    thanks for the fix, but in the meantime i also found the plugin TIG linked, so it's settled...

    i might download the new version of this plugin, just to see the difference in source code; might come handy 😄

    I'm using SketchUp 2017, V-Ray 3.4

      Hello, I am new to sketchup and I am trying to use the program to create 3D models for a game. The issue I am having is when I export the model into Torque. We see all the colors I have applied but as for textures, they are all gone. Is there a way to change this outcome? 😄

        What format are you exporting to?

          hi Al Hart, i would love if you change your plugin by reading the color name and than naming the textures. this would be cool

          thank you

            Would you like to rename color only materials in SketchUp (not materials with textures) so the name matches the color (eg. RGB 255,0,0 becomes red), for common colors and the hex color for non-standard colors (e.g. RGB 100,200,100 becomes #64c864)

            One "problem" we found recently is that people don't call RGB 0,255,0 green - but rather call it lime- and call 0,128,0 green

            as in this chart:

              or did you mean that you wanted to rename the material itself to match the texture name included in the material?

                or did you want to automatically rename the textures stored in the material to match the name of the material itself.

                This gets tricky because the SketchUp material can have names like: a'b/c, while a'b/c would not be a legal name for the texture itself.

                  Al sorry for my very late answer.

                  1. about Lime RGB 0 255 0

                  in the RAL Colorchart you have not a color with this Name and RGB value.

                  look here

                  Link Preview Image
                  RAL Color Chart | www.RALcolor.com

                  RAL color RAL colour RAL number RAL chart

                  favicon

                  (www.ralcolor.com)

                  standard colors Like RAL, HKS, PANTONE etc. is based on the subtractive color scheme (body colors) when you have "RGB" (normally additive color scheme) and add al three together you have black as result.

                  additive color scheme https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_Farbmischung

                  result is white (light colors)

                  the RGB Value is only an orientation and the name of the color is an orientation ,too. some peoples can memorize names better than digits or numbers and vice versa.

                  1. i would have this:

                  at (1) this name as image name, too in field (2)

                  actually the plugin doesn´t work with the last sketchup make, or i doing anithing wrong.

                  Snap_2015.10.13_22h50m47s_001_Materials.png

                  i have attache the skp file.. the object was created with eneroth extract material.

                  the color itself was created with a CSV-import-plugin.

                  sorry again for the late answer.

                  best regards Dean

                    Hi writers and devs in this thread.
                    Just 4 years later I found this! 😄

                    I am looking for an exporter that can export (to .png) "whatever" colors or material used in SketchUp into 1 file, and so that it can be used in an OBJ file.

                    In fact, something similar to what Blender can do ( Blender call it "bake" or "baking")
                    is this possible, does something similar already exist, or.. would someone do it? 😄

                    Regards
