A call for an earth addon

Post #1by Cham » 15.04.2004, 19:20

It could be great to visit the earth (the "center" of our universe), with many familiar or important objects, famous sites, all represented by 3ds models. It could be nice, for example, to have an addon which adds to the right location and orientation

1- The Eiffel tower,
2- The egyptian pyramids,
3- Pisa tower,
4- Some famous buildings in New York, like the statue of liberty,
5- The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona,
6- the Machhu Pichhu in Peru,
7- Angkor Vat in Cambodgia,
8- some parts of the Kennedy center in Florida,
9- etc...

I know there's the Stonendge model by Jestr, which may be a starting point.

Very often in some geographical books, you can find an atlas representation of the world with some of those famous sites. It could be cool to have this in Celestia.

We should find, let say, the 10 most important "objects" in the world, find their 3ds representation on the net, and make them parts of an addon package.

Any suggestion ?
