My guess is that it's the proxy responding since the server is going down. I got the same error and when I continued I saw "Your domain name is parked.

As someone who worked at Realtime Worlds on the MyWorld project, this is very poignant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realtime_Worlds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MyWorld

Interesting!

Do you have some more details you could share, like screenshots or trailers/videos? Sadly the video link to the trailer on YouTube is not working anymore.

Awesome project by Nils Bakker. Linking 3D tiles to Unreal Engine and ChatGPT.

Hehe, by you, you mean? ;) This is a really fun way to combine something that is being discussed to death with something that is visually beautiful. I'm fairly disinterested in most ChatGPT usages at the moment, but this is a really good way to show its utility. Particularly because it doesn't place _too_ much emphasis on the factual accuracy of the responses ;)

What, you don't think FC Barcelona is the best football club in Europe? ;-)

Lovely simple Unreal project. It's amazing how much can be accomplished with Blueprints when all the necessary functionality is at your disposal (although it can be hellish when it's not). I have such a love/hate relationship with UE. Sometimes it will blow me away with how some stuff just works with a few blueprints and other times (especially around physics) it just wants to do stuff its way or the highway.

This is amazing - it will be cool when these models in unity can be turned into real buildings where one can design the interiors as well, and maybe use this in Hitman to play real cities.

Incredible! The video music is also amazing. (But the slight chromatic aberration was distracting.)

I cannot stand the music, or music in any video of this type. I don't need or want its loaded suggestions. I would love to be able to hear even simulated wind whistling, and sounds from the scenes below.

I also tried my hand on integrating the Google Earth Tiles with Cesium.js for GPS Track visualization: https://cubetrek.com/static/highresmode.html

It basically allows you to replay your hikes, running or biking adventures in 3D.

I wonder how much Google's gonna charge once it's out of experimental mode.
