What Ralph said is on point. I would suggest trying any other app except for Sketchup. If it's free/premade models you need, more LOW poly ones like OBJ,3DS,LWO can be found on turbosquid etc on the web.
Sketchup doesn't focus on optimization (or low poly), so you can go crazy, and something might look good, but that doesn't mean it's optimized and will run well in Flash. For 3d stuff to run well in flash, it takes a bit of practice and patience, because optimization is key when it comes to 3d flash. Like Ralph said, you might have to do so much work after Sketchup, that it might not even be worth it, and better off doing the modelling in some other lesser know or free app. -Pete On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 10:13 AM, MadMax <[email protected]> wrote: > > No chance I could buy maya or max, could never afford those, nor have > the time to learn to use them. > > I did try blender some time ago and didn't have the time or patience > to learn that either. > > I've tried Sketchup and looks like I could use that with some outlay > in time.

Very sad if I won't be able to use this workflow. :( -- ___________________ Actionscript 3.0 Flash 3D Graphics Engine HTTP://AWAY3D.COM
