Harris6310 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Recently I have been messing around with Google SketchUp making some generic crap. What I was wondering is if the software could be used for 3D game development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealbreaker Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 It CAN be used for smaller stuff I guess. You can also convert the models to some more-used format if you want to implement them in a game…-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkro1 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you want 3D game development software I recommend Blender ;)Google SketchUp is more for architects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I encourage using Blender, Autodesk 3ds Max (If you can get a licence legally) or Autodesk Maya (If you can get a licence legally).Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harris6310 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Okay. I'm not developing a 3D game wondering if I could use SketchUp, I'm using SketchUp wondering if I could use it for a 3D game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you can export it to any model format like X, 3DS, etc. then you can use it for game development. Although, I personally wouldn't use Google's SketchUp in that area.Yours faithfully Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawQuart Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Wouldnt everything be really blocky? I dont think you could make a quality character mesh with that either… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowdeath Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Actually, it would be quite easy to use it for Game Development.I have before, but then again, I'm not the best at sketchup so the graphics sucked.But, if you take your time, and if you install some plugins, it could be a great tool. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
