Effective immediately, 3D Nature is shipping an updated Visual Nature Studio 3 with Scene Express including support for new features in Google Earth 5. Among other new capabilities, Google Earth 5 offers Guided Tours - pre-recorded viewpoint paths that take the viewer on a predetermined route through the landscape. Visual Nature Studio has always offered "Animated Cameras" to accomplish this, but this capability was never available when exporting to Google Earth. Now, golf course designers, landscape architects, foresters, developers, highway planners and other interested parties can direct the viewing public through their creations by way of Google Earth.
Visual Nature Studio 3 with Scene Express can build realistic and accurate 3D environments and publish them to Google Earth 5 like no other tool available. VNS 3 includes a substantial library of trees and vegetation that can be used in Google Earth -- more than anyone else! VNS can also be used to make still images and animations of landscapes with a visual quality exceeding what Google Earth is capable of.
Visual Nature Studio 3 is a complete 3D landscape creation tool with the ability to place trees and vegetation, buildings, roads, bridges, vehicles, lakes and streams into the scene with photorealistic visual quality. Working with data from GIS and CAD tools as well as free data available online, VNS can be used to depict new projects designs,
multiple proposed alternatives or historical re-creations with equal ease. With today's heightened sensitivity about ecological, environmental and visual impact, new developments of any significance face scrutiny from the public. From cutting edge wind farms, solar energy installations, sustainable developments and reclamation of Brownfields to more conventional energy plants, pipelines, powerlines and transportation projects, VNS 3 can be the key to gaining public support and regulatory approval.

Adopting Cloud computing can save money, but good governance is essential to manage the risk argues Mike Small
