Starship Simulator game uses SketchUp for ship

Just been checking out a new game that is being developed, called Starship Simulator.
While watching one of his live streams I noticed that he said that the ship was drawn using SketchUp.

Timeline 1:01:25.
The ship is about 300 metes long. I think it’s got 8 decks.
Now that would be fun to draw up…

Nice. He does mention a few minutes later, only the modelling is done in SketchUp. All the rest like UV layout, materials, smoothing etc is done in Unreal Engine which makes sense.

Yes, maybe I should have mentioned that it was the modelling only, but I thought that he would explain it better then me, so I just left it.

Here is another stream. Very interesting as it’s more SketchUp related.

I’ve been following this channel since this post… It’s been interesting to see him build up the ships.

I like the way he structures everything, so its like building one for real.

Yes you are correct in that all the pretty stuff is done using Unreal.
