The pieces are starting to flow together. The data in the Rockheim Wiki, the KML (& Collada) file format translator, and a procedural 3d form generator can now generate some cool embedded content experiences into Google Earth in a relatively automated fashion (minus a few bugs/steps to automate). All the steps now work though it needs some optimization to be manageable through a webbrowser (this image has > 980 album links in it with cover art/etc.).

‘Second Earth’ is a reality, not just a dream. Onwards!

A nice breakthrough today with the core code finished to convert from PD (and Polytrim) to Google Earth (by way of the industry standard COLLADA format). Support for colours, textures, etc. working now.

A little more work to improve positioning and auto-translation of texture formats still needed but that is just the icing.
