Google sketchup import

[Thetruemonty]

How exactly do you import a model from google sketchup to make usable in the G.E.C.K? I would like to have a musket but no one has made a musket mod, So I figured I'd make my own and import it, I wouldnt release it but I want for my own personal use, So any ideas?

google sketchup is not supported by niftools.

 

You should get blender and use that excellent free program.

Blender 2.49b

http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/

 

Since you seem to have already created something with sketchup, you will want to export that as obj and then import to blender.

 

unfortunately you need to pay money to get google sketchup pro. Maybe its just more worthwhile to start using blender instead, cause i seriously doubt you will want to use sketchup anymore.

 

Go also to this site to get other great tools that you will need to

http://niftools.sourceforge.net/forum/

PyFFI 2.0.2

blender nifscripts 2.4.10

Nifskope 1.0.20

 

To make all this stuff work you also need to get python 2.6

And you probably need to spend some time learning how to use all this stuff so have a look at some of the forum sticky threads for tutorials and stuff.

Blender is FREEEEEE!!!!

 

you dont have to buy anything extra to mod.

 

You can even use gimp with dds and normalmap plugin to make textures and thats also free.

 

only thing that its going to cost you is time and effort.
