How can one use Google Earth for terrain?

Outside of this: http://www.3dnemo.com/031_G_to_U.html

Which I find amazingly confusing,

Anyone know of any other way to import terrains to Unity from Google Earth?

Thanks a ton, I just wish I could import the terrain from Google Earth or such programs to ease the terrain construction as I want it to be accurate.

That being said I really thank you for everything.

Hey everyone, first of all thanks for checking out this post. I am interested in using Unity to recreate an historic lumber community that existed in the early 1900's in Ontario Canada. That being said I need lots of advice and guidance and am interested in anyone who wants to help out with this pro...

Where did you obtain the skybox you're using? Perhaps even doing the trick Star Trek Online uses with the colour trails behind the ship to show movement might work too? Love to see your progress...keep me in the loop!

Actually both ideas are great. Is there a tutorial on the "hyperspace" particle system to allow to make a space scene? The skybox idea also is great! Thanks for the input everyone!

Is there a way to generate particles in a fashon to simulate stars?

How are people making stars using Unity 3d? What I mean is what system are they using to generate stars passing your ship to simulate movement within the universe?

Any help would be appreciated.

As a real life police officer I can attest to the above comments. Isn't hard guys trust me.

Like to keep this thread rolling as I'm interested as well in this
