Sketchup Web Exporter

For individual images, that would work great....
But with the web exporter, there can be 30 or so images per object. I am creating a web gallery with a lot of objects, so that will require a lot of time. Is there a program out there that can delete the distinctive colors out of the background automatically on a large group of images?

I think you can export pngs with a transparent background using the mac version of SU, so if you could get hold of a mac that would probably be the easiest thing to do.

I have one, but the exporter only works for Windows.....

You can do this in photoshop using actions. Open one of your images, record your action where you do the select by color, delete background, save as png, save your action. Put all the images you want to do this to in one folder. In photoshop, file>automate>batch, load your action, pick the folder of images, and a destination folder for your png, let potoshop do all the work.

There might be other scripts etc too
Photoshop probably has similar things too...
There are lots of batch image apps out there some are free, some are shareware...
xnView is free and this allows you to script it to batch process lots of files etc...

You can certainly change a png to have transparency - you might need to think about the color to replace...
It makes a .bat file that when run processes the selected pngs... -

The download link is here, but the plugin is for version 6 and hasn't been maintained for recent versions. t might work with Version 8, or it might not.
