How to photograph buildings
(for submission to us)
|
Face-on photos which have as little distortion as
possible (i.e. not rotated, at an angle or bowed from lens
distortion). Stand back as far as you can and zoom
into the wall you want to photo. Try also to avoid obscurities
such as cars and lens flare from bright sunshine. |
|
Edge-on photos that give us an idea of features on the
walls. These are important in knowing how to put
your model together. If there are obstacles in the way such as
trees or other buildings, try to take photos that will show |
These photos will be used to texture your model
and we may have to charge extra if the textures need a lot of
work! |
us as much information as possible behind these obstacles. |
Other points on photography
- An overcast day is the best
day for photographing your building.
- Make sure you take photos all
around the perimeter of your building, if possible.
- Take the largest picture you
can of the wall you're photographing (this will also help you level
the picture with the bottom and top of the frame)
- Make sure there's a photo
with the roof in it - so we know how to texture the roof.
- Send us photos that are no
larger than 800x600 in size.
The more information you can
provide for all the walls of your building, the better; even if they
don't have many features.
