Andrew Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Sketchup to Game... The tutorial covers, modeling in sketchup, texturing in sketchup, importing / exporting the dff, col file in 3DS Max and Gmax, creating TXDS, and using MEd. I am going to be making an html version avaible shortly, but at the moment, its in PDF. http://www.shadowsrealm.co.uk/susatut.zip 13MB: sorry about the size.

Ja750 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) what sort off program do you open the file with Adobe Reader. @Gangsta Killa This is really good, Im gonna give this a try. EDIT: Need Help. I add my col, dff and txd to the archive then rebuild it, open up MED and it loads 95% of map files then quits out. Now when there not in the archive it dont quit out. Any ideas, how to fix this ?

Leon Blade Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I followed this tutorial and it helped me out a lot! The only problem is, my model DOES show up in MEd. But it DOES NOT show up in the game. I'm making a simple house model for GTA III. I figured out that the COL file can't be in the image. The collision file shows up in the game, I ran into it >.< But I don't see the house. Why is this? --Leon Blade Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/280153-sketchupsasketchup-to-sa/#findComment-1057656448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeceMix Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Hi all, Im Gonna try out this tutorial , I have all the tools and a knowlege of how to use them but it will be my first attempt at modding gta, I was just wondering if there have been any major changes to the tutorial process decribed in the PDF? (as this post is over a year old now - Jun 1 2007), Thnx Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/280153-sketchupsasketchup-to-sa/#findComment-1058483226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeceMix Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Why I can't export *.3Ds files with Gmax? AGGGGHHH , wished i'd looked into Gmax a little further because Gmax Doesnt export 3DS files! and the Tutorial suggests either '3DSmax' or 'Gmax' ! So for anyone else following this tutorial ... DONT USE GMAX ! There is no Export/Import Script ..as far as im aware Anyhoo.. I completed the process with 3DSmax (The only other flaw I found in the tutorial is at the end it says 'choose your IPL and click install. And go to file -> save install. And that’s it, you’ve done' It should be 'Click Save' (also I dont get why his end picture shows the bus ontop of the obect he created and not in it?) Apart from that its an awesome tutorial for the dumbest of newbie wannabie monkey brain modders. Here was my result , a storm drain tunnel http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/5038/hi...ybookra8.th.jpg (http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=historybookra8.jpg) Why wont this picture display??
