This is because it is scaled very large (several hundred Blender Units on a side).

You may notice parts of the model appearing and disappearing as you try viewing it from different angles.

Just select the camera and hit CTRL+LKEY to link it into the new scene. If you try rendering, you may not see anything, because the default camera is only linked into the original default scene named “Scene”. You may also find additional scenes created with nothing in them, that you can delete.

The model imports into a new Blender scene, called something like “SketchupScene” or “SketchupScene001”.

Tips: I’ve tried importing a few of these 3D Warehouse models, and so far I’ve only noticed a couple of issues: Fixing these to be usable will push your blender skills to new levels in some cases.

Note: some of the 3d warehouse models can't be understood by blender due to a zillion repeating elements, others will show up invisible (one sided, or inside out), be gigantic in size, or all parented to some crazy spot out in space. zip files with a collada inside them, so just rename and unzip)

- Google's 3d warehouse repository take the collada version, when available ( the Google Earth downloads are actually.

This seems to have some licensed models and might be legal trouble see Discussion at These sites offer models in other formats.

- specifically for swapping Blender models.

BlenderKit - free models, materials and brushes available through Blender add-on.

Yorik’s site - some Blender files for his architectural projects are available for download.- they have furniture, arcade video games, joysticks, toys, vehicles, road and sidewalk items, and simple human models.That tutorial course was originally born out of collected knowledge from previous Open Movies such as Spring.īut since the features and workflows of realistic character creation are not as easy to follow and use, we decided to leave this in its current format until another time.These sites offer.

The original intent was to turn this documentation into a full tutorial series similar to the Stylized Character Workflow. The main topic will also be on the sculpting and modeling process for animation, instead of the whole workflow of texturing, shading, grooming, rigging and animation. It will not go into detail like other tutorials on this platform. This documentation is focused on advanced techniques and general advice that was learned during production.

This documentation will remain more generalised to apply to other characters outside of that production as well. Based on actual movie productionĪll the content is closely tied to Project Heist and will often use it as a visual reference. This section was mostly compiled from previous work and research from the Blender Studio. In this documentation we share all the current research and workflow techniques on creating highly realistic human characters in Blender.
