You can use Sketchup to create blockland models?

You can't use Sketchup for map making

To make a map, you need to have the Mission Editor, Torque Constructor, and the intelligence to know what you're doing.

Orly? I've done it.

You can go from Sketchup to Blender to Torque Constructor.

That's a second way of doing it. :P

It is hypothetically possible to draw a vector drawing in inkscape, export them as a dxf file, load them in AutoCAD, turbocad, etc, export as a dwg, import into sketchup (dxf might go straight in as well, I can't remember), make a 3D model, load it in quark, export to map, import to constructor, export to dif, and load in Blockland.

In fact, you can take a sketch on paper, scan it, convert it to a vector format, and end up with a working map at the end of the day.

O.o Are all of those programs free? I have some map sketches.
