Tutorial --- End quote --- MAJOR problem with that: .kmz is just a zip with a collada model and all the textures in it for easier uploading. COLLADA is a garbage format with LOTS of bugs and errors and the blender collada importer doesnt work for all models. My set of importers dont work at all. When I DID get one to import (I had to have a friend do it instead with a different install of blender), it had lots of issues. --ALL of the normals were reversed --It was about 10x the size as it was supposed to be --NONE of my tetures or colors worked --The model caused a runtime error crash upon loading up the exported .dts in blockland. I re-exported the same model as a .3ds and re-did the blender work and it was perfectly fine. Its just horrendous. Its wise to stay away from collada altogether. |

I'd rather you learnt using Blender, Zloff. With a bit of SketchUp experience it's not that hard to pick up on Blender. But anyway, you can always export it as a .kmz and then get the .dae collada file from there. However, the model is likely to be messy, meaning you may get lots of strange empty meshes that you won't be able to get rid of, no matter how hard you try. |

I can too. Thing is, it takes longer to make a model with blender than it does with sketchup, and the blender version is typically not as good. Not for me, at least. Which is why I prefer SketchUp. |

Who cares. The point is, my tutorial still works. |
| Zloff:
I tried it, and it works half the time for me. New problem though: I just installed the DTS exporter for Blender, and when I check to see if it's on the exporting list, I find that it is the only thing you can export in. I also found that all of my importers are also gone. I'm wondering if I should reinstall Python, Blender or what. --- Quote from: Zloff on November 27, 2010, 12:48:31 PM ---I also want to know how add nodes to models in Blender... --- End quote --- :c |
