"Where are we?" Part 2

and another with a stand-alone image editing app called 'toy camera'

Here is the link to download it (free). Don't download the 'analogcolor' one because it leaves a watermark on your image.

whoa it looks so much better with less green in it. More natural, if that's applicable

Does Toycamera accept an .hdr as input?

[olishea]

doubt it but try it....only takes a few seconds to download. You just drag and drop an image into the preview window.

[olishea]

No it doesn't.....its good for quick PP not advanced stuff.

Impressive image Oli, bravo...

Amazing Oli... but how did you apply textures in that way inside sketchup? is that some kind of projection? Thanks for your help!

[olishea]

1) show hidden geometry

2) then click on one of the triangles that make up the mesh

3) Import and resize large texture onto that triangle

4) Sample that texture using the ink dropper tool

5) then apply it to the rest of the model (at this point you could project that texture)

You can only do this with a good high res seamless texture.

I 'textured' the path in photoshop by just painting another image of rocks etc.

I will texture it properly later....you can separate each 'trunk' with tools-on-surface plugin and texture individually-the new freehand tool is great.

Thanks for the explanation... and once again congrats for such a good work!

[olishea]

Thanks, no probs. It's still a WIP so more to come. Any high quality large texture should tile nicely on stuff like this....but projecting textures causes horrible stretching most of the time. It depends on what you are texturing though....sometimes projecting works very nicely. This was just a large damaged concrete texture from cgtextures.

Whaat's UV tools at sketchucation.com can texture spheres/cylinders etc nicely but it's not very consistent I find
