spolkyc Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ya, I doubt that is a live shot. Looks like the map is overlaid on a pro-photo. Basically what they do for adds and promo stuff. Not only will 3D buildings and objects take lots of data it would also require lots of labor costs for artists to create it. It is done for cool buildings here but not the bulk of things like office buildings and houses. For example check out google earth. The photorealistic buildings are for ones that the owners or locals want to show off and mostly in downtown areas. The gray i believe are just made from the computer looking at the satellite view.
