Hi guys,
I'm having fun using SketchyPhysics.
Here's a few short animations:

Welome! Nice render and animation.
Something tells me you've done this before...
The Markiezenhof is finally done!
You can view and download the model here:

Good explanation Csaba.
Here is more info on textures subject:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/sketchup/3dwh/acceptance_criteria.html
"Models should be completely photo-textured.
Use photos of the actual structure to "paint" your model.
More detail
We recommend using high-quality and properly sized photographs to produce textures:
* Texture the entire model, including the roof. For faces that can't be photographed, such as the roof, use the imagery in Google Earth. If Google Earth's imagery is too blurry, or, outdated (the building was developed after the imagery was taken) then it's acceptable to use SketchUp materials provided the color and scale are as accurate as possible.
* Use one photo for a face to enhance a model's realism. Please make sure that the face is completely covered with the photo, and no sky or ground imagery can be seen.
* We suggest using images that are greater than 256 pixels wide but less than 512 pixels. It's possible to use images greater than 1024 pixels and less than 2048 pixels; however, files larger than 10MB won't be accepted into the Google 3D Warehouse."
Johnsenior1973,
I understand your frustrations! Sometimes Google accepts wacky models... don't be bothered.
Don't give up though. A way to improve your model is to make sure you use textured roofs etc.
I've added a roof texture to your model, took me 5 minutes. Looks better now doesn't it?
Hope this helps, good luck.

Improving the tower:
Middle image is the old model, left is the improved model. I added photo textures, looks much better now!
Simple render using Twilight Render:
Update!
Right click for full view.
Thanks for the reply guys. 
Found the solution in making the texture unique.

Okey.. I think it's got something to do with the position of the texture and the fixed pins option.
When I reset the texture it exports ok, as soon as I start working with the pins the SU -> Kerky model is messed up. 
Hi guys,
I got a problem exporting my SU model to Kerkythea.
The roofing texture is all messed up, please take a look at the enclosed images:

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

SimplY? I think it's pretty detailed.
Looks like Bender's bigger brother:
Hey phmeier,
Thank for your comment.
I don't use Photomatch, to be honest I haven't even tried it... 
(All those lines confuse me, I wouldn't know where to start!)
Anyways, I take digital photos and use them for reference, for example a door is about 2,10 m high. Then I can get a pretty good idea how tall the rest of the building is.
Good luck modelling your city!

Ward
Hey Csaba,
Sounds exciting! Let me know if Google decides to include this in the 3d progress.
It would be nice to include some more text or images in the model description.
The Markiezenhof:
Still working on the model, size is now 1,1 mb. When I'm done modelling I will clean the model by optimising en resizing textures.
The three buildings on the left are the library and the children library.
The building in the middle is a restaurant, and the large building on the right with the arched gate is a part of the museum.
Hey AcesHigh,
You models are looking nice! Got a link to your 3D warehouse?
