On the very top, and probably unknown to most people, there appears to be viewing windows. Probably is a pretty nice view from there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think Ypsilanti designers were way, way, ahead of their time! It certainly appears Blue Origin copied their design!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, just playing around with looking at things differently. Start with DJI Mini 2 photos (about 150 of them) crunch them together in WebODM. While you can get a lot of outputs, this one is the “Dense Point Cloud”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been trying to add it in the “raw” state to allow viewers to manipulate the file itself, but it requires a lot more skill than I have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I settled for making a video using OBS Studio, then putting it into Davinci Resolve, then finally running it through Hand Brake! While there are a lot of holes caused by overhanging areas, I was happy for a first attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
