Hi all.
I have just recently uploaded this tower to Google Earth:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=d081d26e374dfbe910fdcf21e6789f26&ct=mdsa
It has not been evaluated yet, but i would love to have som feedback from you guys, as it is my first attempt on this type of structure.
Any tips on how to do this better?

Re: Steel tower, commentsNice model however when modelling these kinds of structures for GE, you should keep yourself to certain guidelines:

I tried going down the png/transparency road for the structure, but i was completely unable to get a good picture, because it is placed on top of a mountain, and it is impossible to get a "side in" view. All pictures where from below and up, and the structure was hopeless to get to look good enough for me to be able to make a good material. However, I used pictures from the tower for material, but i resized them to be really small. Would it be better to use bigger pictures? I was thinking about filesize when i did this. Please forgive my norwenglish. I hope the sentences are possible to understand anyway. ![]() Re: Steel tower, commentsWell, I understand that often it's practically impossible to take a good picture. Eventually you could however get just one side of your structure, export an image in an orthographic (parallel" view of it and make a good transparent png using that image. Then simply project the image onto a single surface.
