Excellence is not an act, but a habit.

Ta mate, I am in the UK, I got the MK650 set for £30 from a neighbour. Getting rid of the stuff his now ex did not take with her. Now trying to work out how to get the blue fang bit online.

you can convert SketchUp's SKP files to Blender. You can either use the built-in SKP importer in Blender or export the model from SketchUp in a compatible format like Collada (DAE), OBJ, or FBX, then import that into Blender.

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks!

Thanks Rich, I now do not have to go down that rabbit hole. much appreciated

Fix it as early as possible. Study hard. God bless you.

What's your typical FOV in SketchUp when modelling? That might be throwing you off. I use 35mm in my startup file. But if I'm modelling from reference and use AI to estimate the FOV of the reference image and go from there. Unless the image has explicit camera data I can get from properties.

@panixia Ah yes, I remember the very first days when I changed to Blender; it was so unpredictable (compared to 3Ds Max) that I felt totally disappointed! Later on, I got accustomed to that as well. Maybe the same experience when one starts using ZBrush! Yes, you are right, let's see what will happen by injecting more of AI to our world!

Holy cow that is some impressive work!

Very nice!

@Rich-O-Brien said in Make Unique Texture giving weird results: Are you using the the Yellow pin to skew the image? That's UVW mapping which is not the same as your regular UV mapping which is purely 2D. If you skew an image in SketchUp you can introduce additional UV points so a plane with 4 verts could have 5 points when you view the UVs. [image: 1746549795145-7487ff2a-5f0f-4586-98bc-f32da2c43178-image.png] Hopefully this shows what I mean. I think if this type of mapping is where the issue may lie. Either its the new engine thats flaky or the destination app does not support UVW mapping. I could be wrong.....it has happened before....many many times. I don't use the coloured pins, I used the non "fixed pins". I think I understand how the UV mapping might get messed up when I first make the adjustments, but once the image is in place I simply "Make texture unique" and that used to resolve the issue.

@adinterieur said in simple extension to somehow import scenes in twinmotion: I'm going to have to face the fact i am a goddamn moron... That's something we all struggle with.... welcome to the club

Did you look at VR Sketch? https://vrsketch.eu/ I believe it uses Unity.

Yeah, I needed to approve them. So they are live now... https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?listtype=2&author=1102&category=0 [image: 1746189342300-f1b2dba8-1bef-4018-9918-cfc5d78ba98a-image.png]

Thanks for the super quick replies- its been a while since I installed and totally forgot how to resolve...!!

Thanks for reminding me about copyright Rich. Frenchie could you or somebody else let me know what is the best AI image generator for just changing an image a bit, Just enough to retain the the intent of the reference image. I am thinking that I could use the reference image just enough to stay out of the copyright envelope. Frenchy If you have the time and inclination, I have attached an image would you mind modifying it with AI as an experiment? I would like to know the outcome to get around copyright for the above reason and how this could be achieved.[image: 1746087538173-office-library.jpg] Then i would like to try it for myself
