Download, and IMPORT it into Sketchup so that you can try modelling it with Matched Photo Done?
 * Exercise ONE - model stock photos**
 * Search Youtube for other examples of Match Photo (or PhotoMatch) being used to create models
 * Try modelling famous homes from the [[file:tij1o/Griffin_Home.jpg|Family Guy]] or the [[file:tij1o/simpsonshouse12.gif|Simpsons]]
 * Try modelling this [[file:tij1o/Cabinet.jpg|Cabinet]] or these [[file:tij1o/Speakers.jpg|Speakers and Table]]




 * Exercise TWO - model YOUR home**
 * 1) Locate and import a picture of your (or any) house into Sketchup suing GoogleMaps and Streetview
 * 2) You can take a copy of your screen with [ALT] [ Print Screen] and paste it into Photoshop to save it as a JPG
 * 3) Use the appropriate tools in Sketchup to create a reasonably accurate scale model
 * 4) When you import the JPG into Sketchup, you can specify that it is to be used as a "Matched Photo"
 * 5) Project the textures onto the sides of your house


 * Exercise THREE**
 * Use TWO pictures to model your house - locate a house in a new building development with two clear views covering at least three faces of the house (ideally 4)
 * Create the first matched view and the basic model, then rotate the model to approximate the NEXT view, and create a NEW matched photo there.
 * Use the detail from BOTH views to more completely model and texture the house. Remember that you can select the surfaces you project the textures on them to be more selecting


 * Exercise FOUR**
 * Recreate 3 to 5 houses in your neighbourhood
 * Place those houses on a Google Map
 * Choose an object or building that you can model by taking digital pictures
 * Model the object using Match Photo
 * Capture the appropriate views that can be later projected onto the object
