Creating and Saving Materials into Library
-
Hi everybody :
How to save materials, from my pictures folder ( .jpeg format), and then save them into the SU 8 Materials folder. I tried to save a .jpeg I used in a project, but, when I went to check in the MATERIALS Folder (within SU 8 Prorgram Folders), it wasn't there. I'm pretty sure, in the Materials Tool, I clicked on IN MODEL, selected the Material I just imported (using the Browse button), and clicked on SAVE. The dialog box popped up. I went to the Program Folders/Google/SketuchUp 8/Materials/Carpet and Textiles. I'm pretty sure the format was already selected (.skm). But, after closing SU 8, I went into the Materials Folder, and didn't see the "saved" Material listed. It's obvious I did something wrong........but I don't know what. garystan -

Rich's tutorial is excellent and it'll get you on your way. I do the first part a little differently when I create new textures. I create faces in the model on which to paint the images. Then I import the images with File>Import and paint them onto those faces. My textures are almost never square images. I know lengths of them but the widths are generally arbitrary so the rectangles I draw are to the lengths of the textures but random in width. I wind up with something like this in the model.
After the textures are in the model I save them by dragging the thumbnails from In Model to a destination library as Rich showed.
