Author Topic: Can I make models in Google Sketchup and use them? (Read 1187 times)

I'm pretty good at modeling in Sketchup and I was wondering if it was possible to use Sketchup to model weapons, ect.? If so, would anyone be willing to code it for me?

Sure. I could make a couple weapons or such. I have a bunch of sound files.

So i make the models and you can code them? Also how do i export a .skp to .dts?

Well, what you would have to do is export it as a certain file type, import it to a better program like Milkshape 3D, add joints, good colors, modify size and perfect it. I could help. Can you remind me what it can export into?

I don't think it's possible to use Sketchup for modeling. Blender, no the other hand, is good too ;D

You can, but you'll have to tune it up with another program to get it working in Blockland.

Ok thanks guys. Any idea of what software i should "Tune it up with"?

Blender and/or Milkshape3D.

Sorry for the bump in advance.

How much do these cost and how easy is it to learn them?

There is an easier way.

If you get the full version of Sketchup (Not the google version) then you can export directly to .3DS format. Obviously textures and such won't transfer, but the mesh will. There is a 480 hour trial available if you can't afford it. Just dig through the site.

Then you can import that .3DS mesh directly in Milkshape3D and add bones, textures, fix smoothing groups, etc.

Sketchup-->export to .3DS--->import into MS3D--->export to .dts
