Hello Lasse.

I started modelling just to try the Building Maker tool and found it fantastic. From simple models like the building where I live, I evolved to complex models with many polygons, then moved to other countries. I spent all my spare time in this "hobby".

When Google announces it's plan, it was very frustrating. I was thinking about a small bussiness with this technology in the local market, so I immediately quit the idea... and stopped modelling for a while, to see what would happen since then. As you might suppose, my gallery got frozen, forever.

I hoped that new Google tech would introduce a better experience in Earth, but I'm still dissapointed with the results. They got almost unlimited help to create the 3D representation of our world for the price of some mugs.

What gift would I send to Google? Maybe a very flat or melted down version of the mug I received from them. Or a mug with some of the nice images published in <http://www.postcards-from-google-earth.com/>. BTW, these are jokes, nobody forced me to create 3D models... I guess I did those just to increase my own ego.

I moved to Waze community, but as it was acquired by Google, I'm not sure how many effort should I make now... lack of certainty. Of course, if Google contact me to hire me, I would accept ;-)

Please, I want to know how your project ends. Keep me up to date.
