Unity import script

[ZapWizard]

I have an issue with the import script (Or lightup export)

It seems that if I have items with solid colors (no texture) inside of SketchUp, all the colors end up being marked as the same "White" defuse color inside of Unity.
Also the light map isn't importing when this happens. If I export lighting only I do get a lightmapped clay model.

I had no issues with the script on a previous project which has far more texture and solid colors.
This is a project for a client I would appreciate a quick response.

If you look at the Autodesk FBX file produced by LightUp, you'll see that the materials do have the diffuse color set to whatever you set them (search for Property: "DiffuseColor")

However, for some reason, the Unity importer just assigns white.

I figured out my mistake, I had the script in \editor instead of \assets\editor. The colors import with the lightmaps intact.

I've got the script working for the initial import, but when i close and reopen my scene it seems to reimport my model, and then it comes in without the LightUp materials (see attached).

Edit: It seems I'm getting a bunch of error like this one:

Code: Select all

Assets/Bak/tree_3d_green_94__leaves_many_green.mat is missing its meta data file. Reimporting asset.

OK, that doesn't seem to be happening anymore, but I am now having another problem where everything appears transparent and z-sorted incorrectly.

Sometimes.

Here's a screenshot where I exported two sketchup scenes (the house and the colored boxes). The house imports weird, and the boxes import fine. Examining them, I see that the house is using the Lightup lightmapped shader, and the boxes are using the legacy lightmapped shader.

They were exported and imported one after the other.

Why would this be happening?

Hi Adam,

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but seems the most logical place...

Given the age of this script, is it still appropriate to use in the workflow pipeline for current Sketchup 2015/LightUp 4/Unity 4 (or 5) versions?

It looks like you've included a custom shader in your script (I think)... Unity has improved many of the shaders since you originally worked on this. Is it still appropriate to use your custom shader? Or, is there a better native option in Unity?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Bill

I also would like to know if this script is still appropriate to use nowadays.
