We will design one of our town centers, Hall's Corner using Google Sketchup and will upload our work to the Sketchup Warehouse. This will provide users of Google Earth with buildings to place around Hall's Corner, so that they can see the way the village looks. One thing we are aiming for is to have Google recognize our work and include these buildings in the base layer of Google Earth, so users all over the world can turn buildings on in Earth and see what we live in.

 

There are a set of photos for us to use initially, and everybody is welcome to add to those photos. If you would like to upload them to your flickr account, your classmates can access them as well.

 

Here is a link to photos of Hall's Corner - Use these photos for textures - http://flickr.com/groups/315169@N24/

 

Here are some notes on the project from the daily assignment sheet:
