D modeler.

Eu sinceramente esperava ISSO, when was vendido um SU, demorou UM Pouco, mas o Inevitável Aconteceu.O Interessante Opaco E DEPOIS de alguns Meses e Muito ocupado, SEM Fazer Novos modelos não Início fazer esse estatuto, começei a preparar o material de parágrafo Fazer alguns modelos e Localidade: Não Perder a Prática.Agora, com ESSA Notícia Horrível ...Eloi Raiol
That is why everyone jumped a year ago, trimble were always going to eradicate modellers, They are a business, no longer associated with Google and hate to say this but you and any remaining modellers should have seen this coming. They don't care about you and never will. An ex modeller.

What a stupid decision. I have no words for this. In a time of economical crisis you're going to stop all the 3D-buildings in GE what is in some cases peoples business?????

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con usted.
Más ... Trimble (Google) no duda en representar (home page Francés) todos los edificios emblemáticos 3DWarehouse ... obras de creadores de modelos amateurs como: Arrigo Silva, Damo, Sainkindi, 3dHH etc ..! http://www.sketchup.com/intl/ fr / Mado Le samedi 10 août 2013 01:35:14 UTC +2, Aubrey un écrit :Es por eso que todos se subieron hace un año, Trimble siempre se va a erradicar modelistas, son un negocio, ya no se asocian con Google y odio decir esto, pero usted y los modeladores restantes debería haber visto venir.

que gran pena,tanta gente diciendo,que no rompan el gran imperio de sketchup 3d capa 0,y cuando gritas al viento no hay eco ni nadie que te escuche,triste cancion de navidad en agosto,que pena de labor MUNDIAL, o mejor dicho universal,,,,esto se puede calificar como un esterminio masivo,trae recuerdos de la segunda guerra mundial,,,,la humanidad actual,sea del pàis que sea,no tiene cultura filosofica-ni cultural,esta desicion es muy parecida a la quema de la gran biblioteca de alejandria,un notable hito en la historia de todos los tiempos,en el cual se borro la historia antigua,dando paso a la nueva hera mundial,yo creo que la cultura,la religion,la naturaleza,la raza humana en general,no debe perder nunca su identidad ,tanto sea como pueblo,cultura fe ,,etc,,etc,,este acto de borrar un medio tan grande,como nosotros los modeladores hemos cultivado tantos años,no se puede cambiar tu tierra de cosecha,en favor de una maquina,estais dando una imagen muy particular que el ser humano,con su arte y su desteza,puede hacer las mas grandes maravillas de nuestro mundo,nadie puede ni tiene el derecho de suprimir el arte y la cultura de una region,pais o continente,yo abogo a la filosofia de google en la cual profesaba que estas contribuyendo a una labor de NACIONES UNIDAS,en la cual exponiamos nuestro trabajo,nuestros modelos,para la reorientacion en una catastrofe local o mundial,google no roto con nosotros,tambien con la organizacion de las naciones undads,trimble y su proyecto lidar,no puede expresar un edificio,o region al igual,que estar a pie de calle,fotografiar,y modelar,creo que vuestra desicion es adecuada al dinero,pero no al legado del arte,ni google,ni trimble ni nadie en este mundo podra suprimir de ninguna nacion el arte,modeladores como pedro domecq,arrigo sila sebastian s,tang huang,eugeni llopart,bernard,feri,radmilo,eloy,jose manuel,y muchos mas,que faltan,todos son unos enormes artistas,y me siento triste que el arte y sus artista mueran sin batallar,un gran abrazo a todos mis compañeros de batalla,y que trimble,google sepan,que aqui hay un legionario del modelage 3d para siempre,para cualquier nueva experiencia yo estare aqui,hasta la proxima
