As many of you know, 3Dwalkthroughs.com will select our favorite 3D model each month from Greg Rose's blog which highlights new 3D building models as they are added to Google's 3D Warehouse.

Our monthly selection is based on an impressive: architecture, level of detail, level of realism etc.

For the month of September we have chosen Karigamombe Centre. We were particularly impressed with the refection of trees and clouds against the building.
