YouGroove Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I mainly used Blender, than i given a try to Google Sketchup. And yes, i find it incredibly fast to use and make things, like we would be drawing. One point , it is for hard surface things like 3D assets, outdoor buildings etc ... But it is not suited at al for making characters even low poly, because it lacks lot of basic things like : loop cut, Edge/Face loop select etc ... What must be done , is to import your final model to Blender or another program to Merge all Duplicated vetex, caus depending on what you model, you can see different objects Snapped with lot of duplicated vertex. So you welld all into one Object than Merge the vertex. For making outdoor buildings, 3D assets , it is very fast and fun to create with that tool, it can be used to make 3D assets also, it's fun to use.

YouGroove Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 It is possible to use Sketchup basic for BLender ? i don't think ? Caus i find the pro version too much expensive and prefer to keep Blender for modeling even if Sketchup is great !

paramecij Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Try exporting from sketchup as google earth .kmz file, then rename the .kmz to .zip. Inside you should find a collada file which you should be able to import in blender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Simpson Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Sketchup 8 allows export to DAE in the free version.

paramecij Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Even better then! (guess their page is a bit misleading, it only mentions .dae export under pro features) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Simpson Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Oh :S Probably a sneaky tactic to hope people wont notice!
