Last week I went to London to attend the WhereCampEU. It was amazing! I am still flashed, I kind of feel like floating (at least) a meter over ground. :-) Here is the great intro video of the conference, which Christopher presented at the WhereCampEU Kick off:

Converting 3DWarehouse models into CityGML

Submitted by christian on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 22:19

I figured out two different approaches, to get 3DWarehouse SKP/KML/COLLADA models into CityGML, which I want to share with you (this is all very trivial, but If you don't know it, it can cost quiet some time to find the right tools for doing this).

The first way is to use the CityGML PlugIn for Sketchup from www.citygml.de.

Autodesk LandXplorer CityGML Viewer 2009 on Ubuntu Linux

Submitted by christian on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 12:01

One of the few available CityGML Viewers out there is LandXplorer CityGML Viewer from Autodesk.
As you can find out on their homepage, it is a proprietary product and at the moment only available for MS Windows Platforms.
This is normally bad news fro Linux users like me. But luckily there is wine.

On my 64Bit Desktop it gave me the following error (in catalina.out):

A bold statement? Yes indeed, but I'm sure here. :)

Working with ESRI JavaScript API for Virtual Earth

Submitted by christian on Sun, 01/25/2009 - 19:08

In the moment I work on a WebMapping Project, wich uses the ArcGIS JavaScript API for Virtual Earth,
to bring ArcGIS Server mapservices into Virtual Earth Applications.
All in all the API is not that bad, and Virtual Earth is quite nice I think, but the API is really bad documented.

And that with a multi thousand € software!!!

Silverlight on Ubuntu Linux with Moonlight

Submitted by christian on Tue, 01/06/2009 - 16:56

I was very curious on the Linux Silverlight port called Moonlight, because VirtualEarth3D runs with Silverlight.
When you access a Silverlight enabled page via Firefox on a Linux machine you get forwarded here to download a firefox plugin.
