| Description | The paper is devoted to the topic of reconstructive 3D models. They are very illustrative for presenting knowledge about the historical character and urban development of cities. paper describes creation of a virtual model of the city Brno expressing its appearance at the Swedish siege in 1645. 3D model for two other periods, namely the years 1400 and 1749, have been processed subsequently. City model has been then created using the free software Trimble SketchUp. All three virtual models are available on the website http://www.brno1645.cz. The models were also presented to high school students, for example, during the GIS Day 2014, organized by the Department of Geography at Masaryk University in Brno. |
