      Hello everybody,
      I have been looking for a while on this forum for a video tutorial about the tool “Sandbox” where I can understand the process of modeling the ground in a very realistic way.
      In my project I am modeling a 30 meters high hill in Hoboken (New Jersey).
      I would be very interested if you had tutorials on how to create a realistic hill/cliff.
      Having the Google Earth map and the Hoboken 30 meters slope, I would like to know if it would be possible to print the map on the hill.

      I saw some tutorials about that but it's not realalitic when I did it...😞 IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME TO CREATE THE SLOPE AND TO PRINT THE PLAN ON THE SLOPE I WILL SOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY (I can pay if u want by paypal or something I'm so depressed 😞..it s really important for me (my final exam in architectur)

      Thanks in advance, I uploaded my sketch-up file at this URL: http://dl.free.fr/mlf2YUP1T
      In the .rar file you will find the sketch-up file and 2 pictures of the hill to have an idea.
      On the sketchup file I created the hill and the slope in green and orange to show the inclination.

      Again, thank you very much and have a VERY good day.

        Can you load up some of the skecth up images from your model?

          Hi Bibi,

          What do you press here to download the model? 😒

          And yes, it is quite easy to add the image of the hill. Make sure however (just to prepare for it) to do these things correctly right after each other:

          • get the current GE snapshot in SU
          • before you change your view in GE, turn every visible layers (like labels, panoramio images etc.) in the GE sidebar and go to File > Save > Save image.
            When we have access to your skp file, we can go on with swapping the B&W image to the colour one and projecting it on your hill.

            Press " Télécharger ce fichier "
            I tried to upload it here, but it takes forever...
            Edit: I am aware of the file size limit, I am having troubles with my internet connection... 😕

            Comfortably numb...

              Thanks a lot guys for your help
              You can find the file on Megaupload too at : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3G1IL9XR

              If u want to have another idea of the slope if u use Google Earth or google map tape =>"Hoboken NJ" and u will see the "hill"
              THX THX THX a LOT 😄

                    Hi Bibi,

                    What I could suggest at this point is to combine all the base images into one image (explode and combine all the groups/faces) and apply them to a TIN made from scratch with the Sandbox tools.

                    Then you can use the stamp tool (Sandbox again) to add that "hill" with the "highland city" on top. I do not know however if that would be any kind of realistic thing. Is the top of the hill there really so flat and evenly above the surrounding?

                    Gai...
