3D Warehouse Gone Insane


This is inspiring. It's the OK GO video for "This Too Shall Pass" featuring a continuous four-minute shot of a Rube Goldberg machine operating in sync with the song.

It reminds me a bit of what might happen if the all the contents of the Google 3D Warehouse were to go crazy and start moving around on its own! Enjoy.

House of Cards


Watch artist Bryan Berg make magic happen in the YouTube video below. It's a house of cards made entirely with freestanding, unattached playing cards. And it's not just any card house-- it's the Rhode Island State House!

Check out the Google Earth/SketchUp version of the Rhode Island State House above, which I have added to these 3D model collections: 1900s, American Capitols

3D Basecamp Looks Fun

I was unable to attend this year's 3D Basecamp at Google Boulder, but I can live it through this post by Aidan Chopra, SketchUp Evangelist, on the SketchUp blog.

From what I can tell/what I have heard, it was a blast. There were about 250 attendees (a handful were geo-modelers) who split their time between the Google Boulder Office and a second location called the Milk factory (?) or something like this.
