In-Depth Information
Modeling from historic photographs can be challenging. Take time to
familiarize yourself with the layout of the town. Pay attention to key land-
marks and buildings, and use them to determine where the photograph was
taken. Was the photograph taken from a hill or a prominent vantage point?
Byng Inlet's photographs are dominated by the large cylindrical sawdust
burner that tower over many of the buildings in the town. The use of key fea-
tures as anchors will help you to reconstruct the locations where the photo-
graphs were taken and the angles they illustrate.
As seen in the illustration below (Figure 16.7), it is possible to infer where the
photographs were taken. In this example, the historic photograph has been
added to a plinth modeled on the ground. For educational purposes, these
plinths were added to several locations in the model that match the historic
buildings with those modeled in SketchUp.
