Is there anyone here who uses Google Sketch?
If so, do you know how to make a flat map wrap around a globe?
Thanks
Google Sketch users?

Do you mean google sketch or google earth.
Google Earth will take a flat graphic file and wrap it around the earth on top of the default image.

I had never heard of it. Has anyone used this?
There have been a few people who have experimented with Sketch Up. I don't know if there are any tutorials on it yet, but you could do a search and see.

SeerBlue is a big sketchup user. He created Snapgallows from it. Well actually it was the FHCO's that did it. Heres the thread.

The FHCO's age range was about 3 - 13 so its within anyones grasp to use it.

I use SketchUp quite a bit, mostly for fooling around, designing elaborate towers, and I currently have a town in development...just to see if I could do it (like most of my stuff, it's only half-way done). I could answer some questions but SeerBlue would probably be able to answer all questions since I don't use all of the functions.

I believe the answer is "no"
There is a workaround, however... http://www.barnabu.co.uk/textured-gl...chup-tutorial/
That requires the use of Anim8tor (freeware, windows only)
