Some New 3D Warehouse Collections

Hi SketchUp Islanders! Just a quick note directing you to some new collections I put up on the Google 3D Warehouse: Bar and Restaurant, Barn and Farm, Burbank, California

Texturing A Model Using Street View Images

*

EDIT: Newer versions of SketchUp now integrate Street View Texturing which saves a lot of steps!

This model is the first I ever tried using Google Street View for textures. It was actually pretty easy to do. used free Google Picasa photo editing software as an image capture tool. All you do is have Street View open in either Google Maps or Google Earth, and press the "PrtScn" key on your keyboard (I'm using a PC, maybe Macs are different) to capture the screen image.
