        I've tried to import an OBJ file in all OBJ importers I could find, and also tested in other apps like Blender or Rhino and I can't get the texture mapped ok.

        When I use the model inside the rendering app based on libgdx, it appears fine, at least the top of it.

        Anyone knows why the ship.obj file doesn't look ok in sketchup?

        This is how the model should look like:

          I don't know why the UV mapping is messed up in this case...
          BUT it is fixable. πŸ˜„
          Import the OBJ and the UV mapping is rubbish...
          Now edit the 'ship' Material [oddly named 'cube1_auv' !] - edit its image ship.PNG.
          In Gimp [or PS] - rotate it 180 degrees and then flip it - see the thumbnail in the Materials Browser screen-shot, compared to the original ship.PNG [which I've also attached]...
          Save/close the image and the Material updates - the UV mapping is now corrected... πŸ€“

            Thanks, now I have to figure out a way to batch process the images I assume to convert from Sketchup to my LibGDX obj scene loader.

              You could rotate 180 and then flip the PNG images using Gimp or PS, before the OBJ import...
              There are batch plugins for Gimp to let you do this, en mass...
              See Gimp's BIMP http://alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/

                  When ever I install the new FluidImporter 2 for SketchUp 2015 64bit - OSX my sketchup will crash on start up. Placing the .plugin file in the package contents only causes it crash when I go to select file>import. If anyone has any ideas or more info please let me know.

                    How do I install the plugin without running the executable? I extracted all the files using Uniextract, but now what?

                      What's the purpose of not using the .exe?

                      Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–
