MotorSketch 2 - SketchUp game
-
This is an arcadey off-road racer, built and running entirely in SketchUp, using SketchyPhysics RC1 with alot of scripting on the side
Features include three path-following AI vehicles, a scripted camera rig, boost, a working HUD, and, of course, a great big track for the race to take place on
If you'd like to check out the full model, download at: http://www.timacheson.com/SkyDrive/DirectLinkRedirect?pageUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fcid-414bedf92f9630f7.skydrive.live.com%2Fself.aspx%2F.Public%2FMotorsketch%25202%2520-%2520SketchGod%2520Mesa%2520-%2520RACE.skp, and, if you have SP3 RC1, you can have a quick race yourself (Download link is to SkyDrive, using Tim Acheson's redirect)The game has been finished for a while now, and I've actually begun work on a second track that absolutely dwarves this one, and started a small competition to create a third (if anyone's interested

Hey that's cool! Great job. I'll check out the racing when I get a chance.

Thanks
These are the original, unmodified, low-ish poly vehicles. The larger red one is more detailed, since it was built to be the player's vehicle, although I eventually removed the interior for the game:

Does this need a 3D graphics card?
-
if normal sketchup works, then so does this
-
It might look a little different to how SketchUp looks normally, but it runs directly in SketchUp's viewport, so you just need SketchyPhysics 3. A 3D graphics card would increase performance, just like it would for normal SketchUp use, but I guess it'd run without one (I've never tried). The download isn't an installer or anything, it's literally just a SketchUp model.

How do you get a score rig? I want to include a scoring and goals system for my own game, Sketchlord 2, but i don't know how to. Could you give me a tutorial?

Oh dear, I leave the SketchUp community for a while, come back, and find this... Why did I ever leave?
Truly this is very impressive, I've never seen anything like this in SketchUp before, I'm also amazed at how well it runs, truly impressive.
