Either way, you'd best start by watching this tutorial :http://www.muvizu.com/Video/17248/Tutorial-06-Building-sets-Importing-3D-models

if there is one in another scene I dont know but you can add it to favourites if you find one.

click on the object and select the tab favourites and then save it and open the set you were using and create object and look in the tab favourites

http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/

It's all free

http://www.muvizu.com/download/muvizuaseexporter.rb

And you need Sketchup, which is free and located here :
http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/download/gsu.html

Copy the muvizuaseexporter.rb file into the Sketchup Plugins folder.

Load your mouse model, or whatever you got from 3D Warehouse, into Sketchup and export it as an ASE file (from the Plugins menu, HardPCM Exporter For Unreal Tournament).

Then watch this tutorial :http://www.muvizu.com/Video/17248/Tutorial-06-Building-sets-Importing-3D-models

It gets easier after that, honest

Posts: 5 		Sorry, I still can't do so

I has successfully downloaded the ASE plugin for Sketchup and Sketchup.
I has also copied the muvizuaseexporter.rb file into the Sketchup Plugins folder.


But when i am exporting, I cannot find the HardPCM Exporter For Unreal Tournament.


So i continue to export ASE format ignoring the HardPCM Exporter For Unreal Tournament.


Then i follow the steps in the tutorial. When i enter Muvizu importing the object, it shows an error that "There was an error importing the object. File not found. C:/Users/ken/Desktop/v/Porte fen_tre/textures/toto.bmp"


But i have downloaded the
SketchUp 6 (.skp) and Collada (.zip) in http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2f61411a7bdba53d5838d82f30103d89&ct=mdsa

But i still cannot import. Help!!!

Within Sketchup, on the top menu click on plugins - do you see the Muvizu exporter ? If not then the .rb is not in the correct place, or you need to restart Sketchup.

Could you confirm whether you see this.

We will get this working for you.

Posts: 1988 		Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me ukBerty, I'm using the older exporter (for techncal reasons) so if the newer Muvizu one has a different location or name then please someone chip in and let Vincent know

Also Vincent, igonore the Collada stuff for now, not really needed.
