Have you purchased 3ds? Or is there a way to get it for free. Because I looked at the price and my bank account slapped me in the face.Illegal_Alien wrote:I give up.

Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
To do the exporting to 3dsm, you do need sketchup pro;
Sketchup to blender
Opan; you can use the trial version, or PM me at extremegames and i'll show you what to do, legally.

Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
Ok I don't mean to bump this thread, but I can't get sketchup models into blender. I was on a website that showed me how, but it only works for mac users, which I'm not. Is there another way?

Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
To install the script; unzip the script (Well thats first, just keep the rar open)
Open your Blender folder(Where you installed the program)
There should be only one folder inside that called ".Blender" (Open that)
Inside there is a folder called "Scripts" (Open that)
Now for the extremely hard part... Extract the files inside the rar(That you left open); into the scripts folder.
Then just open the Program "Blender"
And when you click... File-> Import(Or export)-> You will see "Collada 1.4 (.dae)"
------------------
Please note, you may need to update your version of blender to the right one

Ok thanks blenderuser. The problem is that there is no scripts folder in blender. I'll just re-install it. Thanks anyways

Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
Tried making sure you can see hidden files?
Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
No it works now It was just an error when installing.
Although I do have one quick question. I know you've sent me that page on how to get sketchup files into blender but I can't seem to get the kmz file into a zip file. Just putting .zip at the end doesn't do anything and I put it into a rar file and unpacked it and got nothing.

Re: [Discussion] Sketchup, Blender, 3Dmax and other 3D programs
By not googleing "How to render in blender"; and most of all not looking here
You will then have to look at the 4th post in this topic to see the angles the images are taken at; and make a mini clip in blender, but rather then using A LOT of frames, the max frames, would be the max images needed for locomotion; and get either your object, or your camera to move accordingly.
You then need to make the xml (the guts and bones of the object)...

I can't find the exact link, this one is similar. It is not the full tutorial http://www.locomotion-fanpage.net/wbb/i ... eadID=4376
MartinMundorf
-----------------------------
You can make it like me:
1) ScetchUp 6 google download (free of charge)
2) after that the MSTS Plug-in for ScetchUp google downloadhttp://www31.brinkster.com/decapod/sketchup.htm(version 2.0 is the most current)
3) Construct objects
--------------
--------------Okay; still working out what his talking about, but I got an idea to work in, in sketchup
Ill work out more what his saying later.
Attention: If you then 3D objects construct (goes very simply, the program is almost even declared - even I habs understood;))
4) you must make yourself the color textures themselves, google function transform the textures out of ScetchUp not in that after MSTS. That means, you must do handicrafts with paint yourself your own colors:
5.) For example „rot_1" (then define you the R_G_B - values) and store this file then as a png off. These farbdateien may not exceed 128X128 pixel, 64X64 wealth ber perfectly from.
6.) then you generate 2 files
into the file 1, your even generated png (your own palette) come must the file 1 you then in google ScetchUp as a source file for your color textures determine (goes very
simply)
7.) you do not load yourself the "tga tool" down (left have I now unfortunately, might however with something googlen to find its). You require this tool in order to generate out of your PNG files respectively one. ACE file.
8.) The „rot_1.ace" comes then (and all of other ace) in the files 2
9.) if you have an object in ScetchUp ready, would reassure you, that all colors of you yourself would generate textures (the png´s out of Ornder 1) are.
10.) then you export the model as a MSTS model in the files 2! *
11.) also the addition question "Make a. SD - File?" with "yes" confirm - then therein the colors in reference are stored to the MSTS model.
12.) in the file 2 you have then a MSTS model, that then with MSTS2Loco in 136 (or more ...) Gas changed becomes. You know believe the remainder I ... :Zwinkern2:
*Edith lets yet notice in: That transform can a googleScetchUp model into a MSTS File between 2 seconds and 20 minutes!!! last - according to that like many polygons (and/or corners and edges) the object has. Temporarily looks (at least with me) the program so, as would have it suspended itself. Simply wait! One can minimize however the window. Then also another use (z. B. the Web browser) looks "frozen" to be sure also, but if one on this Doppelklickt that runs very normally. Then also other uses can be started (z. B. Locomotion) if the MSTS model is ready, hears is goes one (if one good fortune has;) a dull "ping" -the MSTS model ready (like in the microwave) after that it then further with steps 11.)
Reference
The double convert is over MSTS no king way at itself - however it is simple and functions.
Moreover I receive no liability at your PCs if the way indicated above damages should cause. With me, it functioned in any case.
