Inspired by what Compans and others have done, I have d/l-ed Google Earth and checked out some close in views of the Stalingrad area. I had in mind making some late fall, early winter landscapes with screen shots from Google earth and PSP7.

Can anyone tell me what the optimum altitude for taking screenshots is? And do you simply take a screenshot and then save it in your graphics program as a .tga?

I am assuming that the best way to make a texture is by using the "background tile" function in PSP or another graphics prog. Can someone correct me if I am mistaken?

How many pixels should the finished product be?

Thanks for any help!
