In this tutorial you can find out about, how you get your Sketchup 3D models into the deegree3 WPVS backend.
Be aware, that this is a quick and dirty write down of a CityGMLConverter howto short before the deegreeday, to have a complete WPVS tutorial. This tutorial will be worked out with more detail later on...
The deegree3 DataManager tool will accept your models in VRML or CityGML format. In this tutorial, a method to get deegree3 compilant CityGML out of Sketchup .skp models, will be described.

You can find a lot of 3D Model on Googles 3DWarehouse. For this tutorial we will download three buildings of Barcelona.
I choosed the following 3:
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.
Hi all,
I want to share some media, which I got recently on two mailing lists I'm subscribed to, with you.
The first Video was posted by Puneet Kishor on Geowanking mailing list.
Bruce Sterling is pondering on AR. Really intelligent and very wise. Just some other view angles then just the technical ones on the topic. Very good!
Hi there!
I just installed Google Sketchup 7 with wine on Ubuntu 9.04 and it works! 
But I have to say, there are some minor "bugs" you have to take care of, to get it up an running nice.
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.
Hello,
I tried to setup a deegree-WPVS on a 64Bit Ubuntu Linux environment and encountered some Problems with that. The thing that wondered me, was, that I first made this procedure on my Laptop, running Ubuntu 9.04 (but in 32Bit environment), and everything went fine without a problem.
On my 64Bit Desktop it gave me the following error (in catalina.out):
A bold statement? Yes indeed, but I'm sure here. :)
I think Java WorldWind has a huge potential to bring the GeoWeb to a next generation.
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.
