hello ummm i need a lot of help,obviously so ill get right to it.
i am unable to add unique textures to bended surfaces,i can make unique textures for plain flat surfaces but not for those beded,so how can i make unique textures for bended surfaces?

i dont know a lot about sketchup so is there a plugin with which i can make spheres? and/or curved lines? but please is there a simple tool for that? and i want only to make the basic spheres noting too fancy.

thanks u for your help.

thanks u werry much,now i see how stupid i am

hi i will be quick so i dont make any grammar mistakes .So i want to make a wallpaper in skecthup,which i did.But the only problem is how to capture that image from that certain angle,cuase as far as i know i use the "print screen"button,which with editing i get a small picture of the thing i actualy wanted to capture.So is there a tool/plugin for that? that i capture the screen,i mean the image from that angle and that it is about 1024x780 or something close to that.

.Thanks u for your help.

oh okay,well maybe ill keep it this ways it looks good like this too

My first time that i actulay show something here ...well i am a newbie,but im trying my best! so any critics are welcome.

Here is it.Its supose to be a mecha sword.And the blocks u see under the sword model is a rought model of the arm....just so i can have any thing to compare with.And the 2 blue lines at the back should be glowing,dut i dont know how to do that.And all the blue around the sword should be glowing too.
and i tried different styles.

so...please comment,and say how i could improve it

And im doing the sword when closed,shrunken into the shell on the arm.

YES! Thats exactely what i waned! thank u so much! ...but...which one of this is good? and what do u get with payed that isnt in free?

i have tried the unfolt tool and thanks for the link but thats not what i wanted.I want for it to look like this:

this is how it looks,on the left is the model and on the right is the texture image.

and this is what i want to do.Every texture image is for the entire component,so this is how i want to be in SU,so is it posible? to be similar like this?

I want to make pixel textures so its small,really small texture image.So i want the image for the texture to be in .png format so every pixel on the image could be seen clearly not blured like .jpeg format that the SU creates,and i meant is there a way that just one image could be a texture image for multiple surfaces that are together. (like on the image above)One image where there is multimple surfaces/sides that it covers.
can u understand now?

i need help about the textures.I make my model or however u call it and its made out of multiple groups and i dont know how to add textures in .png format.I want it to be like this:

a image including every face of the component and that i edit that image in png format.So do i need any plugin to save and use textures in .png format and,when i press the "edit textured image" button it opens the image in ACDsee and i want to open it in a different image editing software.
so please help.
thanks.
