3D coming soon....
« on: December 30, 2003, 05:21:46 PM »
The next beta version of TopoFusion will have 3D:



The track is displayed as a "roller coaster" using its own GPS collected elevations.  This allows a nice visualization of the difference between DEM, barometric and GPS elevations.





Unfortunately, users will need to supply their own DEM data (it is available free from many sites).  We're trying to make things as fast and intuitive as possible.  An announcement will be made when the beta w/ 3d is available.  Everyone's help in beta testing this feature will be greatly appreciated.

Some more screen shots, now with texture mapping:

This ones from the Bighorn Crags in Idaho, the 3x vertical exaggeration is probably a bit too much here:



Here's Mt. Saint Helens, topo followed by aerial:

I'll be happy to beta test as well.  TF has been great for mapping our new park trails in Colorado Springs.

How do I sign up as a beta tester?  I'm a software test manager for a computer company and would love to help you beta test.

Thanks,

Bob

To sign up for beta testing, just email beta@topofusion.com

You do need to be a registered user though.  We don't put out beta demo versions, only full.
