Make really big (1600x1400px) png-textures with only 36KB. I have tested png-textures a lot and discovered that it is possible to When a modell is accepted for the Google-Earth 3D-layer, the texturesĪre transformed in some way (loss of quality).
#Google sketchup textures windows#
For example, windows can often be cut in half and mirrored with a single extra polygon. Ensuring your textures are correctly dimensioned is likely going to save even more than choosing the right format.And then there are the tricks. I always reduce the resolution to keep the file size as small > images on the internet and generally they come in at about 72 pixels / You will be surprised at how large a sketchup file can get if > textures that are saved with a resolution of as little as 15 pixels /

> you will be viewing the image at close range, otherwise you will not Only use higher resolution if you believe > Most important is to keep the image file but the point is moot as this is mostly good for nothing. There's a third case in which you may want to use pngs, that is higherĬolor precision. Textures (which typically are within jpg's tolerances), I think I've Pngs by contrast apply a completely lossless compression (it's genericĭata compression, as it is for example. Jpgs don't cope well with them and you can easily find on the internetĮxamples of how excessive compression happens to murder this detail. This is exactly the case for which jpegsīy constast, text or stripes (or, sometimes, one edge of the defaultīlack-to-white gradient) typically contains high-frequency information. The gradient tool generally produces mostly low-frequency information Gradient tool in your favorite image composition SW and play with it.

The second thing is **high-frequency information**. If you have transparency you have no choice that going for pngs as SUĭoesn't support any kind of "channel composition" feature (not that IĬonsider this bad, many people wouldn't use it anyway). When accounting for footprint, jpegs will win 98% of the time thanks toĪs stated, the first thing you need to account for is **transparency**.
#Google sketchup textures free#
We share free seamless textures, 3d model and many 3D. Starting point: in most situations, sayĩ5%, jpegs will do just fine (assuming proper compression!). Sketchup Texture Club is an educational comunity, a 3D art gallery that unites all CG artists. I use mainly jpg because I am more familiar with
