These areas are so tiny I had to search and zoom in to find them - surely people viewing your robot will not notice these very minor imperfections ?
If you insist on 'pointless perfection' then why can't you re-texture those like you did for the forehead ?
I didn't make these. Lol the ones I make are a WHOLE LOT better but I never got into uv mapping before so I cannot. I need to have these imported properly in order to do work with them.

You robot is lying on his back whilst floating in the air
It's pretty well textured considering some messes that can happen with UV mapping imports!
If you edit the group containing the head and switch on view > hidden geometry and take a sample [materials > eyedropper] from a nearby part that's textured correctly then just paint the faulty forehead etc it's easily fixed... switch off hidden geometry to see a smoothed result again
Thanks =p but now there is also the problem with other areas like that, I tried doing the same for them but it doesn't work out so well for them. It sucks but im really giving up on this sketchup import and I really don't want to.

I was gonna suggest DE but you already tried it.
I'd personally just sample from next to the wrong texture and paint it correctly in SU.
I have never had bad UV's with DE before, so if you wanna upload the model I'll give it a try.
no problem BTW I was kinda lazy with my 3d program so I left the model kinda offset from the xyz plane.
I have a few hundred other models I have to export as well I don't want to have this problem with every one of them. Any help is appreciated.
Hello, im trying to export a 3d model with the UV coords to sketchup, I have tried a few things but every single time sketchup loads it like this
when it should be like this
I tried using my programs sketchup export function I am using deep exploration 6.3 BTW
I have tried importing via every file type sketchup can import with. Nothing works it keeps loosing its texture coord on its forehead and a few other places.
I don't know what else to do, in my 3d program it doesn't loose the texture coord, just when I load up sketchup. I also have tried using 3ds export functions and they didn't work either.
Is there some setting I can change to fix it?
Heres my finished ground gundam, I might put a little bit more work into it but I dont think its anything worth noting.

thanks but thats weird when I originally posted the picture it was lighter
Decided to do a render myself, 25 minutes with keyshot
I first got the idea a while back when I was using MS paint, imagine painting on materials or textures to easly color 3d in sketchup.
Heres an example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzb0bO4xn_Q
Obviously it wont be this complex but it would be a worthy plugin.
These are still Work in progress none of them are complete
First, this is an older work that I decided to bring back, I believe it has much more potential I just need to work on it more
"NT-1 Alex"
Heres is my favorite project because everything I did with it just worked out perfectly and it looks amazing I am going to be finishing this one soon, I dont have many recent shots of it so heres 2 older shots
"RX-79G"
and a recent one here
This happens to be my newest project with all its comedic work completed its at 95% completion and should be done right after I finish the RX-79G
"RGM-79"
Lately I been just playing around with sketchup I really wanted to do something for my favorite video game character so I wiped this up it actually only took an hour to create though I think of it as great work
Last but not least heres an older work I did in sketchup, I bought Logitech speakers and I thought that it would be cool to improve on the idea so this is what came to mind
I am really bad at texturing but on the other side I am really good at photoshop and the Bamboo pad. Since I basically given up 100% on UV unwrapping I found out another way "10X easier way" BUT unfortunately I cant figure out how to make it work.
Basically its to paint over the 3d. I cant find the plugin anywhere and I dunno how to make it work in photoshop. IF it were possible I would like to use my bamboo pad but beggars cant be choosers. Please if you can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

OH PLEASE on everything that is holey can you make a modern version of this car

the 1969 GTO
I love that mustang concept.Uhmm Blah that's not a mustang ...that's in fact a 1969 Pontiac(God rest its soul) GTO.
ya know what I can see the resemblance but it looks more like one of the new mustangs to me more then I would think of the 69 GTO Thats only my opinion though.

Finished them
If these were real I probably would buy them.
This isn't exactly the exact same thing as the Logitec X-530 but a redesign I decided to do. I think it came out pretty well and I do plan on doing all the speakers soon. For now heres what I can show, hope you all enjoy.

NEAT-O I wish I knew how to make light travel that far in Hypershot.

is there way to make textures for 3d models in Photoshop? I always thought how much better I could make textures if I didn't have to UV map them.
is anyone going to answer that question? I kinda been looking forward to an answer.

Presenting the Reized 2500
What do you think?
OMG please I have to render that car I swear I wont steal your work I just love that car too much.
well I was also watching the new naruto episodes I missed =X it did take me 7 hours to make but this took me 2 days to make
So I would guess I am pretty quick.

This is going to sound so bitchy... Why did that take you 7 hours?
I altered the sides of the shield to that they would be kinda odd but in a good way, they aren't round but kinda weird. its kinda hard to notice but this shield is a great shape its not straight. I doubt anyone could have done it faster then I did and I am a fast sketchup artist.
As you can see in the pics I didn't just use the push/pull tool but I refined the mesh afterwards so that it could remain the basic shape. Kinda like the edge of a nice new car by the wheel well.
I didn't expect this to come out as exceptional well as it did, everything just kept going right with this build also I tried to keep it low poly though its still pretty detailed and the curves are pretty good as well.
Heres some images
Total build time is about 7 hours. I will render it later gotta go to sleep for work tomorrow. I know its not the most detailed thing I modeled but I am happy with it.
