Anssi, thanks much for investing your time in this.
I’m guessing I’m asking more of Sketchup Free than it was ever intended to provide. You know, I’m kinda trying to hack the system and so probably shouldn’t be surprised it’s not working. The best solution to this file transfer madness may be to stop trying to transfer files, from anywhere to anywhere.
FYI, I’m learning how to create 3D characters in MakeHuman, animate them in Mixamo, wash the files in Blender, and then import in to Hitfilm, where I can create and navigate 3D spaces. That’s a success story of sorts, though the models tend to go to ■■■■ once I put a light on them.
Given that I can’t seem to import 3D models from pretty much anywhere, I thought I might be able to make my own 3D models here and add them to my scenes in Hitfilm.
I honestly don’t have a lot of confidence that even if I got the Pro version of Sketchup that file transfer would work. I’d love to be proven wrong though. Any Hitfilm users here?
Or, is anybody having success importing their Sketchup models in to any video editing software?
