SketchUp Sketchy-Edge-Style Competition

To enter, all you have to do is create a custom sketchy-edge Style for SketchUp and upload it to the 3D Warehouse. Winners will receive a Google SketchUp care package which will include a 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator, along with other Google SketchUp goodies and an opportunity to have your style immortalized in future versions of the software. Up up to ten winners will be selected by our illustrious panel of judges.

You may enter this competition if you are 21 years of age or older and a resident of US or Canada. Good luck and we look forward to seeing what you create!

YafRay Renderer

I subscribe to the YafRay renderer forum. I am constantly blown away by the renders from this free ray-tracer.

There's few references to SketchUp on the forum, however. The few people who are using SketchUp are exporting to Blender, or Lightwave before rendering.

There doesn't appear to be an exporter for SketchUp yet.

LWO Exporter Plugin for Google Sketchup


This is a basic LightWave object exporter for Google Sketchup 6. It may work in previous versions, but is completely untested there. All the usual provisos apply - this is VERY ALPHA software, which may wreck all your data and destroy any plans you had for actually leaving work on time for once. I make no promises *whatsoever* about its suitability for any purpose, at all.

That being said, you may find it useful in its current state. It exports the data in the SketchUp model to a LWO model file. It exports the geometry and material definitions, but only front materials are respected - back materials are completely ignored. Texture images are exported as UV mapped surface layers, and transparency is also supported. Smoothing is currently unsupported.
