Importing .obj files from SketchUp to Anime Studio 5 Pro

Post by Shin.J.Type »

Just got a plugin for Google SketchUp that'll let you export your files as .obj (free!) for use in Anime Studio:

My question is this...when I made an object and imported it, it was too big for the working area of Anime Studio. Can I shrink the size of the object in Anime Studio, or do I have to make it a certain way in SketchUp first before I export it?

Thanks

Hello Shin

3D objects are layers, just like any other content in as pro, just use the scale layer (s kf) to scale it down!

In additional to scaling, you can also play with the translate later tool, and move the whole 3D layer back.

Would you post a screenshot of what the obj file looks like in AS? I'm curious to see what the object renders like.

O.K i have been able to import an OBJ into Anime Studio Pro v 6.1 but they are not in there correctly. I recall something about a setting sum how or another.

Any advice.
