Google Earth hack to display Mars’ two satellites, Phobos and Deimos. Same idea as my ‘Google Saturn’ file where I create a supersized model and encase the GE globe. I’ve also added some options to view the entire Martian system, including Mars.
The models are based on shape files created by Phil J Stooke, which I [...]

OK, this is a slightly surreal one: A bouncing Google Earth globe in Google Earth, animated using KML’s timestamp feature.
My idea behind it was to see what an animated model with a shadow would look like in Google Earth. Spheres have nice simple shadows, so I thought why not use a mini globe.
To create the [...]

Animated SketchUp model of the London Eye observation wheel for Google Earth.  Using GE’s time animation feature to make the wheel rotate.
At 135m high this was for several years the largest wheel in the world.  (The Star of Nanking ,China holds the current record at 150m.)  One of the more distinctive features of the London [...]

A Google Earth time animation visualizing the change in England’s population from 27 million in 1891 to 48 million in 1991. The file uses extruded polygons, with population density proportional to height.
Data is based on the UK national census results, taken ten year intervals. Figures for 1941 are estimates, because of World War II.
The source [...]

Google Earth construction timeline of a toy brick, model airplane.
Similar idea to the Ferris Wheel Construction Animation:

Modelled with Leocad
Exported to SketchUp
From there exported to collada (kmz) brick by brick
Put back together in Google Earth using KML’s timespan element

To view:

Move the time slider to the right to allow all GE to load in all parts of [...]
