Hi, storiesdialogues

We have tested the model by the following steps...
Download .skp > import to SketchUp Pro > Export to .3ds > import 3ds Max

Indeed, the stadium looks not the same as the preview image in Max.
This is because the path to the textures is lost, and you have to rearrange them.

And then, if you have Max, you can export it to iClone through Max plug-in or 3DXchange both.
Let's see if it can solve your problem.

By the way, Reallusion will release 3DXchange 2.0 before Dec.
You can import the models from 3D warehouse directly then.
We have comlete solution for SKP files.

Best wishes
Visconti

Sending you a link via PM of what I have so far. Maybe with a bit of effort you could add the boxes inside iclone using your editor

I opened it in Max as the 3ds you gave.

I can tell you what the problem with the logos is tho. There is a separate folder inside containing those.....copy and paste them into the same folder as your textures and obj and mtl, that will help some

Yep even I had problem with the boxes. But anyways you are getting a better result than mine. Because I wasnt getting the names of 02 which you see at top left corner ans neither I was getting the red cross bars at top of stadium.

Morever are you able to rotate the camera fully and smoothly 360 degrees? Did you export it as a 3D scene from 3ds exchange? Anyways can you send the file to me as an attachment. The final VNS 3d scene file to be used in Iclone. I will use your version. Its ok if the boxes are not there.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Here's a quick pic of what I got into iClone, perhaps you can tell me how it compares to yours.

There seems to be a problem with the boxes.bmp, I don't have time at the moment but I'll play around with it when I get the chance... unless someone else manages to do it sooner for you. The boxes seperate the blue seating areas.

Dear Shy,

Please find my attached file arena. I had created this 3ds and obj from google sketcup following exactly the same instructions mentioned in the tutorials. This file contains all the textures and basically whatever i exported from google sketchup is inside it. If someone cud open this in 3ds exchange and get it to export to iclone.

Also, I've attached a image of the arena, they way it looked in the google sketchup. BUT I'm not getting the exact same look in Iclone. Also there are issues with camera, the camera doesn't move 360 fully if i try to use this as a 3d scene.

No 3DS Max can't open .SKP files directly. The files need to be exported to 3DS or OBJ first before they can be opened in Max.

I don't believe so, I had a look at the link you sent. However, you could export from Sketchup Pro as a 3ds or obj and perhaps someone would try the conversion for you. You would need to supply the textures with this too.

So is it possible to open models from google 3d warehouse in 3DS MAX directly without any need for opening them in google sketchup first?

Sorry..........I don't use Sketchup Pro either, I use 3ds Max.

[quote][b]storiesdialogues (10/19/2007)[/b][hr]Shy,

It's not working. It looks exactly the same result even after keeping the objs and the 3ds files in the same folder. Can somebody find a right way to get the exact same model of hockey stadium from the link i gave to iclone[/quote]

I don't use Sketchup Pro so I can't try the download out but there are a few things worth mentioning.

As Shygirl has already said, what is important is that you have the textures in the correct place for them to show up in 3DXchange. If the textures are not in the correct place (normally the same folder as the .OBJ file) you will get the problems you are having.

If you followed the guidelines from the link I gave above you will have chosen the option to export the materials (textures) which means you should have some .JPG or .BMP files as well as the .3DS or .OBJ. Try putting these together in whatever folder you have exported to and see if that makes a difference.

shy can u try the whole process once and let me know if ur getting good results..

meanwhile i will try to keep the obj etc in same folder before i import to 3ds exchange

RE: Exporting a hockey set from google 3d warehouse

storiesdialogues — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:28:43 GMT

Sorry I didn't get you. The same folder means what? Before I import to 3DS? or before I import to iclone? Also which folder do i need to keep all this? Somewhere inside 3ds folder?

RE: Exporting a hockey set from google 3d warehouse

shygirl — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 11:22:28 GMT

You need to place the obj and mtl files as well as the textures all in the same folder before importing into 3dxchange, this should give you a good end result.

But all the attributes of the original created 3D MODEL of the stadium are lost. The stadium no longer looks the same if i choose the settings mentioned in the guidelines. The goal post is without a net and the spectator side of the stadium looks black. Even the grass has lots its texture and it looks worst than the 3D model that i had imported from google 3D WAREHOUSE.

Can somebody help me with this. This is the model which I imported from google 3d warehouse.

Hi,

You will need SketchUp Pro to export to .3DS or .OBJ format. The free version doesn't allow this. If you have the Pro version then just export your hockey set using the guidelines from the link below.

Exporting a hockey set from google 3d warehouse

storiesdialogues — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:10:10 GMT

Hi,

I wanted to use a hockey set for a scene which i found in google 3d warehouse. From there I brought it into sketch up and I'm getting a 3d perspective of the scene.

I just wanted to know as to how do i export this whole set of hockey from sketch up to 3ds echange to iclone. I mean i want a 3d perspective , the whole stadium and not just a part of it.

The way the iclone baseball pack where I can navigate through the whole stadiium..very similar to that, I want to be able to navigate through this hockey stadium having a full 360 camera movement. How do i achieve this
