      I just saw your exporters and try them out. Your work is amazing! I been looking for a obj exporter from SU and yours works like a charm!!!! Tanks!
      I model both in SU and Blender, but there was no direct way to export a model from the free version of SU to Blender. I always use the SU2KT plugin to export to Kerkythea XML file and then use the program Kt2Obj (http://www.nicetuna.com/kt2obj) to transform the Xml to Obj and open the obj in Blender.
      If you don´t mind I ill post on the blender forum a link to your plugin, because there are a lot of Blender user's that will find your plug-in very useful.
      The Luxrender plug-in is very good as well, but is a pity there is no material editor in it. There are attempt's to get a working SU plug-in in the Luxrender forums but the development is very slow, maybe you could give them a hand. Your plug-in is already better that them.

          Blender imports COLLADA with no problem but I never could get the export from SU to work. It always freezes and doesn't export's a DAE file. Maybe is just me I don´t now.

            Hi!

            I made exporter for vidro render.
            http://onigiriburning.so.land.to/
            The explanation about my exporter named "SU2OBJMTL" is not good because I am not good at English.
            if you interested this , please try "SU2OBJMTL".

            Thanks.

            Nice. This would need a own topic (if not exist yet). 😍

              Hi,
              @ tak2hata: are you aware of this: http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/RubyLibraryDepot/plugin_details.php?id=427
              Maybe it could be of some use for your sunflow exporter.
              Regards,

                Hi, Dider Bur.
                It was your su2sf.rb to refer most when I began to study Ruby first.
                That is very useful!
                The method of getting mesh infomation from sketchup were learnt by enjoying su2sf.rb with Sketchup API Reference in my hand.
                Finally, I tried to make exporter to Vidro Renderer for study, and to bring it together as exporter to general-purpose OBJ file afterwards.

                Sketchup obj exporter is already exists in this forum.It made by TIG.
                I think that making the topic for my exporter confuses this forum.
                So I arranged my su2objmtl on my site without contributing here.

                Best Regards!

                    If you copy both "su2objmtl.rb" and ""su2objmtl_vidro.rb" in your sketchup plugins folder,
                    You will find "Vidro render exporter" in sketchup plugins menu bar.
                    Select "export setting" and show webdialog for Vidro render exporter.
                    Firstly click "EXPORT!" button.
                    Asking dialog to find path of vidro.exe.
                    Select vidro.exe ,then start rendering.
                    If you miss selecting path, "Select path" button in the webdialog helps you.

                    Thanks.
