With only a few weeks left until new 3d models in the Google 3D Warehouse are no longer loaded into Google Earth, we are seeing that 3d modeling is becoming more of a specialized industry for 3d artist that continue to build amazing 3d models.

While we can appreciate that Google is pushing more toward 3D Imagery instead of hand-built 3d models, it will be a long time before the automatically-generated imagery can approach the level of detail on FlatPyramid or any other 3d website that showcases hand built 3d models. We’ll certainly miss seeing the amazing work of several of our 3d artist members that have previosly added to Google Earth.
