concept3D Marks Second Year as Premier Google Earth(TM) Content Developer

Company evolves from 3D modeling firm to GeoWeb integration company with emphasis on Google Earth(TM) and Maps products

Boulder, Colorado (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- In August, 2006, after Google(TM) acquired @Last(TM) Software, the makers of SketchUp(TM) Software, concept3D was founded to become a custom Google Earth(TM) modeling firm. With its charter to 'model the world', concept3D has modeled over 10,000 custom models for multiple markets and clients including hotels/resorts, theme parks, commercial and residential real estate, civil planners and engineering firms, landmarks, higher education and more. concept3D now offers a range of services from 3D model creation to Web integration of geography-based content.

"concept3d started when Google Earth(TM) began adding large volumes of user-generated content over two years ago. They since have established themselves as a premier Google Earth(TM) modeling shop and built a business that leverages Google Earth(TM) and other Google(TM) products, I've enjoyed seeing them grow their 3D production and evolve by offering a complete range of GeoWeb services," said Frank Taylor, publisher of Google Earth(TM) Blog which provides stories on the latest developments of the GeoWeb and Google Earth(TM) technologies.

As a leader in a nascent market, concept3D spent much of its first two years proving the value of 3D and the Web through market and business development efforts in key vertical markets.

"When we started the company, we had a handful of clients who were innovators and willing to adopt 3D and the Web. Now, a broader number of clients across multiple verticals see value in presenting their products and properties in 3D on Google Earth(TM) and the Web," said Oliver Davis, CEO of concept3D.

Today, concept3D is as focused on model creation as it is on making 3D and Maps usable on the Web and accessible to several key markets. "Our mantra is to 'go beyond the model' so we've hired not only high quality 3D artists and architects but software developers as well. Our services now span from 2D to 3D to 4D," said Oliver Davis, CEO.

A partial list of clients (many clients prohibit disclosure) include: Colliers International, Staubach Real Estate, Hayman Company Commercial Real Estate, Kimley-Horn, Perkins and Will Architecture, Bixby Architecture, over forty building product manufacturers, universities, leading theme park and resort companies, and over 30 others.
