Imagine you need to use a SketchUp model in your Blender work, or to generate a SketchUp file directly from inside Blender.

The two professional plugins from SimLab make it easy for users to create bidirectional communication between the two applications to build amazing workflows.

Export SKP models directly from Blender
Import SKP models to Blender

Blender file support is not uniform, some files are supported well, others are not.
When providing those importers, we understand some users will still prefer multiple file conversions or will have no problem with other methods.
But based on our experience some users will appreciate convenient, tested plugins, with a support they can talk to.

If we did not see legit need from some users, we would not develop the plugins, and I understand your point 100%

Interessting. What software did you use?

SimLab VR Studio was used for the VR experience.

Users can join using PC, Mac, Quest, Pico, Android and iOS, mixed devices can be used in the same experience.

Just to clarify, I am part of the SimLab team.

The following video shows how to utilize VR collaboration to create an open house experiences for a SketchUp model, allowing different users to view and provide feedback on the model, and hopefully helping in selling the design before it is constructed.

More info can be found here

SimLab Softteam is glad to announce that SimLab VR plugin for SketchUp is now completely free, because of the generous support of Amazon AWS we can offer users the plugin and the needed cloud services at zero cost.

• Share models with unlimited number of users
• Invite one person in a collaboration session to navigate the model together using mixed devices PC and Android for example, or Mac with Quest, … etc

Shadows can improve visual appearance of 3D models significantly. On low end devices likes Quest (Stand alone), Pico, Android, and iOS, shadow calculation can reduce responsivity of the device, which may affect the quality of the VR experience. That is why shadows are turned off by default on those devices to give the user the ability to run larger VR experiences.

If the user knows models can run fine with shadows on, on those devices, shadow can be enabled by setting shadow quality to high

Note: To have shadows working, make sure to install the latest viewer on your device from the free VR Viewer page
