BMP Creates Models Depicting Geothermal Energy Production

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

We recently teamed up with the folks at Google.org and Geodynamics (an Australian geothermal energy company), to create a series of informational 3D models and animations that illustrate the process of driling and harvesting for geothermal energy.

You can view the animation and download the models from Google.org’s website. The Models are also available for download from Google’s 3D Warehouse.

For the full run-down on the project, check out this post on our Igloo Studios Inc. Blog.

New Collection Available: re:Source Case Studies

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
This new collection includes 3D models of Case Study Projects that were created for re:Source - an online community dedicated to providing reliable information about sustainable design and sustainable construction. The re:Source website features a series of videos that include case studies of Green projects. Blue Marble built 3D models, which re:Source then used to create motion graphics for the videos that illustrate key sustainable features of the projects. The 3D models are also available for download from the 3D Warehouse in SketchUp format.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know where to park if you wanted to shop at Macy’s? Well now you can plan those kind of details a little easier by visiting the 3D Shopping Centers in California that we’ve modeled for Westfield, Corp. The Shopping Centers are available for download in SketchUp format from the Google 3D Warehouse, or you can view the models in Google Earth.

Ever been frustrated trying to find the hotel you are looking for? If pictures speak a thousand words, then we’re hoping our 3D models of selected Marriott Hotels speak a million.

ESPN features 3D Model of Home Depot Center

Friday, July 27th, 2007
ESPN used the Blue Marble Project’s 3D model of the Home Depot Center during a recent broadcast of Major League Soccer. The graphics shown during David Beckham’s first home game for the Los Angeles Galaxy featured the Home Depot center on Google Earth.

NEW YORK — David Beckham’s brief appearance in his first game with the Los Angeles Galaxy was enough to draw a record ESPN audience for a game involving a Major League Soccer team. Saturday night’s exhibition match between the Galaxy and Chelsea on ESPN earned a 1.0 rating and was watched by about 1,468,000 people. MLS’ debut game between D.C. United and the San Jose Clash in 1996 also drew a 1.0 rating. It was watched by about 1,092,000 people.
