btw. Google SketchUp 3Dmodels are for nothing.. too low poly, no or very bad textures and are too hard for corversion (Bender + scripts..). Maybe for inspiration

Not all!
Sometimes gets very good!
In any case, some well-suited for mod ... http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... %BA&styp=c

SketchUp is a pain in the ass... if you convert the skp file into 3ds format youll get hell on earth if you want to texture it.
Duno why, but i always got to much areas with over 3 million poly's *wtf* ... yeah my pc crashed in secounds after i imported the file into 3 max

-> suggestions about this problem or a way to solve it?

In few moments...by Right Hemisphere Deep Exploration (CAD Edition) convert for use in any possible 3d formats!
Maya and MAX added in the program by plugins...




For correcting texture i think useful LightUnwrap and other special progs...

what program do you use for convert?

[schneefuchs]

I used SketchUp to save the file in 3d file format and tried several supported file formats like dwg or obj but it got always a way to much poly's.

Ill check SjetchUp the next time maybe there convert options?

@schnee
for SketchUp files dont exist easy way how convert to 3ds but if you export file or download model as .dae (collada) you can import it in 3Dsmax without problems and with normal poly count (without texture coordinates).

if you see this error message in 3Dsmax: "Warning: Meter conversion factor is too small or invalid: 0.01" so only edit *.dae file and edit "<unit name="XY" meter="0.01"/>" to: meter="1"

[JOSS[WildCat]]

I don`t know what U talk about...
I get .skp (ver.6) open in Deep Exploration (5.6 cad edition).





Save as .max.

Open in 3ds Max (ver.7)


Yes, need some correcting, but it converting in a few moments...
