Virtual-world developers using Multiverse Networks' platform are able to import 3D models from Google's 3D Warehouse into their projects. Now, those developers will also be able to select and import terrain from Google Earth. In combination, the models and the terrain will let those making virtual worlds build in all kinds of realistic-looking real-life territory, such as urban centers, national parks or whatever else they choose.
