Grrrrrrrrr

ps. Can someone give it a try so we can find a step by step process to convert.

I've tried 3 stadiums (Cleveland Browns Stadium, Arrowhead Stadium, and Giants Stadium) with that conversion program and every time it says there's an incomplete task and doesn't tell me how to fix it.

So if anybody is able to do it, congrats.....

It´s no surprsise... some kitmakers, facemakers, and specially stadium makers have always been picky and a little selfish about their techniques and methods... it´s a shame that there´s no sense of cooperation about this matter.

Maybe this was why I couldn't convert the stadium?

"tutorial_english.doc"

a_kor1, I already have that one. Quite in-depth I recommend everybody get that. My problem is with converting a .dea file to .3ds.

[ok folks prepare for a kinda long post here ]
So I actually went to the forum where the original ".dea conversion tutorial" was posted. A couple months after Paulscode's tutorial, he posts that he discovered that the FBX converter is not compatible with all .dae files. He later found that Blender (which I think comes in that whole packet of tutroials that the above quoted doc was a part of)to be a decent program to get it done....supposedly. BECAUSE there's other forms of chaos that could happen.

The link a_kor1 posted doesn't take you to the forum b/c if you're not a member it spits you to the homepage. Just click the link and serach for "Converting Sketchup Models to 3DS".


Update: Well, I won't be using the Blender method because I downloaded Ptyhon, but it would not install on my computer. SO I may be forced to do the sketchup 8 hr demo thing. I'm going to look at what this one guy (on the Converting Sketchup Models forum) was talking about how certain elements of Vista (user account controls) may actually allow you to have a trial longer than the 8 hours.

have you found a way to get a longer than 8 hours trail of sketchup pro? coz converting with blender doesnt work that well.

and can someone explain how to make crowd meshes in rhino?? exits and stairs in the stadium make it difficult to just use the stands meshes..

eh....probably not

I tried....and I don't think it worked for me so far. I'm usually not using it for long so I'm still at like 7.75 hrs or something like that.

I was going to make a suggestion about the crowd meshes but I forgot it at the moment.
