Spent about 2 hours on this last night. Still have not imported a model in game yet! Still want to add a few more details, then im going to try and import it.

Thanks for the kind words! I hope to get more done tonight, but now must do some yard work! (mowing the grass, not rail yard work lol)

Looking good.

[Bananarama]

Great start. I can see this becoming a very useful structure.

Nice!

Thanks everyone! But it seems Ive ran into a wall, blender just crashes every time i try an import it so i can export it to 3ds. Tryed every export option with sketchup, but blender still crashes. I even bought 3d crafter pro so that when I finally imported it, i could export it with the train wizard, and then figure out how to install it in game! But blender is just driving me nuts, spent over 4hrs tonight on this and just need a break i guess. But I'm not giving up.....

To be continued.... lol

Did everyone think I forgot about this 3 stall shed? No, been reading and practicing etc.... As I said before, had a hard time getting it from sketchup to 3D Crafter Pro. I still have a few problems, like some of the windows just not rendering on import to 3D Crafter. But anyway, finally get to see it in the game with some practice textures (I think I know what I'm doing wrong in a few spots) And final building will be nice looking or it won't get released! Also need to figure out while the inside of the building doesn't render correctly? As you can see thru the windows, but the other wall doesn't render, and go inside the building and you can see thru the walls too???

Oh... and it will be just a tad bigger than it is now! LOL




Resizing it won't be a problem after I figure out the other problems!
Anyone have any idea what could fix these problems?

Well, I know you have to paint both the inside and outside, by how though, I don't yet know how to do. To fix the window problem you should be able to copy one of the windows that did show up with the model, add it to your component library, and simply place the new window in the empty slot. That's how I do it.

Again, place a default texture on the model in sketchup and it will fix the problem of being able to see through the walls, now you will be able to paint, and see the inside of the walls in the game. After I first did the place a default texture on the model in sketchup I noticed that it shows up this way in game.

All that was done to the model, placed default texture on it before export with sketchup. and does 3D crafter pro have a component libary? Cause thats were the problem is, not in sketchup, as the window are components already. I have an idea about the walls, just haven't tested it yet. Going to make the walls thick, instead of just a single plane. I'm just glad I finally got it in 3DC mostly intact! I'll keep at it....
