SketchUp model to car configurator in 10 minutes

**esperientben** · February 5th, 2009, 03:51 AM

Another video showing how to transform a SketchUp car model into a basic interactive real time product configurator. This time we have used drag & drop 'Smart Objects' to add a simple User Interface, a material color changer and pre-defined view buttons. Again, the model is dragged directly from Google Warehouse and the interactivity features are simply dragged and dropped on to the model. Total time to create - less than 10 minutes.

The video can be seen at:

Hi again

Following your good advice, can I follow up by saying that we have wriiten and added another Smart Object -real time vehicle physics. This allows you to drag & drop vehicle dynamics to add driving capability to models that have been pulled out of Google 3D Warehouse.

The video showing how simple this is can be found at:

All the best
