Funkfeuer blender models

The animation above shows the funkfeuer graz meshnet and gives some impressions of "Kunsthaus Graz" and the medialab. It shows scenes from the wireless community weekend and my blender workshops

The animation was completly done in blender. The underlaying image was taken from googlemaps and is removed in the blendfile. 

Use the results: 

If you only want to see the results in blender take this file.

It has the meshnet imported already and no needs for further installations (but blender).

Press Alt-A over the script to see the animation.

Funkfeuer map live generation: 

To get the data imported dynamically and generate the CURRENT connection status of our olsr net you need:

• Blender 2.44+
  
• Python 2.3+
• ElementTree  (if you have easy_install, simply type "easy_install elementree" on console)
• This blender file and a internet connection 

After opening the blender file run the script with Alt-P. It will access the internet to import data (make sure your firewall allows that) and generate the mesh according to the current connections of funkfeuer graz.  

ToDo:

dynamic updates would be cool, integration to webserver, topology map of the city, get z-coordinates into the funkfeuer -database, ...
