This photorealistic virtual rendering of Purdue's Engineering Island area is presented in Google Earth. The area contains 9 buildings and the bell tower in the Engineering Island area. The geometric models of the buildings were created via Google Sketchup. The image textures are from aerial images for roofs and from ground images for the walls. Clicking the icon by a building will display a brief description and a picture. The background imagery is very high resolution aerial photograph.
