Description
A large-scale three-dimensional model of Galactic extinction is
presented based on the Galactic dust distribution model of citet{DS01}.
The extinction AV to any point within the Galactic disk can
be quickly deduced using a set of three-dimensional Cartesian grids.
Extinctions from the model are compared to empirical extinction
measures, including lines-of-sight in and near the Galactic plane using
optical and NIR extinction measures; in particular we show how
extinction can be derived from NIR color-magnitude diagrams in the
Galactic plane to a distance of 8 kiloparsec.
