London city zoom in - realistic/white box solution?

[stevesideas]

Have any of you clever Arch Vis guys got an idea on a solution to flying in from above London City, zooming down to Tower Bridge and then along to Kings Coss Station in a realistic or white box style? I would love to use Google Earth Studio but it cannot be used for commercial purposes. I've also looked into Accucities but they are very expensive.

Are there any other solutions that anyone is aware of?

Bit cheaper.......Maproom, and openstreetmaps

Very expensive yes. You could maybe use the free sample they offer, as well as a blurry zoom as establishing shots, then use some sneaky tansitions (crash zoom e.g) to get you to specific points that aren't in that sample, so the bridge and the station.
They would be cheaper than a full city model, or even built custom for this. Just a thought

Thanks Morne. I'll check this out. Hope you are well.

I've suggested this but the client is insistent on a solution to the level of Accucities. I'm pretty sure this is not possible.

Yeah, good one Morne! That is very useful indeed.

EDIT: If the client insists, then I'm sure they'll have no issue paying for it....with luck

how stable is that maproom? Is it good to use?

make the client pay for it... what are they expecting you to do, undercut a business who's entire profit model is based on scale by having you only make a small portion once?

edit: ask the client to sign an indemnification to use google earth studio and absolve you from any legal issues surrounding it if they don't want to pay.
