Thanks man

mfg busfreak

Would a moderator/administrator please move this to "Tutorials"

It is moved... thank you for this tutorial - it seems like some people like sketchup, so it will be helpful for these people!

Yes indeed, with an architectural background I much prefer SketchUp. This is very useful indeed, many thanks. All English language tutorials very much appreciated!

Can someone please translate this list into German?

No Google Translate please, it isn't accurate

1. Welcome to the SketchUp to Blender Tutorial


In the next several pages, this Adobe PDF will be instructing on how to
successfully import your Google SketchUp model into Blender. Both of these
programs are free of charge, which therefore constitute them as great programs
for modeling. However, Blender is more versatile and can carry out more
functions, whilst Google SketchUp cannot. On the positive side, you can import your
Google SketchUp models into Blender and refine them.

The following programs were used to make the tutorial

Google SketchUp 7
Blender Foundation
Adobe Photoshop CS3
Paint.NET

Auf den nachfolgenden Seiten wird dir mit Hilfe dieses PDF Dokuments erläutert, wie du dein Google SketchUp Modell erfolgreich in Blender importierst. Die beiden genannten Programme sind kostenfrei und daher hervorragend zum Modellieren geeignet. Dabei ist Blender umfangreicher und bringt mehr Funktionen mit sich als Google SketchUp.
Es bietet bietet sich folglich an, Modelle aus Google SketchUp in Blender zu importieren und dort zu überarbeiten.

This is a special blender question you should find it on a blender site.

I think each Blender requires a special version of python.
So you have to find your version and install it on drive C:\pythonXX (with XX as version numer), i think.

ok you were right..I found it in a blender Forum
thanks for the tip ^^

now i have two other problems, but I think I'll resolve them too

Hello,

Each Version of blender requires a special version of python. I think Blender 2.49 requires python 2.6 (not sure). You also have to install it to a special folder, 'cause otherwise blender won't find it. Folder was e.g. C:\python26\

Probably you can find your solution in a blender forum.

Deutsch:

1. baue dein modell und textur mit sketchup
2. benutzte den lwo-exporter
3. lwo in blender importieren
4. dann als .x exportieren

fertig

dann nur noch ins spiel bringen als .x oder .o3d

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

english:

1. build your model and texture with sketchup
2. used the lwo-exporter
3. lwo import into blender
4. then export as .x

finished

then bring into play only as a .x or .o3d
