The sun

Send us your kmz file. We look at the sun position in the shadows of the terrain around your model to set up the lighting

We make new textures for your model baking the light and the previous textures of the model. You will get the same kmz file with new collada model and textures, located in the same place as the original model.

About the use of pictures

You can send us models with pictures as textures, but they should be shadeless or with very soft shadows in order to get a nice result. Otherwise the original shadows will get mixed with the calculated ones giving a dirty look.

It's ok to use sketchup's material library as they use shadeless textures.

Models with instances or library objects

If you have generated your kmz using Sketchup with instances or library objects we will need the .skp file. Send us both (kmz and skp) files to avoid problems.
