TreeSketch 2 for iPad [Free]
-
David can you share your technique after export?
-
I converted the FBX to .obj and using File>Merge I imported the tree into Thea. I then applied a stock bark material to the trunk and branches and for the leaves I added a leaf texture to the Diffuse & Translucent material slots (plus a clipping mask) - I didn't change anything else.
I've just tried importing into Sketchup and both .obj and .dxf result in bug splats. DAE works just fine, but the tree used in my render is 75MB, so it looks like I won't be able to upload anything to the 3D Warehouse. On top of that I don't much fancy texturing each individual leaf
-
Does Thea not import FBX?
-
Doesn't look like it - unless you know something I don't
-
Well, if Ioannis can add .fbx import then there'll be a forest on the forums in no time
-
I have never tried, I'll mention it on beta forum, hopefully we can get something organised.
-
For a second there I thought that you were talking from experience and that FBX import was a new feature of the next Thea build.

SimLab have an FBX importer for Sketchup - but at $99... http://www.simlab-soft.com/3d-plugins/FBX_Importer_For_Sketchup-main.aspx
OR you could download one of AutoDesk's free FBX converters [various versions and OS's]

Oh, good news.
-
That'll definitely make life easier

I've been playing with TreeSketch 2.0 and it's really amazing. Too bad the output is in .fbx and, apparently, the leaves do not have any geometry.
Still: Great fun! -
Have you tried using the Autodesk FBX converter TIG suggested?
