I see tons and tons of 3d character models in google sketchup.

How do i convert them to iclone?

I know about iclone clone bone feature..

But that will take me to break the mesh into peaces..

Invest your pennies in 3dExchange, it is so worth the money.  You can use it to convert 3d warehouse models and many others into iClone.

don't work with characters unless you just want a static prop - iclone characters need rigging and bone structure

what you can do sis convert individual limbs to iclone then assemble them using clonebone

Hi Tkamal you can convert them but not as characters thay dont have the bone structure so you cant apply movement

the problem is they have no rig / bones attached to them, and iclone itself does not have a system that attaches bones to them..they do however, have a system that allows you to attach them to a bone.

the alternative is to rig the character in 3DS Max and use the developer pipeline to send it to iclone , but even then you need to convert the characters from skp to obj first, ( I think the pro sketch up does that ) then rigging is tedious.

OR

download the character in parts and attach it piece by piece like an accessory to the clone bone. I've done it a few times but the fingers alone can take like half a day or more, may be easier with the new gizmo though.
