Table football? Just guessed my Italian is non-existent :) >using a sketchup model [1] and and some animation and/or interaction.

The Sketchup model will not have anything for the physics in it anyway. Then you will need to build the collision meshes for Bullet yourself, but that is what osgBullet/osgWorks should be able to help you with. And making a ball and passing it to Bullet should be fairly trivial. If you want to avoid the hassle of dealing with COLLADA, try to take the exported model, import it into 3D Studio Max (or Blender if you do not have Max) and re-export as .osg file or .obj file. Problem solved ... To be honest, COLLADA is a pain to use because there are several incompatible versions of the DOM in use and I have yet to find a tool that actually supports it properly. E.g. 3DS Max can import/export COLLADA but I haven't managed to get Blender, OSG nor Bullet to load the result. Blender supports two versions, Bullet loads one, OSG also one out of that. Max doesn't load whatever Blender produces, regardless of version, etc. I have no idea about Maya or Sketchup, perhaps that has a bit better support.
