    • Is it possible to re-texture models?

      Hello All,

      Okay so does anyone know of a way to reset a 3d models uv map and then use a skin from an FSX model to re-texture/re-skin your obj models

      As I have found a Blue Angels skin for the f-18e, and would like to re-texture a few f-18e models? And then bring them into Pepakura 6.0.6.

      I know that sketchup has a few texture resizing extensions but I havenโ€™t tried them yet, as I am hoping there is an easier way then converting everything over and over. - Cheers!

      @samuel_t Hello Sam, this is a great extension, thank you. But it does not seem to support .blend files, very well. Is there a fix?

      Cheers!

      Hello Fredo,

      Can you please tell me which version of round corner should I use? As I have SU2017 Make (Free), and am using round corners, and now, I see there are two corners plugins.

      What are the difference, between these two rbz files?

    • RE: [Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.6 - 30 July 2024

      Hello Sam,

      Is there a recommended way to get the most out of your model as you reduce its poly count, I mean I keep getting wild responses. I have tried 20/50/70% etc... and my models look like crap up, not at all like your deer example. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

      Should I break down the model into groups and reduce each group at the same settings??? I hope I am making sense!

      Cheers Sam. ๐Ÿ˜„

      Hello Samuel.

      I'm sorry but I am having another issue with your importer and need your advice, I recently bought some models from Turbosquid and downloaded/saved them as obj files which thankfully I can convert them over with your wonderful extension; however when I try to convert the models your extension seems to only use some textures and not all of them. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

      So should/can I upload the mtl files when I am converting these models? ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      Cheers Mate

    • Import/edit/use images in SU2017

      Hello All,

      Sorry if this has been addressed before, as I am looking for the best way to import/edit and use images for SU2017; I realize 2017 is getting old fast but I can not afford the newer versions and their endless subscriptions.

      Anyway the image I would like to use is a 1/32" Decal sheet for an F-14 Tomcat model, I am hoping to trace over the image and then use created faces as stampers as they use to call them. I can then change the aircraft's livery to other squadrons.

      So are there any tutorials, extensions, of other tips and advise you guys and gals can give me to make this possible. I know it is but I am just not that learned on SU as my crazy life doesn't allow me the time to learn more right now.

      Please see the attached image, as I would like to trace out/use everything in the photo. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      Cheers to All!

      Hello Samuel,

      Were we able to find out anything on this model? or do I need to download something similar and try that route?

      Hello Samuel,

      Here is the link to the Panther, and no I haven't tried your extension on any other model as of yet as I was immersed in this model at the time of my postings; but I will try it again soon.

      Cheers Mate! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    • RE: [Plugin] Universal Importer - v1.2.6 - 30 July 2024

      Hello Samuel/folks,

      It appears that I am having the same issue with converting models, I looked at previous posts but still can't make sense of it all; as the file I downloaded from the warehouse was a 2017skp I tried to reduce the size but kept getting the same error messages as above.

      I then exported the original skp file to 3ds and tried it again and got the same error message, as it looks like UI is still looking at this file as an obj and not a 3ds import. Is there a video/fix to this ongoing issue or am I just missing something!? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ˜•

      Cheers! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

      I installed your latest release on sketchupmake2017 and can not use it as it is unsigned...

      Unsigned does not make it unusable unless you set the loading policy to prevent it.

      Please update your profile. It says you are using Sketchup 8.

      Thank you for your reply, however, I do I know or turn off this loading policy? So I won't have any issues?? And I have updated my profile, thank you!
