03/29/2008 New version 1.3.0
The project was migrated to lazarus. now a linux version is released. Mac os version will be released soon. Mayor performance upgrade. Now is posible to make 2048x2048 pixl res photos.
If you use G Maps Image downloader to get Photoreal textures, and PhotoSceneryX to build Photoreal scenery it into X-Plane, you will find this tool i wrote very usefull. Its called G_IMAGE_X.
G Maps Image downloader outputs the images in 256x256 pixeles, named in a non usefull way. G_IMAGE_X takes 16 by 16 or 64 by 64 and builds a big 1024x1024 or 2048x2048 texture, named to be use later with PhotoSceneryX . Also G_IMAGE_X changes the image format into PNG, or DDS (supported in X-Plane 9) compresed with DTX1, DTX3, or DTX5. In that case G_IMAGE_X also creates the MIPMAPS for each texture.
So you get all the textures ready to use with PhotoSceneryX. You will never have to build manualy each photo and name it again!. This software saves a lot of
time developing a scenery.
Just set the path were the Google Maps images are located. The input file format should be JPG. Choose the output file format, if you choose DTX1, DTX3, or DTX5 select if you whant G_IMAGE_X to make MIPMAPS for each photo. (size will be incremented in aprox 2/3 of the original size).
