Your models look amazing! I still have a lot to learn...

Eduardo,
Mainly, I'm doing it the same way you did this sample. Since I'm taking my photos from the ground, I often can't get good pictures of the roofs, chimneys, etc. Then I use textures from CGTextures for roof tiles and bricks.

Great job EduardoNL!! That's exactly how to properly create photo textures! Really nice! Keep up the good work, and if you have any problems or questions, feel free to PM here on SketchUcation Forums!!

This whole town is getting more and more complete and exciting. Also good modelling; congrats!
-
Thanks for your comment Csaba.
I am now working on a church which has been converted to a theatre. To complete the square I still have about 15 building to model.So more to come!

I'm now updating one of my first models, Residence Dagmara. (Built in 1879)
The Google Earth accepted model doesn't have any photo textures, so its time for an update!
-
Hi Eduardo,
Looking great. I can still see however that your photo - no matter how well it was shot - has some "barrel distortion" (bulging on the sides). Maybe it's not a big deal in this image but sometimes, when taking photos with a wide angle camera (like in old towns with narrow streets), it can be rather striking.
Have a look at this nifty, little application; GML Undistorter, which will allow you to get rd of this distortion.
(They also have a texturizer plugin for SU if you are interested) -
Thanks for that link Csaba, that might come in handy!
Indeed, I've got some distortion issues sometimes.
I had to photoshop some extra "wall" at the top of the building because of the distortion.To be continued!
-
Residence Dagmara ready for Google Earth.
Attached the old and the new model!
-
Definitely much better.
-
3 more models have been accepted!
Including the improved version of the Residence Dagmara. (above)My new project is the city theatre the "Maagd"
Please take a look!Building the front:
Front, entrance is between the two buildings.
Rear, on the right is the loading dock.
The two buildings on the left are the "artist entrance" and the ticket office.Regards,
Ward -
Congrats, Ward. The whole city is getting shape slowly but steadily. They can be proud of it - and you!
-
-
Update! Google accepted more models!
City theatre "De Maagd" highlighted in blue and the "St. Gertrudis" church.
(model made by other modeler) -
Yeah, there was a major update (my first model was also accepted)
-

Well, the modelis not that great (here it is) as I wanted to "cheat" and spare some curves and screwed up texturing here and there.
What is more interesting however is the info field in GE IF (!) you download it from the Warehouse. Compare it with what pops up from the model in the 3D Layer.
This "rich html" content in the description field is what I'm currently "lobbying" for at Google (and Bruce; it allows iFrames as well ) so that it can get through the 3D Layer export process, too.
