I am trying to decide on a game engine for archviz/vr, and I like everything about UE except that I have not been able to ever get my SketchUp models to import correctly. Bringing the models into Max or Blender to unwrap the UVs is not feasible in our workflow.
I just downloaded PlayUp, but unfortunately have not been able to get that to work any better; hopefully I will figure out what I am doing wrong. Even if I do get PlayUp to work, I would much rather see native support for .skp files like Unity has. My models and textures come in perfectly, and they even update automatically when the model changes. I really don’t care for Unity other than that one feature.
I really hope support for .skp files is still a consideration; having native support would really help all of us in archviz that need to deal with constant changes and updates at the last minute. Anything that will save time (even a few minutes exporting and importing) would be extremely helpful!
