Virtual 3D reproduction: 3D Virtual Flights
This project shows a virtual flight over the Basque Country. To create the 3d reproduction, a giant ortophotograph mosaic at 1/5000 scale was mounted and then adjusted for topographic relief at 1:20,000 scale.
A virtual reproduction of the city of Bilbao was also created to increase realism while the camera started to descend. Various facade photographs were used to texturise the 3D city facade elevations.
The Guggenheim Museum, "Palacio de Euskalduna" and the "San Mamés Stadium" were modelled using great detail to display them as spectacular monuments from the river. This detail was extremely important as these buildings are symbols of a revitalisation effort for the city of Bilbao, and for the Basque Country.
