Like in the model to the right.Ī good example is the gasometer by Jon Stockill. When you want to model mesh, banisters, scaffolding, etc., you can use semi-transparent textures to minimize the complexity of the model. Semi-transparent textures are a powerful tool. If your photo processor does not allow you to set the pixels, use another like Preview (Mac) or GIMP to pixel size the exported photo. If it is to be part of a texture map (see below), you can keep the high pixel count at this stage to preserve detail, though it still needs to be set to the powers-of-two sizes. If this is to be the only texture for this model, try to keep the pixels as small as you can without losing too much detail. You can re-scale distorted images in SketchUp later again. So you want to do that for FlightGear before applying the image to your model. If you don't do this, FlightGear can show the image, but only after a resizing procedure, which eats up processor capacity. That gives you possible resolutions like 2x2, 2x4, 8x32, 256x16 and all the like.

During that export procedure, select a pixels size which is compatible with FlightGear - that means its resolution must be a power of two (e.g., 2 1 = 2, 2 2 = 4, 2 3=8, 2 4 = 16, etc.).

Upload that photo to your computer, then, in your photo processor (iPhoto on Mac GIMP, IrfanView or any other on windows), ‘Crop’ it to show just the square meter, and export it with a good highest detail/lowest file size compromise ('export to web' in iPhoto).Take a photo of some ribbed concrete with a digital camera, preferably with some marks to show 1 square metre.Let's assume you want to overlay ribbed concrete: But it gets really nice and realistic once you use images. Colors are easy simply pick one of the SketchUp's predefined colors. You can apply either a color or an overlay image (texture) to your model. That way you cannot accidentally use something you shouldn't. I recommend you open the 'Colors' or the 'Colors-Named' menu, and do everything from there, ignoring the rest of the main paint-box menus. The only things you can safely use in the SketchUp paint-box are the named colors. You can see all the details for GNU GPL at.

SKETCHUP TEXTURES UPDATE

Once you've adjusted the texture as necessary, click Update to overwrite the existing material. This launches this texture in the editor allowing further adjustments. To edit an existing Architextures material, right click on any face where that material is applied and select Edit with Architextures from the context menu. You can then adjust the settings and import as required.Īlternatively, you can select New Texture from the main view to launch the editor with the default settings and create your texture from there. This launches the editor with the parameters preset based on the selected texture. To edit a library texture, simply click on it and select Edit from the preview window. Creating custom texturesĪny texture in the library can be adjusted to suit your design. Once the material has imported the paint bucket tool is launched automatically with the new material selected. Click Import to add the material to your material palette. Click on any textures from the library to open a preview and access the Import or Edit options.

Upon launching, the library of textures is displayed with filters for quickly narrowing down your selection. Importing texturesĬlick on the Architextures icon or select Extensions > Architextures for SketchUp from the menu bar to launch the extension.
