1 00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:02,419 hi this is my quest of medibang org and 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:05,640 this is a image of Blackpool with 3 00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:08,490 Blackpool Tower in the middle from the 4 00:00:14,450 --> 00:00:11,070 viewpoint of Hoylake which is about 30 5 00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:14,460 miles away and the view is set up to 6 00:00:19,790 --> 00:00:16,680 simulate kind of what you would see on a 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:19,800 flat earth the reason for doing this is 8 00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:22,050 so you can compare this image against 9 00:00:26,929 --> 00:00:24,510 the photograph taken from Hoylake or 10 00:00:28,370 --> 00:00:26,939 wherever you like and see what the 11 00:00:30,230 --> 00:00:28,380 difference is which gives you a good 12 00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:30,240 idea of what's going on with refraction 13 00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:32,040 and what's being hidden by the horizon 14 00:00:37,069 --> 00:00:33,600 but how do you actually get an image 15 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:37,079 like this in Google Earth it's actually 16 00:00:40,369 --> 00:00:38,820 a little bit fiddly Google Earth stiffly 17 00:00:43,069 --> 00:00:40,379 isn't really set up to do things like 18 00:00:47,150 --> 00:00:43,079 this so let's just go step by step 19 00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:47,160 through the process all right so if we 20 00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:52,260 go to to Blackpool we get this nice 3d 21 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:55,739 model of Blackpool if we go to a high 22 00:01:00,049 --> 00:00:57,120 Lake I'm just going to use the search 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:00,059 function here if you get a whole Lake 24 00:01:03,950 --> 00:01:01,770 you see it's good apart to see Blackpool 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:03,960 from right down over here it's a way off 26 00:01:09,469 --> 00:01:07,650 in the distance and if you zoom in it's 27 00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:09,479 just going to kind of change the camera 28 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,180 position so what we do is this little 29 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:14,400 trick first of all we're going to make 30 00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:17,130 blackboard easier to find so we go back 31 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:21,840 back to Blackpool Tower and what we're 32 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:28,680 going to do is create a market so we can 33 00:01:32,330 --> 00:01:30,329 see Blackpool Tower from a greater 34 00:01:34,039 --> 00:01:32,340 distance with with E so I'm going to do 35 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:34,049 that by creating a polygons that are 36 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,650 going to a new polygon and I just click 37 00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:40,320 on the four corners of the tower that's 38 00:01:46,580 --> 00:01:42,780 going to create a polygon and if I click 39 00:01:47,929 --> 00:01:46,590 on the altitude here I do absolute and 40 00:01:51,889 --> 00:01:47,939 then I just make it some large value 41 00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:51,899 like 50,000 feet meters click on extend 42 00:01:56,510 --> 00:01:54,229 sides to ground it creates this big 43 00:01:59,289 --> 00:01:56,520 pillow type fit in which you can see 44 00:02:04,520 --> 00:01:59,299 from a long way off in in Google Earth 45 00:02:08,839 --> 00:02:04,530 now if I go back to high Lake it makes 46 00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:08,849 it a lot easier to see where Blackpool 47 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:11,870 is from that position 48 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:17,520 so let me now go to the next step which 49 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:19,920 is to get right down to the beach now 50 00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:21,810 you could use the little low and 51 00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,340 dragging the street view here but it's 52 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:25,680 actually better if you just go all the 53 00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:29,310 way down in in Google Earth and just get 54 00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:30,960 as low as you can to the actual position 55 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:33,750 you might let's nap in the street view 56 00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:36,450 but you can turn that off anyway let me 57 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:40,620 just go into the next thing which is 58 00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:44,810 adding a photograph so I do add photo 59 00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:48,540 and I'm going to use this special link 60 00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:51,900 that I here's which you can use you 61 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:53,640 don't have to use this but it's just an 62 00:03:01,370 --> 00:02:56,130 easy way of doing it it's made a bump a 63 00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:01,380 dog sliced beef you have to use the HTTP 64 00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:05,670 slash WWWE Bangla org slash T if I press 65 00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:08,880 the tab here you'll see added this photo 66 00:03:12,170 --> 00:03:10,590 overlay which is just a transparent 67 00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:12,180 image there's nothing special about it 68 00:03:23,690 --> 00:03:14,580 and I was going to give it a name 69 00:03:25,550 --> 00:03:23,700 I like to like for power demo and you 70 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:25,560 see we get all these values down here 71 00:03:33,260 --> 00:03:29,360 now if you did this from the street view 72 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:33,270 you would have to click on ok then go 73 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:36,090 back into it we have to click on exit 74 00:03:39,470 --> 00:03:37,440 Street View and you have to go back into 75 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:39,480 this because otherwise if the camera 76 00:03:43,550 --> 00:03:41,850 gets messed up here because I just set 77 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:43,560 the position it's going to work just 78 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:46,710 fine I'm going to set the tilt back so 79 00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:48,210 that the horizon is more or less in the 80 00:03:52,090 --> 00:03:50,550 middle and I know just the heading so 81 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:52,100 that we are heading more towards 82 00:03:58,010 --> 00:03:54,810 Blackpool Tower basically getting this 83 00:04:00,320 --> 00:03:58,020 in the middle here that up a little bit 84 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:00,330 and then this down here is the field of 85 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:01,920 view which is the field of view of this 86 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:05,130 image here which is 50 degrees and if we 87 00:04:10,490 --> 00:04:08,130 zoom in to something more like p900 88 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:10,500 maximum viewing 2000 millimeter lens 89 00:04:17,180 --> 00:04:14,160 that would be about 1 degree so I'm 90 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:17,190 going to go 52 degrees here and I got to 91 00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:18,769 adjust as you zoom in 92 00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:33,560 oops and a little bit more you see 93 00:04:38,559 --> 00:04:34,880 something poking through the bottom 94 00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,569 there now once you've got it zoomed in 95 00:04:42,850 --> 00:04:39,919 as far as this one and a half degrees 96 00:04:48,189 --> 00:04:42,860 you can click out then I can turn off 97 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:48,199 this polygon that I added and then I can 98 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:51,889 go back into the photograph you can see 99 00:04:57,879 --> 00:04:55,210 blackboard our just starting to poke out 100 00:05:02,260 --> 00:04:57,889 from the horizon there zoom in a little 101 00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:02,270 bit more now you can see it doesn't look 102 00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:03,380 very good at the moment 103 00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:06,430 that's because Google Earth caches the 104 00:05:10,990 --> 00:05:09,110 the polygon model there is popped 105 00:05:12,189 --> 00:05:11,000 interview it has to wait a while for it 106 00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:12,199 to come back in sometimes you have to 107 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:14,030 wait quite a long time depending on your 108 00:05:18,700 --> 00:05:15,889 network conditions and just what Google 109 00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:18,710 Earth is doing it can be a little bit 110 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:23,180 bit fiddly so it's being obscured by the 111 00:05:29,589 --> 00:05:25,370 horizon this is a approximately what you 112 00:05:30,999 --> 00:05:29,599 would see from from Hoylake obviously 113 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:31,009 Google Earth isn't accounting for 114 00:05:34,749 --> 00:05:32,810 refraction so you probably actually can 115 00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:34,759 see quite a bit more than this you might 116 00:05:37,810 --> 00:05:36,860 see less it depends on the atmospheric 117 00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:37,820 conditions but you'll probably see a 118 00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:39,110 little bit more than this only probably 119 00:05:45,370 --> 00:05:42,740 going to see it a bit distorted so to 120 00:05:50,110 --> 00:05:45,380 view the simulated flat earth model all 121 00:05:53,499 --> 00:05:50,120 I do is I change the altitude to just a 122 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:53,509 value that you can see the coastline 123 00:05:59,649 --> 00:05:56,650 from so you can just modify it here by 124 00:06:03,430 --> 00:05:59,659 rising up and you'll see the horizon 125 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:03,440 dropping there it moves slowly but if 126 00:06:06,969 --> 00:06:05,810 you let go and then really again of 127 00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:06,979 something fast because it's moving 128 00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:09,380 relative to the original position you 129 00:06:14,589 --> 00:06:11,449 can just type something in here like 150 130 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:14,599 meters but I kind of like to do it 131 00:06:20,379 --> 00:06:17,090 manually so you can see that horizon 132 00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:20,389 boiling or what's being revealed you can 133 00:06:23,559 --> 00:06:21,830 see actually the horizon dropping away 134 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,569 as well as you get higher even than my 135 00:06:27,939 --> 00:06:25,520 tilt angle isn't changing and that you 136 00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:27,949 can see the background being revealed 137 00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:30,440 now something to note is that this isn't 138 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:32,270 the perfect flat earth model 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:35,060 plus earth view because the hills in the 140 00:06:39,129 --> 00:06:37,130 background are going to be at the wrong 141 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:39,139 angle because they're so far behind the 142 00:06:43,090 --> 00:06:40,490 towers and they're going to be a bit of 143 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:43,100 a difference between the the buildings 144 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,810 as well especially here because it's a 145 00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:47,120 bit of an angle but it's going to give 146 00:06:52,870 --> 00:06:50,710 you especially for this oceanfront 147 00:06:55,180 --> 00:06:52,880 right here it's going to give you a very 148 00:06:56,530 --> 00:06:55,190 accurate representation and it is going 149 00:06:59,650 --> 00:06:56,540 to give you a very good representation 150 00:07:01,330 --> 00:06:59,660 of what you see would see from voile so 151 00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:01,340 I'm going to keep going here until I can 152 00:07:09,550 --> 00:07:05,600 see the beach and I'm just going to tilt 153 00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:09,560 down a little bit more and since I'm 154 00:07:17,950 --> 00:07:14,510 here I'm going to zoom in so I can see 155 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:17,960 the beach and I'm going to raise my 156 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:23,330 pupil took a little more Google Earth 157 00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:25,250 sometimes jumps around it's a bit fiddly 158 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:27,710 and you have to kind of fight it a bit 159 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:30,650 but you'll get there eventually all 160 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:34,370 right so I can't quite see the boardwalk 161 00:07:43,659 --> 00:07:36,050 in the front there so I'm going to keep 162 00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:43,669 going and that's yes I think you can set 163 00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:47,270 right there I think here you can see one 164 00:07:51,250 --> 00:07:49,310 issue is a boardwalk the easy way to 165 00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:51,260 test is just to keep going and you know 166 00:07:58,740 --> 00:07:53,030 set some quite high value in so I'm 167 00:08:05,320 --> 00:07:58,750 going to stick in 300 meters here oops 168 00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:05,330 and then just tilt down and we can see 169 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:10,099 what we can actually see again it's 170 00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:11,330 going to take a while for things to come 171 00:08:21,059 --> 00:08:19,260 setting a high view point like this will 172 00:08:22,709 --> 00:08:21,069 give you some idea of any parallax 173 00:08:25,679 --> 00:08:22,719 problems you might have with buildings 174 00:08:29,459 --> 00:08:25,689 being too far behind each other but you 175 00:08:31,619 --> 00:08:29,469 can see here this Pierce logic board was 176 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:31,629 appears a boardwalk here this is the 177 00:08:35,790 --> 00:08:33,610 beach in front and there's a water line 178 00:08:38,069 --> 00:08:35,800 down here but this is a business sloping 179 00:08:40,170 --> 00:08:38,079 Beach down here you get quite hyped high 180 00:08:41,579 --> 00:08:40,180 tides in Blackpool kind of difficult to 181 00:08:44,819 --> 00:08:41,589 say exactly where the water line is 182 00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:44,829 because the tides vary so much okay so 183 00:08:54,329 --> 00:08:47,140 I'm going to move this back down to 175 184 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:54,339 metres which I know is about right you 185 00:09:01,819 --> 00:08:58,130 can be able to go a bit below that 150 186 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:01,829 [Music] 187 00:09:11,340 --> 00:09:03,930 looks about right 188 00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:11,350 okay so just adjust the tilt and I can 189 00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:14,769 just change this field of view make it a 190 00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:16,870 bit bigger than the zoom out again so 191 00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:21,820 you can see more of the coastline these 192 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:23,260 nasty Pollock you know polygonal 193 00:09:27,060 --> 00:09:24,880 buildings but if you wait a while I'll 194 00:09:29,009 --> 00:09:27,070 pop back into view you can change this 195 00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:29,019 transparency here and get rid of the 196 00:09:33,689 --> 00:09:31,750 frame that doesn't always work but we 197 00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:33,699 did right now so move this off to the 198 00:09:39,420 --> 00:09:36,550 side and here is your simulated flutter 199 00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:39,430 view or blackboard remember it isn't 200 00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:42,220 exact because these hills aren't going 201 00:09:44,970 --> 00:09:43,690 to be quite right because it's so far 202 00:09:46,439 --> 00:09:44,980 away but for buildings that are 203 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:46,449 reasonably close to each other it's 204 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:48,610 going to give you a good relationship
