Martello Tower: Inside & Out

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 11:30:40 Z

by lostinthetriangle "This is still a work in progress (out of memory error) then I can add some more detail. Until then, enjoy! "F" full screen "P" point cloud...give it time to load! use the "View Synth in Direct3D Viewer" for the best full screen point cloud experience! There is a Martello located at Ferry Reach in St George's Parish. It was completed in the 1820s. Martello towers (or simply Martellos) are small defensive forts built in several countries of the British Empire during the 19th century, from the time of the Napoleonic Wars onwards. They stand up to 40 feet (12m) high (with two floors) and typically had a garrison of one officer and 15-25 men. Their round structure and thick walls of solid masonry made them resistant to cannon fire, while their height made them an ideal platform for a single heavy artillery piece, mounted on the flat roof and able to traverse a 360° arc. A few Martello towers were surrounded by a moat for extra defence. They were used throughout the 19th century, but became obsolete with the introduction of powerful rifled artillery. Many have survived to the present day, often preserved as historic monuments."

This is a synth to spend time with very rewarding. a good model of how to get the best out of synthing. quite fun to go up the stairwell look outside then go back down Dubleelvis

Mika And Herself // 3D Magic Trick // Go Game

by EdLee "See the Point Cloud for the trick. :) This idea hit me a while ago. You can clone as much as you want, limited only by hardware... and the graciousness of the model :) The board shows my favorite pro game, played by Fujisawa Shuko (藤澤秀行, White) and Nie Wei Ping (聶衛平, Black) on Nov 20, 1988. It's a beautiful game because Nie sacrificed his 5 stones in the center for the huge lower right framework -- the level required for this superb judgement is amazing. Fujisawa: June 14,1925 - May 8,2009."

You should set this so that the point cloud shows first

Mount Baker Aerial

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 07:11:05 Z

by TonyErnst "I took this synth on a small plane. Myself, Nathan and David from the Photosynth team and a pilot friend of Photosynth: Peter, flew into the North Cascade range for some exploration. It was a perfect day, completely calm, with beautiful light and just the right amount of mist in the valleys below us. We finished off with a circuit of Mount Baker, resulting in this synth. David and Nathan were taking wider angle shots at the same time and we plan on combining them into one uber synth. Be sure to check out the point cloud on this synth. Taken August 24, 2009 Mount Baker Wilderness Area, Washington You can see more of my photography at: http://tonyernst.com"

Yes!! That is exactly what I had in mind for it. I am a high school student so i don't have much time to work on it but check out what I started. http://dnbain.com/ again a very rough draft but I am hoping to add onto it.

by David "This is an original part of the Berlin Wall, given by Daimler - Benz AG to Bill Gates in 1996. It is now part of the Microsoft Art Collection, and curenttly sits in the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, Washington. While I was photographing it Gerold Hübner, who grew up in Berlin, walked by and we struck up a conversation. See my blog post (link in the comments below) for his memories of the day"

That is crazy the someone put bolts on a climb that can easily be protected by traditional gear. One bolt is right next to a finger crack. Either way nice synth.

Scary bridge in the Himalayas

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:26:05 Z

by Kanchendzonga "The scariest bridge I have ever crossed while on a trek deep in the Indian Himalayas. It consisted of a couple of saplings and branches, lashed together with twine and balanced on rounded boulders. If you fell.....well I'll leave that up to your imagination!"
