Eyebeam R&D’s OpenGLExtractor

Want to add your favorite 3D game character to GoogleEarth? Eyebeam R&D’s OpenGLExtractor allows you to capture and re-use 3D geometry data in other 3D graphics applications, basically a “screen grab” for 3D objects. The example on Eyebeam’s OpenLab site shows a couple of mashups with Google Earth where 3D data was captured and imported. If you are interested in 3D development for virtual worlds and 3D mapping, check out OpenGLExtractor.

*Note* OpenGLExtractor runs as a plugin for Eyebeam’s GLIntercept, so you would have to have some familiarity with OpenGL programming to use it, but it is a free download.
