Work in progress; updated the model with 10m, 1m and 1 foot resolution orthophotos. Now I'll overlay the 1781 Rochambeau map and modify the texture to reflect the 18th century terrain.
10m dem UTM projection, about 37 km square.
*looks for my house*
nope, after all looks you are centered on colonial williamsburg, and im about 10 minutes from there.
I can recognize a lot of features though of where i've been.
That IS a photograph - right? Because if it's a render, it is mighty impressive!
I like it. Can you tell us what is texture and what is terrain or objects?

Which direction is your house? Maybe it is on the map.
Domdib -- Rendered in TG2.
Hannes, it is a terrain model very carefully overlaid with satellite and orthophoto imagery. Actually this was just a quick test render -- I'm setting up the base for some old maps.
Thanks for sharing your project. This looks very interesting.
nevermind... re looked at your orientation and realized you were facing south not north, and followed the proper roads the closest i could to where i am :P
hah, looks good though.
Here's a view with Rochambeau's 1781 map overlaid -- this was drawn in September around the time of the victory at Yorktown.
Just curious, what are you doing this for? If i got to CW sometime in the future will I see a video or some pictures of yours hanging up around the welcome center and such?
Aaahh - it's the projection of the orthophoto/satellite imagery that got me :) I thought the surfacing was procedural as well ;D Still mighty impressive, and I'm sure it must have taken you ages. Look forward to seeing the final product.
pfou! very interresting project .
bests regards, Thierry
