Hi guys, I just saw John Hurliman's 3pointD comment on the possibility of importing SketchUp models into Second Life: http://www. 3pointd.com/20060915/imvu-goes-sketchup/

"We already have an xml format for prims, so anyone in the community is free to write a SketchUp to .prims converter. Easier said than done though, as converting from one procedural format to another (at least in this case) is extremely difficult."

As someone waiting for this, I bow to you, oh libSL masters :). Has anyone here looked at this? Is it really possible (if extremely difficult) to do now?

For those who haven't seen it, this is SketchUp, Google's free 3D modeler: http://sketchup.google.com , and an SL importer could pull from your own models or the Google 3D Warehouse: http:// sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse . Also, in speaking with some Googlers a while back they expressed interest in importing SL content to Google Earth via the Warehouse when it became possible. Would be great to try and open up that two-way channel.

Best,

Jerry/SNOOPYbrown Zamboni
