in I.T we have started to learn sketchup (some modelling thing) because it is supposed to help us with our D.T coursework. Anyway, its incredibly easy and i was wondering if models from it are compatible with alleg? I wanna help help out with the quantus thingy.

I suspect that you'll get a better answer if you posted this in the artwork forum. Maybe a kind moderator will move it there.

that does seem like a sensible idea... and this is the kind of thread title i try to avoid... oh well

i doubt it will be of any use unless it can export .X which i doubt it can.

If you have milkshape and it can export to a format milkshape can read you might be in luck.

You are porbably better off learning a normal 3d modeling package if you want to make models for allegiance (*doesn't have time to check sketchup capabilities, but doubts it has enough control on things*)

Supposedly there is a sketchup importer for blender, but I haven't had any luck actually finding it.

And if your school has shelled out the cash for the top-of-the-line version of sketchup, I think it has more export options than the free version.
