Posted July 27, 201114 yr If anyone has the full version, and is willing to convert those annoying SKP files into something useful, I’m more than happy to do a bit of modelling here and there.
July 27, 201114 yr If anyone has the full version, and is willing to convert those annoying SKP files into something useful, I’m more than happy to do a bit of modelling here and there.I've got the full version, but it's useless for doing anything but creating the model. UV mapping and other stuff you still need something like Blender. I'd love to be able to use it to model some things as I am fairly proficient with it. I just haven't used it for making game objects.CheersSkunky
July 28, 201114 yr Ok, well then. Looks like I need to brush up on my SketchUp skills tomorrow and give this a try.Cheers!Skunky
August 30, 201113 yr I downloaded Sketchup 8 (free), and it APPARENTLY includes a .dae exporter. I don't know what to DO with the mesh I make, but I know I can get a .dae file out of it.
November 11, 201113 yr Babel3D website will convert .skp files into formats like .OBJ, .3ds, .FBX, .lwo et al.http://www.babel3d.com/
November 11, 201113 yr You can use Sketchup to model, import and export. There is one downside though. Unless you have the plugins to change the settings, Sketchup will delete/remove textures, resize and change the axis (rotation) of parts. So you may end up with the wrong sizes and no textures.However, you can model in Sketchup and then use Blender or some other program to texture and export back into KSP.
