    If you are interested in my research, its online (pdf) here: http://www.3dnworld.com/research.php/ (I'm the one at the top). It deals more with photorealism using current technology, but there is some discussion of camera location stuff.

    While the virtual Fayetteville is cool, it's kinda late to the party. This is exactly what my software is used for, and we even already support Google Earth, NASA WorldWind, VRML, VTP and more. The nice thing being, unlike SketchUp, we author to many formats, not just KML, so you can reuse the same scene in numerous environments and you're not locked in.

  10. Straight up by XenonOfArcticus · · Score: 1 · on Online Fire Tracking?

    This was a pet peeve of mine two years ago during Colorado's wildfire season. One of the fires was within about a mile of my house. No useful information whatsoever about it was broadcast by the media or the public officials.

    First tip: Get an analog radio scanner. You won't need one of the fancy new digital models, most of the fire response stuff happens on older frequencies that are set aside for interagency response. I spent about $200 on a Radio Shack model two years ago. Look for a frequency chart, or scanner enthusiast mailing list or newsgroup for your areas. Radio geeking can become a whole new field for you! ;)

    You want to find out what frequencies are in active use for what. Here's a chart for Aspen, Colorado:
    Chart

    Usually the FERN (Fire Emergency Radio Network) channels have some informative traffic. Sometimes a local Radio Shack (yes, occasionally they have a clue!) might have a local freq chart. A lot of coordination traffic and information is passed along by HAMs on the Amateur Radio Relay League, so lots of useful info can be found there about evacuation and other logistics.

    Also, check out the GeoMac web site:
    http://geomac2.cr.usgs.gov/

    Click on the middle button (wildfire mapping) and let the Java viewer load. It's not always the most current, but it is used for interagency coordination, so it's usually pretty close to up-to-date.

    I would love it if public agencies would do something like what I (and other users of my software) do:

    Deckers
    High Meadows
