      Hello,

      i'am modelling ships for the computer-game Virtual Sailor.

      For the game i need the model in the *.x-format (directX).

      I'am using the 3DRadexporter-Plugin for this job, but the results are not very good. It has problems to export the textures correctly:

      original texture in Sketchup:

      textures in the game (look at the white of the name and the logo):

      Is there a other plug in or a other way for exporting the skp to x-file?

      Regards
      Christian

          If Jim's solution does not work (as model is large I'm assuming) then upload it and I'll give it a go with a converting tool I have.

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

            Hello & thanks for your answers!

            @ Jim: i tried tis plugin, but it freez for more than an hour. Perhaps my model is to large?

            @solo: Thank you for your offer. I have to convert more than one file. And i'am searching for a method which i can use for my next models...
            Which tool are you using? (i high-end professional toll which costs a lot of money?)

              Hello togehter,

              the problem is still there (Sketchup to x-file)

              I try the following things:

              1.) If i use 3d-Rad-Exporter i get the problem with the textures, have a look:

              http://i44.tinypic.com/b4t91u.jpg

              2.) If i use xExporter i have the same problem like the 3d-Rad-Exporter.

              3.) If i use ZbylsXExporter, the Plugin break down.

              Have anyone a idea? Could it be a general texture-problem of Sketchup, or is it a exportproblem?

              By the way, i'am using Sketchup Make

              Regards
              Christian
