Mrmisquito Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Can i use Google Sketch Up to make models for parts? I saw you could on Cry Engine 3, and was wondering if you can on KSP. I tried blender once, but it was too hard, and i know how to use sketch up. If it doesn\'t work, and there\'s another simple one like it to use, please tell me. Thankx ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Skunky Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 SketchUp won\'t work. You would still need to import into Blender for a few things IIRC.Cheers!Capt\'n SkunkyKSP Community Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Blender is a highly confusing, but awesomely powerful modelling program. If you wanna be making parts, just have a look around for some up-to-date tutorials for it. They almost always explain just about everything you need to know. For things specifically KSP (and how to export parts for it, etc), just ask around once you have your models made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Sketch-Up works, but not directly. I recommend getting a .obj exporter where you can export to a modeling program with a UV texture mapping and unwrapping system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try to make my first mod as just a small little 1 Meter fuel tank to see if I can do it. Once I\'ve made the model, how do I texture, import into KSP and give it part parameters?
