Hi. Not sure if you guys noticed yet, but over the past year Antwerp has received many 3D models in Google Earth. It went from approximately 3 buildings (KBC toren, Centraal Station, Stadhuis) to having more than 80 blocks/churches/individual buildings.

The buildings you will see there now are constantly being improved and replaced. Due to the slow review process for these models, some take months to appear, and thus some you see will be old and outdated.

To stay up to date, you can visit the collection of 3D Antwerp architecture here:

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=f4ac1a6063045cd7cedd98947ec71854

2 guys have done the most of it, one of them being yours truly. :)

The cathedral has recently been completed but will not appear in Google Earth for some time. Most skyscrapers have been completed, such as the theaterbuilding or the Antwerp tower, as well as Oudaan. These models will be improved and as I said, they can all be viewed in their most up to date form on the link I provided.

Here are some some previews. Make sure you have the newest version of Google Earth and that the terrain option is 'on'.

The boerentoren and the very impressive cathedral.

Enjoy! Some feedback would be greatly appreciated. Before complaining about some models, check if some new ones have been made yet. Here is an example of some improvement on the way: (The old model is on the right).

Indeed! If anyone believes they can top our models, please do! Or maybe even better, simply help out and add some blocks to the city. :) A city of 400,000 people is difficult to model with two people.

I am also busy with the creator of http://www.everyoneweb.be/wilmarsdonk/ to reconstruct some of the lost polderdorpen. This work can be found here:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=94a2df64ce64ee3bafd44db2839d9bfa

Work will progress rapidly as street-maps are found. We have a large enough collection of photos but more are always welcome.

Antwerp has 472.000 inhabitants :)

Fantastic work guys. I already noticed that Antwerp is receiving more and more buildings in google earth. Now we know who is behind it.

Any plans to model the MAS and the Westkaai Towers ? They are nearing completion and would be great addition to the fantastic line-up of older and newer buildings you have already created.

About a year ago, i developed some plans for left bank using google sketchup. See pictures below. Maybe i should restart this, so that we have more people working on Antwerp.

@ SittingDuck: as i understand from your replies you can read dutch and i assume it's also your mother tongue? there's no obligation to use dutch or so but it's also not forbidden ;) gelijk ge wilt :)

@ theonot: referentieontwerpen zoals hierboven en de andere met hoogbouw in de scheldebocht die je gepost hebt kunnen nooit kwaad voor linkeroever en zijn ideaal voor de aftrap van antwerpen hogerop. toch benieuwd naar de website..

keep up the good work!!!

I'm heavily impressed! Especially the Hendrik-consience square and the cathedral look amazing. Hope to see more of the old centre, it would be amazing to wander trough it in 3D.

Theonot's picture really shows how perfect Scheldt's left bank is for a highrise-cluster. It could be a second Pudong if we had enough money. Build it, now!

I was planning to do the Westkaai Towers ASAP. I just asked on the thread dedicated to them about their exact dimensions, as I have no reference size/positioning from the Google Earth images.

Not certain about the MAS, its a bit too complicated and I am a bit too lazy. Also I'm not the biggest fan of this brick.

If you want to help on Antwerp, you ought to either completely make existing buildings, or simply make them in gray and send them to me to finish off. If you are more interested in making plans, try to do the Londen Tower and Westkaai towers perfectly in gray.

@ SittingDuck: as i understand from your replies you can read dutch and i assume it's also your mother tongue? there's no obligation to use dutch or so but it's also not forbidden gelijk ge wilt

I can read it just fine, and it is my mother tongue, but it has been years since I have really spoken/ written it, so I will have to use English I'm afraid! (te veel DT fouten :) )

Hope to see more of the old centre, it would be amazing to wander trough it in 3D.

These buildings are for obvious reasons the most difficult to do. 2 large blocks I have yet to complete adjacent the cathedral have been postponed again and again because I simply don't have the time/patience for works that take 4/5 days. This is why KR= did the cathedral and it is fantastic. Probably the greatest model in Google Earth. Zij trots, Antwerpen! [sic]

Also, I have done alot of work on Ekeren, just to the north of Antwerp. Many of the large structures of Luchtbal are also completed but not yet appearing in Google Earth, the langblokken, the canada torens, de kerk, the GM factory, the Punt aan de Lijn, etc.

The UA campus' to the South of Antwerp are also modeled (excluding campus Drie Eiken - I hate those guys :) )

I'm very interested to do the old stadskern inbetween the Vleeshuis and Het Steen, but right now they are demolishing half of it! Also interested in all the projects happening in the eilandje. The kattendijk (westkaai?) torens will probably be my favorite to do after the Londen tower.

^^ Ik vermoed dat hij de werf aan de Jordaenskaai/Burchtgracht bedoelt. Daar ligt alles al een hele tijd plat.

Anybody have up-to-date plans of the Kattendijk tower's locations? I can only find abandoned plans.

Are these rough sketches of the tower locations, or based on an actual, precise plan? I suspect the two new towers currently under construction are not perfect squares.

These are the footprints of the bases of the towers and locations on the site

These are the footprints of the bases of the towers and locations on the site

Yes but how precise are they? Is this a rough estimate you have made based on looking at the towers, or have you found a government planning diagram somewhere?

I have a footprint of the towers at home in a folder
This image is the rough representation of that footprint

From now on I shall post updates whenever a new model is completed.

Today we have the old Brandweerkazerne in the docks:

Can you make a model with the proposal from Zahah Hadid for the new headquarter for the Harbor?

don't think so :) only assumed that you still might alter it since you hadn't posted it in this topic but only in the harbour building's instead. it's good like this if you ask me ;)

Er zit een klein foutje in:
De horizontale uitloper van de pijler moet boven het dak van de kazerne uitkomen.
http://www.waaskrant.be/images/stories/2009/nieuws/regio_1501_havengebouw_zicht-550.jpg

Eender hoe een mooi model van een mooi ontwerp :okay:

yeah, thanks, I've noticed before visiting the Havenhuis topic :)

You could make a few simulations for Antwerpen Hogerop if you like :)

Misschien kan je de Lange Wapper maken ? Wel iets complexer... maar dat zou wel van pas kunnen komen voor ons

To Ivan: Just say what and I'll see what I can do.

To Meurisse: I would need some very exact diagrams and statistics about height, width etc. The bridge is very complex and anyways it is still far far away. I may make a very simple/rough version so people can just get a better feel for it.

Edit - Fixed. But you know there is also a difference between some of the renders we have been shown. There are two main different ones that deal with the white pillar in the front. I am basing my model of the image where the bottom half doesn't stick out so much.

Maybe SittingDuck can help me with this Q.. The pictures on Google Earth (taken from Antwerp) date from June 2004.. They're starting to look very dated, when do we get new satellite pictures??

greetz

Er zit nog een foutje in die tekening van het Havenhuis. De Oost- en Westgevel van de Brandweerkazerne zijn verwisseld.

That's a very good eye you have there! This is something I thought I could get away with to the casual viewer, the lighting on the photos I had of the kazerne did not match the shadows on the ground in Google Earth, so I just switched them! : )

I'm afraid I don't know! If only they were updated, I would know exactly where I could place my models of the MAS, Londen Tower, and Westkaai torens.

Here is the new model of the day, made by my buddy KR= . You may have seen these high-rise flats when driving around the ring, the Residenties Rivierenhof, Borgerhout:

sittingduck; ok, no problem.. you're doing a wonderful job anyway!:banana:

I wonder if the paying version of google earth has up-to-date maps...

Here is the latest addition to Antwerp; actually it is not really an addition, more a replacement.

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/2371/ugccomparexx7.jpg (http://www.imagehosting.com/)

As you can see, the new version is a significant improvement on the 'pancake' I made almost a year ago :ohno: .

I remade this model because KR= hinted to me he is working on the Opera and Antwerp Tower, and so I wanted to spruce up all the surrounding buildings. : ) I think the Koningklijke Atheneum will be next, the front is all wrong and they just finished renovating in real life, so it will be very up to date!

Two updates for Antwerp this time:

First one is on the Grote Markt, I used some photography that Chris Dorreman took from up in the cathedral to help here:

Well done!
Do you plan on adding all buildings and statues in the city center? Sounds like an awful lot of work...

It took me almost 1 year to make 137 models. About 80 of these are in Antwerp, the rest in Ekeren or around the globe. I intend to stick more closely to Antwerp now. If I can complete another 140 models in 1 year an extremely large part of the city center will be done. Also, I am being helped :)

Aah mooi!
Volgende: kathedraal? :D

Already been done:

Achzo, ik zag het niet in Google Earth.. :/

Since the last time I have posted there has been much progress in Google Earth for Antwerp. First, a very large update has added many new buildings permanently into Google Earth. Secondly, Chris Dorreman and I have been busy at work. Here are some of my most recent models:

Now it's really starting to be usefull! thanks! Now only a few buildingblocks left ;)

Great! Keep up the good work!

Fascinerend allemaal :o

moet toch met een enorme gedrevenheid gemaakt zijn.. fantastisch om virtueel antwerpen het echte te zien bijbenen! :okay:

mssch dat SittingDuck dit weet...

hoe komt dat het model van de kathedraal van google earth verschwunden is?

mssch dat SittingDuck dit weet...

hoe komt dat het model van de kathedraal van google earth verschwunden is?

Not sure what 'verschwunden' means but the cathedral isn't in Google Earth yet because it hasn't been reviewed yet. It will probably appear sometime within 40 days.

^^ verschwunden means disappeared or lost

Ah so the opera next to the Antwerp Tower will also be visible within 40 days right?

Yes. ^^ We make new models and about every 2-3 months they get updated into Google Earth in one big group.

ik denk toch dat het zeemanshuis tegen de vlakte gaat ondanks protest van o.a. het toneelgezelschap.

de noordzijde van de grote markt is ook verbluffend, en ik zie dat het ontbrekend beeld op de geveltop van de zwarte arend ook meegenomen is :nuts: vraag me toch af wat daarmee gebeurd is, x aantal jaar geleden stond t er nog..

Normaal gezien doet men dit tijdens de lente en zomerdagen, enkel bij helder weer.

Ik heb ook al data gezocht wanneer het helikoptertje uitvliegt maar vind die nergens.


Naar het schijnt worden die foto's vanaf een helikopter genomen die enkele malen boven de locatie vliegt, en is hier zelfs geen sprake van een satelliet.

^^ stel u voor dat het echt zo geweest was...

Hah! You'd be surprised by how close the cathedral came to demolition..:|

I don't know what caused this bug, but I couldn't see it. Looked like one of the buildings by the ring.

^^ Indeed, I think it's that building near the new Palace of Justice.
I only have this funny bug on my PC, not on my laptop... I will clean him one of these days.
Anyway, there were plans to tear down the cathedral in the past... imagine...
It's a funny sight anyway.

Good thing that Jan Blom saved it from Napoleon. Bonaparte wanted to expand the docks as much as possible and the cathedral was in his way. Jan Blom, the official city architect, managed by postponing and delaying things.

Even ceremonies had been forbidden in the cathedral by the French. Untill 1802 it would remain that way. In 1802 the pope convinced Napoleon that, for the wellbeing of people, ceremonies should be allowed again.

Nowadays a small street that leads from the Groenplaats to the Handschoenmarkt is named after Jan Blom.

Loodswezen dus, gewoon een bouwsel in eclectische stijl naar de wensen van schepen Van Kuyck destijds: "Als't moar raaikelaik ist" :)

You are great! ;)

Fantastic job, guys. Keep up the good work.

Very impressive work. How do you guys proceed to make all these models? It looks like a whole lot of work.

Amazing

really fantastic!

We take photos and use Sketchup from Google : ).

But don't the perspectives from which you take the pictures give you difficulties? I imagine it's not always possible to a picture straight in center of a facade. And what about the areas behind the streets with all kinds of spots that are hard to make a picture of?

As a matter of fact it is almost NEVER possible to take straight-on photos. Its all about photoshop.

Makes sense meeting you here Nick...

Amazing job, keep 'em coming!

Nog enkele jaren geduld, maar ziet er zeer mooi uit...

Heeft er iemand toevallig informatie hoe het zit met de afwerking van de ring? Wat denken jullie dat er gaat gebeuren? Gaat de lange wapper terug op tafel gebracht worden met de nodige aanpassingen of gaat er toch voor een tunnel gekozen worden?

^^ Met al je vragen daarover kan je terecht in de thread over de Oosterweelverbinding (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=518058).

Bedankt, had deze thread nog niet gezien. Sorry voor verkeerde plaatsing bericht.

Hoe krijgen ze van elk gebouw in godsnaam de hoogte, exacte afmetingen en plaats (op de foto's) Bijna elk huis in Antwerpen staat erop? Is dat een geautomatiseerd proces?

Veel foto's nemen en goed bestuderen, ik vraag me soms af of de ontwerpers nog het daglicht zien?
Ze kennen waarschijnlijk heel Antwerpen op hun duimpje van achter hun computer.



En wat bij een renovatie of nieuwbouw, dan is dat werk voor niets geweest.

Wij hebben de grijze gebouwen niet gemaakt. Dat was idd een geautomatiseerde proces. We made all the textured/detailed buildings.

SittingDuck, mag ik weten hoe je dat automatiseren start?
Ik zou eens willen testen of het me ook lukt iets dergelijks te realiseren.

Dit hebben wij dus niet gedaan. Inzover dat ik weet, heeft een vlaamse organizatie die data verzameld om overstromingen te vermijden ze gegeven aan Google. Ze hadden 3D scans gemaakt van de regio, en ze hebben daar 3D modelen van gemaakt die in Google Earth geplaatst kunnen worden. (sorry for the dutch)

Je Nederlands is goed hoor, toch bedankt.

...en onze helden staan al voor de tweede maal in de gazet :) Good job!

Antwerpse ontwerpers zetten Scheldestad op de kaart in 3D

http://s1.gva.be/imgpath/assets_img_gva/2010/06/16/1204688/antwerpse-ontwerpers-zetten-scheldestad-op-de-kaart-in-3d_5_460x0.jpg

De jonge vormgevers Nick Oberg en Chris Dorreman hebben Antwerpen op de kaart gezet in 3D.

Al drie jaar lang offeren Oberg en Dorreman hun vrije tijd op om de Scheldestad in 3D op Google Earth te zetten. Het is een monnikenwerk om alle gebouwen driedimensionaal uit te tekenen. De kathedraal alleen al slorpte zes maanden tekenwerk op.
Hoge kwaliteit

Het virtueel Antwerpen van Oberg en Dorreman is van hoge kwaliteit. Google gebruikt hun modellen vaak als voorbeeld voor andere wereldsteden. De jonge Antwerpenaars werden eerder al door Google op kantoor in Colorado uitgenodigd voor hun puike werk.

Op donderdag 17 juni komen ze naar het stadhuis van Antwerpen waar ze een 3D-wandeling door Antwerpen zullen presenteren. Tevens zullen ze hun plannen voor de toekomst virtueel schetsen.

Antwerpenaren zetten stad in drie dimensies op het internet

18/06 Nick Oberg en Chris Dorreman hebben een 3D-kopie van Antwerpen gemaakt. Een monnikenwerk dat binnenkort op YouTube te zien is.
De twee jonge kerels, beiden vormgevers, gaven donderdag alvast een voorsmaakje van hun 3D-maquettes. Ze waren uitgenodigd door de schepen van Stadsontwikkeling, Ludo Van Campenhout (Open Vld).

“De stad wil de 3D-maquettes gebruiken bij de dienst stedenbouwkundige vergunningen. De ambtenaren kunnen de impact van nieuwe gebouwen beter inschatten, door de plannen op de maquettes te projecteren.”

Nick Oberg en Chris Dorreman hebben drie jaar gewerkt aan de maquettes en vielen zelfs op bij het internetbedrijf Google. “We zijn naar de Verenigde Staten geweest en de mensen van Google waren onder de indruk van ons werk. We hebben de mappen van Google-earth gebruikt als basis voor onze maquettes”, zegt Nick Oberg.

Ondertussen gebruikt Google de plannen en maquettes van de twee Antwerpenaren als voorbeeld om andere steden in de wereld een driedimensionale copie te geven.

Bekijk het filmpje met de simulatiebeelden:

9dCLMffr23w

Zeer mooi filmpje. Opmerkelijk hoe 'echt' het er bij momenten uitziet, met name op de Grote Markt. Interessant ook dat er getoond wordt hoeveel werk er kruipt in het maken van zo'n 3D-model. Echt schitterend werk!

Ik heb mijn model nu in 3D in Sketch up, hoe kan ik het nu in Google krijgen?

^^ zo zou ik het doen:

in google earth op de gewenste plek inzoomen
in sketchup : tools > google earth > get current view
uw model correct plaatsen op de luchtfoto
tools > google earth > place model

En dan zou het normaal gezien juist moeten staan in google earth

Bedankt, en kan ik het er nadien terug uithalen ook?

dat staat dan tijdelijk bij uw "mijn plaatsen", dan kan je het opslaan of niet

zowieso opslaan in sketchup hé
