Thx!
Unfortunally, i don't have a 3D Max license. I was hoping that there was a way to convert obj files to skp without the use of 3D Max. I downloaded a trial Simlab Composer. So far, the textures didn't come trhough... I hope that i can make it work.

@Box: i need a 3D model of a technics record player. Unfortunally, i can't find any in SketchUp format...

@Pixero: Currently i'm using Rhino to import .OBJ files and export .SKP files. This isn't working well. The textures are always lost (during conversion?) How does it go with simlab composer? Does it work well?

Thx

Hey,

Is here anyone who knows a service or a drafter who can convert 3D Max files to workable SketchUp files? There are many and good 3D Max models and scenes on the internet. Unfortunately, I do not find any suitable SketchUp models. I tried with .obj and .fbx files, but I always had problems with the textures. I'm looking for a way so i can use any 3D model that i can find... Thanks!

Very good information! Thanks! I gonna try the plugin...

Ok, thanks for the answers! I hoped i could make it happen outside SketchUp. It's a lot of work when you have hundred's of materials...

Does anybody know how i can convert (jpg) textures to SKM Files, so i can build my own library inside SketchUp? It would be faster and more easy to texture my model. I hope it's possible...

I use Adobe Bridge at the moment. It works fine too.

Ok.

Thanx for your reply...

Hi,

I'm looking for a good way to manage my files I use for rendering.
Currently, I make screenshots and print them out so I can work quickly.
But, this system is not so flexible and it costs me a lot of effort.
I tried Adobe bridge, but it can not preview a lot of file types.
The most common file types I use are:
JPG, PNG, PSD, SKP, 3DS, OBJ, HDR, DWG,...
Does anyone have any experience with managing a library?
Or have any suggestions?

Thanx,
Roel
