<![CDATA[Uv map import]]>hey guys,

I would like to import an object modeled in modo included an uv map into sketchup.
What format + settings should I use so sketchup imports the uv map aswell.
I did some research on the web and I found this workflow:

in Modo, export to "Autodesk FBX" format (modo can't export to 3ds).
in the Autodesk FBX converter, convert FBX to 3ds.
import into SU.

I tried it but I can't get the uv map in SU.
anyone who can help me with this?

cheers

I was a bit wrong about OBJ not supporting uv maps.

I'll explain the workflow quickly here for people who are intrested:

  • unwrap your object in Modo.
  • make an texture in gimp/photoshop.
  • apply it in modo.
  • export to OBJ.
  • import in blender.
  • export as 3ds in a different folder with the texture in the same map. Remember 3ds files can only contain 3-5 letters.
  • import into SU
