Hello everyone,
I have created a object in sketchup for 3drad.
When i use it in 3drad.
It's too big.
Can someone explain what the scale need to.

1 meter in Sketchup should be 1 meter in 3DRad?!
no scale needed in here!

Yes thanks

But what size is then a car??

BTW: How can i use multiple textures for 3drad.
I'm using Sketchup.

aah I see... that's a bit difficult, the cars have different sizes but you can also vari with the wheel offset to find the correct position.
You can also make a Ruler Skinmesh in Sketchup wich has a marker every 0,5meter and is 10 meters long.
Export to 3DRad and you can measure the cars.

You can paint different textures with Sketchup.
For blending I'm using a paintprog. and load the ready texture to it.
Or you wait for the shader Object and learn HLSL

But how do you the blending?

blending isn't possible at the moment, but I blend the textures in Photoshop elements and then load it to Sketchup.

Preparing the textures and models takes much more time than 'making the game'

but thats the way it goes...

Of course. (double-sided textures don't always work)
