My SketchUp Plugins list, and blog about the world of plugins for SketchUp.
Helen put together a promo code that knocks $100 US off the price of a new single-user Pro license (it's normally $495). European and UK customers save 20%, which works out to about the same thing.
But I had a brilliant idea the other day:
Make it easier to add the armature to Blender and to assign groups to bones in the armature.
Some hilights are:
- Color & UV animation
- Metal shader mode
- GUI improvements
- Better Proxy support
- Cubic image generation
- IES improvements
Jeff Lummis recently finished a great little Lego house (set #4956) with his daughter - he sent pictures.
Besides being available for Microsoft Windows, the updated version now installs on Apple Mac OS X also and can be downloaded as a part of our Pre-beta Partner Program free of charge. Due to a great response to our initial release and thanks to help of our prebeta-testers, we can now provide three additional (Portuguese, German and French) translations of the Modelur user interface.
Here is a Sketchup plugin which will draw the path that the sun travels for one day. It does this by first calculating the sun's position at the moment the plugin is run and then adding one half hour and redrawing it repeatedly until 24 hours have passed.
The SketchUp Source Tools allow you to create 3D content for the Source game engine using Google SketchUp. There are two main file format exporters: one for .VMF and one for .SMD.
The .VMF export plugin allows you to export SketchUp models to Hammer, the environment editor for the Source game engine. Hammer is used to create game levels for titles such as Half Life, Portal, Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, and Left 4 Dead.
he .SMD export plugin is useful for creating models for props or for making static models that can be placed in your levels.
We've released Waybe 2.0, with all the neat features we mentioned below. Better tabbing, better unfolding, and new, user-controllable unfolding.
You can select an edge to be "fixed" or "broken", and Waybe will keep the edge together or take it apart as you like. There's also the ability to select a face as the "base" of a part, which means Waybe unfolds around it. These two features let you make more complex models and have them unfold exactly the way you want.
This is a contact sheet built from images exported from A SketchUp model. The model is not mine and was importer using my SketchUp LDraw importer plugin. The plugin uses the STEP command in the LDraw file to create a new SketchUp::Layer for each Step.
With all the Layers in place, Scenes can be automatically added, and animations created using SketchUp's built-in animation features.
