If I remember correctly, doesn't the new version of Building Maker use the textures from Google Earth?

i'm not very sure

Joey1 · « **Reply #101 on:** February 21, 2011, 19:35:15 »

Here are the first three

in the first you an edited building front.

the second you have to edit a bit

and look what you can pick out of the third

Very nice job, but I can't see the texture, if you don't attach the texture map

The Ferry King · « **Reply #107 on:** February 21, 2011, 20:14:12 »

what do you mean?
the picture you gave me is the texture

Joey1 · « **Reply #108 on:** February 21, 2011, 20:18:10 »

Yes but you used only this pic and for the roof there is nothing. You would need to include this part too. A bit of grey colour wold be okay for example.

If you don't understand what I mean look at the attached image.

The Ferry King · « **Reply #118 on:** February 22, 2011, 14:15:27 »

Very Very nice!
now we just need the right textures that would fit the bridge

The Ferry King · « **Reply #119 on:** February 22, 2011, 15:03:13 »

Currently working on tree's
they are 2nd now but using copy and rotate i will make more than one ! and the shape will look like a 3d tree.
here is my progress so far

The Ferry King · « **Reply #120 on:** February 22, 2011, 15:08:14 »

(sorry triple post)

Ok i finished tree 3d 1!

Joey1 · « **Reply #121 on:** February 22, 2011, 15:09:25 »

Very nice TFK you only need to upload one tree the rest we will do when we are putting all together (buildings, bridges etc.)

About the models you uploaded in the file topic please attach the texture* and all three bouildings in the last file have too many polys to be repaeted, but we need to repaet all buildings exept the big main buildings like churches.

* please put the textures on a 256x256 pixel sheet, if you don't do this I have to retexture every building.

Joey

Joey1 · « **Reply #122 on:** February 22, 2011, 15:52:33 »

Ok this is a short tutorial about making the texture sheet.

First open a picture editing program of your choice they all look very similar, here I used GIMP (you can download it free, just google it)

Click on File>New (fig_1) then a small window open where you can put in the size of the new file. Here you have to type in 256 and 256 because we want to do a texture for a repeatable building. (fig_2)

When we click on OK we see our new file.

Now we have to open the file with the picture for the texture. (fig_3) On this picture you have to select a part, for example the roof. And the copy this part and paste it as new image. (fig_4)

Now we can scale the roof to the right size we can easily put in 256 as high and it fits perfectly into the texture file. (fig_5)

To put it in the texture file copy it again and insert it as new layer. (fig_6)

These steps you have to do with every part of the texture.

If you have any questions please ask.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Joey

and the last pic...

cptnchris · « **Reply #124 on:** February 25, 2011, 01:25:09 »

I really like this idea and would like to contribute. I am not an experianced modeller but I would like to make some small things, it would be fun! Thank you in advance!

EDIT: What programs are we allowed to use? Thanks!

EDIT 2: That is a broad question I guess. Google Sketchup is fine?

Poll

Which environment should we model?
