Hello,
first post
I would also hold my hand up for .skp support (or just a way to get models into UE4 from sketchup). UE4 to me a sketchup user is like looking into the suitcase in pulp fiction. I design Tv Sets and work mainly in the media industry but hang around the with the architects and the rest of the sketchucation.com forums. UE4 would suit tons of people there and would be very popular.
Sketchup is what it is designed to do. Get people into 3d and it gets a bit of a kicking when you compare it to maya, 3DS and Blender from the guys that use these programs. SU is a great program, as its user friendly and a newbie is up and running in minutes as opposed to hours (in my case trying to learn maya - days!)
I realise that its unconventional behaviour isn’t well received here but it is very popular and Epic could do a lot worse than encourage sketchup users.
I’ve read the posts and I can get the model in easy enough but after building the lights all my textures go mental.
