![]() ![]() The third part of the clip shows easy building of ‘Airspaces’ another new feature, zooming in to San Francisco we see an interesting area, adding a polygon brings up a yellow translucent cube, clicking the blue spheres allows us to easily stretch and warp the polygon to the desired shape, we then tilt the view to show the shaded shape in 3D, zooming in a bit and dragging one corner of the shape shows it conforming to the terrain below. The second part shows off the new multimedia annotations in the SDK, first we see the globe with two annotations, one has information about Mount Saint Helens, clicking view slides brings up a Java viewer box showing an image of Mount Saint Helens before it’s last major eruption, we then zoom in and pan around to see what it looks like now, by looking at fhe slide we can easily see the difference. Then zooming out to see the whole globe, the world map, compass, scalebar and finally placenames are turned off, and we zoom away into space. To begin we zoom in to Washington, it starts off as satellite imagery, Blue Marble NG, then as we get closer i-cubed and finally high resolution aerial imagery from the USGS, we pan around a bit then click on the World map to automatically zoom to Europe, by using the world map again we take a tour of the globe, first to South Africa, then China, Australia and finally back to the U.S. The first part of the video uses the basic build of the SDK, it shows placenames, a compass, scalebar and a clickable world map. I’ll put a short description of how I made the video at the bottom of this post, but be aware I used so FRAPS, so there are some dropped frames which makes the app’s look less smooth than they actually are. To follow up on my post about the new nightly builds of World Wind Java I have put together a video clip, also I didn’t mention it in the last post but the builds are version 0.6 of the SDK.
