Roofs: GE image or a photo texture?

leedeetee · 11 Jan 2010, 22:10

Hello guys,

Just doing a bit of forward planning....

When adding a photo texture to a roof, specifically for GE. Is it best to use a) use the GE projected image, or b) use photo texture from a photograph.

If the best solution is b) then could someone please explain how best it would be to do this? (I have sucessfully done a) a few times!).

Many thanks!

Lee

Google prefers (and will more readily accept) models with the GE projected image, because the model blends in better.

Even though for my town in question, the GE image is almost certainly inferior to any photo texture?

Thanks for answering.

Hi Lee,

It is not that bad in your town. If it is really, then maybe go for photo images and see what happens. They have accepted my (only) model I built for GE with a photo image (actually, the building is hardly visible on the GE imagery)

Ok, cheers guys.

It's just hard to know what to do for the best, when the GE images obviously aren't perfect and I want to produce the best model possible.
