Liquid Galaxy project

Create a 3D building of your city (that has not been scanned by Google airplanes in 3D)

Since 2012, Google is sending planes to create the amazing 3D city views we have in Google Earth, next to other inputs such as plain maps or street view imagery. BUT not all cities and towns of the Earth have this 3d buildings already on place. If your town or city is NOT FULLY in 3D you can use free Sketchup application https://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-free and construct in 3D one building of your city/town.

If you want to take a look at this (and many other) video in Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2f3DlI31-M you'll get the idea of the task, but remember: you haver to model a building from your city, as we'll doucle check on this through photos.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND A BUILDING NOT DESIGNED BY YOU, this will cause we do not believe in your behavior... For this reason we also need 2 photos of the real building. Those can be made by you or screenshots of Street View imagery if available.

Deliverable is a SKP file with your building sent to us at lgcodein@gmail.com, and a shared one page google doc describing the experience creating the building next to the 2 photos of the actual building.
