Request-a-Model 2

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that it's taken so long to get a rig together that will work. I'm now using 3D Ripper DX with Google 5.2.1.188 and 3d max design 2011 to pull models out of google earth. I am currently using a GTX 550 card, though I've also seen it work with some integrated mobile video cards as well. 

For those that can not grab their own site, I will try to respond to requests here, time permitting. Requirements are same as previously:

- the larger the request, the more "rough" the mesh will be
- the best size for a grab is 1-2 city blocks
- and for special requests (like textures), please include your email so I can contact you.

Request-a-Model

To request an extracted Google Earth model (via GLXtractor method), simply post a reply below. In it, please let me know the following: Google longitude/latitude, height, and intent for the model. <-- Interested to see what cool stuff people come up with. I will then post a small 5x5 block of the site for you to download here.

There's got to be a better way around this. I'm often too busy to check up here. To expedite the process, I recommend sending me a Google Earth kml file of the site, at the correct zoom. And keep your requests tight (max 2km high). Or at least send me a screenshot I'll try to respond within a reasonable time limit. Thanks! 1-16-13

Sorry guys, my Vostro 1500 laptop is down. Seems only that type of laptop works with this process. So until I can fix it, this service will have concluded. Sorry to those that recently requested help... you were a bit too late!
