Sketchup and COLLADA as modeler and scene description?
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 5:52 am
Hi.
I am writing my master thesis and would like to use Bullet as physics engine to do some simulations. As I was trying different things I encountered that Bullet should be able to read the COLLADA file format and I was wondering if Google Sketchup is a modeler which can be used to produce such a file. Have you any experience in using Sketchup and is it even possible to attach physics within Sketchup's COLLADA export? I already found the plugin SketchyPhysics wich seems to do a similar thing but it's using Newton and so I couldn't get a satisfying answer to my question. Hope you can help me.
Best regards
