it needs a little work dont you think

its nice

JHB · « **Reply #2 on:** June 07, 2007, 21:54:43 »

Anyway it's a start

You need to start somewhere - very important step

Captain Davies · « **Reply #3 on:** June 07, 2007, 22:24:47 »

Wow, it's amazing that you managed to get those shapes using SketchUp. But as the others say, will it be compatible with what Vstep needs to put it in the game?

AriesDW · « **Reply #4 on:** June 07, 2007, 22:26:08 »

HOnestly, at the moment, I do not think this program will work with it. What are the file types you can export from this program?

J3nsen · « **Reply #5 on:** June 07, 2007, 22:49:59 »

cpt.Young

Thx

Yeah, it's much to do! But it is a start, i have made 2ship befor, but they are gone

JHB

Hehe!

LucAtC

Mabye, I can use this in Virtual Sailor, i know a danish guy ho can export this into the game

I have the Sketchup Pro 6

Captain Davies

It work in VS, why not SS08

AriesDW

I can save it to a a .skp (sketchup file)

Export it into a those files:

- 3DS (*.3ds)
- AutoCAD DWG (*.dwg)
- AutoCAD DFX (*.dfx)
- Google Earth (*.kmz)
- Collada (*.dae)
- FBX (*.fbx)
- OBJ (*.obj)
- WRML (*.wrl)
- XSI (*.xsi)

BTW: Controll Room Update

AriesDW · « **Reply #7 on:** June 08, 2007, 01:16:39 »

I think if you export this as a 3D Studio Max file they can get it in the game.

SEE THE MODELING RESOURCE CENTER for how to best optimize your models for addition to the game.

J3nsen, if you can make anything ou of sketchup, then I salute your abilities. As far as I can see, sketchup serves one purpose- to fill your hard drive.

Sketchup is free. It is still too exensive, so well done indeed.

As for file format- if you prefer sketchup, then develop in it and use another free programme- blender etc- to re-save it in a correct format.

Well done for progress in sketcup anyway

The Pro program is not free

I use Sketchup, for it's easy too use, i have tryed to learn 3dmax and blender, but i understand 1% of it

Not putting you down, but if you want to advance or improve in this field, you will have to get more involved with that software. If you can produce these items in sketch up, you can easily do it in the other programs.

AriesDW · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2007, 21:47:44 »

Nice bridge work. Very nice. Is there a poly count as of yet?

J3nsen · « **Reply #13 on:** June 08, 2007, 21:54:16 »

No

AriesDW · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2007, 21:58:22 »

So sketch up does not track polygons? This is bad, bad news.

I disagree with you Dave. I worked (self taught) professionally using Microstation (one of the most involved, yet I knew comparatively little) yet I just can not convert to the others.

I might get a copy of Cinema 4d. That was relatively OK

Remember that J3nsen is using the PRO version. I haven't seen it, maybe it's OK???

Stu

AriesDW · « **Reply #16 on:** June 08, 2007, 22:04:08 »

Well, industry standards here are still prodominately Cinema 4D, Studio Max, Light Wave, and Maya.

Hehe, I will give the carferry more details too! Just want to finish the Big details first!

Captain Davies · « **Reply #22 on:** June 09, 2007, 12:23:18 »

Well I really hope this ship can be put into the game because it it looking really good. I'm amazed that SketchUp is capable of such things!

AriesDW · « **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2007, 01:14:05 »

Indeed, except the lifeboats do need some work - a little curvature on the hull.

J3nsen · « **Reply #24 on:** June 11, 2007, 02:02:33 »

I try to make the walk mode

You can go out from the controll rom and in from left on the pipe back, and down some stairs and you will end in a café or something, i will make something later!

Yes, i will make more details on the life boats

Just not easy!

hehe

More pic's come soon!
