The Competition has focussed on creating the 3D models of buildings that such a tour or animation would require. We have not lost sight of that early objective so you are welcome to have a go at sequencing the 3D models as they appear in the 3D Warehouse and some in Google Earth. Perhaps you could add a voice-over and\/or subtitles. You could even apply a theme or narrative\u00a0to link the scenes into a stoory about Letchworth.<\/p>\n<p>How you go about this is up to you, so long as the result is in a digital file format that we can display in our Finale. It might for instance be a video (AVI) or a Google Earth Tour. Don&#8217;t worry if it is incomplete because the buildings\/scenes to be visited are not available in 3D yet, so long you \u00a0illustrate your concept as far as you taken it by for Finale event.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Examples using earlier technologies<\/span>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>There&#8217;s a short walking tour by the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation\u00a0<a title=\"A short walking tour by the Heritage Foundation.\" href=\"http:\/\/www.letchworthgc.com\/galleries\/short_walking_tour_letchworth_garden_city\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s a version on Google Earth, with links to Street View\u00a0<a title=\"EThe Heritage Foundation's short walking tour on Google Earth.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/maps\/ms?ie=UTF8&amp;source=embed&amp;oe=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=102818554816101910360.0004886dbbe8ca08991ea\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>The\u00a0Letchworth Garden City Society (<a title=\"The Letchworth Garden City Society's home page.\" href=\"http:\/\/lgcs.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">LGCS<\/a>) has a <a title=\"LGCS Town Trail\" href=\"http:\/\/lgcs.org.uk\/towntrail.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Town Trail<\/a> consisting of linked web pages with text and historical photographs.<\/li>\n<li>Another picture guide is at <a title=\"Map at FirstGardenCity.co.uk\" href=\"http:\/\/www.firstgardencity.co.uk\/map.htm\" target=\"_blank\">FirstGardenCity.co.uk<\/a>.<em> (To use its map index, enable Java plug-ins to run in your browser.)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>The LGCS \u00a0has pledged a \u00a350 prize to this Competition, so a 3D tour might well win that award!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project started with the idea of visualising a walking tour or fly-through animation of Letchworth Garden City modelled in three dimensions.
