This has nothing to do with the last post, but, I am trying to create objects using the following method (I don't have Sketchup Pro)
1.Make model in Sketchup
2.Save as .skp
3.Exit Sketchup
4.Open Sketchup>select model
5.File>Export>3D Model
6.Save as .kmz
7.Exit Sketchup
8.Find .kmz file>right click>7 Zip>open archive
9.open model folder>put .dae file in model folder in a place with .skp
10.open fbx converter
11.convert .dae file to .fbx
12.change format to .3ds
13.convert
The .dae file comes with no textures, so the .3ds result doesn't come with textures either. Although I don't think it has anything to do with the converter (Autodesk FBX converter), but it might. I need help getting the texture on it. Any help would be appreciated!
