Imagine being able to load a GIS Scene like this- where EVERYTHING is Geo-Referenced- and click on each object- like the trees- and add the specific trees you want- and the ENTIRE SCENE is updated with those trees correctly placed, scaled, etc. *******************************************************

As I work with Vue and Eco-Systems scenes I've become
increasingly interested in the huge potential of applying
GIS (Geographic Information System) Data to Vue scenes.
-Unfortunately- you CAN'T yet- not directly- but the basic
surface of this concept has been SCRATCHED by people who
create Photoshop templates that can guide WHERE
Eco-Systems materials can be placed. The results are
extremely precise looking parks, gardens or city scapes.

But there is a HUGE potential in applying GIS templates
to Vue Eco-Systems because GIS can "Geo-Reference" ALL
of the template overlay SHAPES or SHP files so that all
alignments are a correct according to a specific Geo-Terrain.
HUGE amounts of FREE Terrain data are already available on
the internet, including high resolution satellite photo
overlays and even weather phenomena- like hurricanes- which
ALL snap exactly into correct locations because of terrain
Geo-Referencing.
