Compared to most other 3d modelling apps, yes i think it is terrible (and i have used the software before). But as i said i agree with your points 100%, its free, its good for making simple objects and as that fits your needs, thats great for you. But you are missing a few very important things..
Firstly. You have totally missed the entire point of my posts ( as i suspected.) My opinion of the software has absolutely nothing to do with anything. As i explained in my previous post after you decided to apologise to me (for some odd unknown reason) Im not telling anyone what software to use, im merely suggesting other options..
My suggestion of not requesting sketchup objects, or more accurately requesting other formats as well.... Was said to help you guys have more chances at getting models you needed. Again all this was fully explained in my previous post..
Hi Nobby76.
Don't you think you have used a lot of words just to say, "better titled "object request thread" ".
Some one else realised what i was talking about.. you on the other hand just dismissed all of that and jumped in to defend sketchups honour.. Which brings me onto the second point.
Secondly. And this one might come as a shock to you..
You are not the topic starter, you have nothing to do with changing the topic title, so i was clearly not addressing you. The suggestion would only really be useful to
Chris Mackenzie as he
is the topic starter.
So why even get involved? other than to have an argument with me over how awesome you think sketchup is.. So lets get that out the way now...
If you flat out compare sketchup to things like 3ds Max, maya, Lightwave, C4D. It
is terrible, its like comparing MS Paint to PhotoShop.
Its very basic (which we know you love) everything is simple to learn, but you are not gonna be producing detailed replicas of St Pauls cathedral . Odds on if you see something like that for sketchup, then it was created in something else and converted over to sketchup. Sketchup can handle those models fine, polygon count isnt the issue, but the time it would take to create it with those simpler commands wouldn't be worth it, you could halve the time it would take using a more advanced 3d editor.
So when i say, sketchup is rubbish, i think thats a perfectly valid opinion to have knowing what other software out there can do..
Well there you go, you did manage to get a rise out of me after all. NOW..
You missed the whole point in my first post and you decided to jump in and defend some software. Seeing as you seemed to have miss understood, i thought it best to explain a second time. Again you missed the point.. Despite giving a very clear explaination of what i meant, even though others seemed to have understood. You then decided to apologise for using sketchup (i still dont know why really) my only guess would be, its like when teenagers get moody with their parents and yell things like "Sorry for even breathing" If thats what it was, nice one !
So here we are a third time. Now please try and read this all carefully so you actually "get it" this time around. I really dont want to have to resort to drawing you pictures so you understand.
I do not hate sketchup, i have it installed on my machine right now, i have uses for it. but as modelling apps go, yes i do think its quite rubbish. But i'm not interested in debating it's pros and cons with you. im interested in being able to get more stuff to use for BTB, yes i use BTB as well, i have released a few tracks back in the day. So thats how i know we do not NEED to use sketchup models, because i never made any of mine in sketchup..
Now can we please drop this pointless argument that you seem to want to have.
Good Day.
