You need Sketchup Pro, then you can export to more conventional file types like .obj or .3ds. There may be other ways but I don't know them, I'm afraid.

save it as a .dae. then get .fbx converter from autodesk. convert that .dae file to an .fbx. then convert that fbx. to a .3ds. open 3dsmax. import .3ds file. :D

mastur cheef is right!! Long time I thinked that sketchup would be excelent for Halo, but no! It sucks, if you model in sketchup and then export to 3dsmax you will get a lot of open edges, USE 3Ds Max or blender.
Sorry |

il give a suggestion, use the plugin that autodeskt didn't make, here s a link
http://update.multiverse.net/wiki/index.php/Installing_the_3ds_Max_COLLADA_Plugin i actually like this format better than 3ds because i believe it retains more data without doing things like renaming your textures and such Edited by stunts513 on Mar 5, 2011 at 12:28 PM |

Sketchup Pro allows you to export to the 3ds format.

there's a way to get sketchup files exported to a format that isn't called collada if i remember right, but its actually just a zip file with a different extension, and in that zip file there's a collada file. If you extract the contents you can open it with the collada plugin. I used to do this to try to port models to ce i got from google's model library online. You could try doing this, it usually is pretty simple...

i don't think anyone made a completely "no error" transfer from sketchup... just use 3ds max. In the first place

Whoever told you that Sketchup fails at making Halo maps needs to get their facts correct.
I made these 2 maps using Sketchup mainly for the modelling, everything else in 3DS. BC_Raceway_Final_MP - http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=4665 BC_Carousel_MP - http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=5215 You don't need to convert .skp to .3ds. Sketchup Pro has .3DS export! Like Sceny already said. If you're getting lots of errors, you need to adjust the export options. |
