seene-sketchup

http://seene.co/ format importer/exporter plugin for Sketchup.

Loads scene.oemodel and texturizes it with poster.jpg (see seene-backup to get them)

Exports scene.oemodel and poster.jpg from Sketchup as viewed from current camera position (ignores zoom level now, so do not zoom in/out!) (see seene-uploader to put them back inside Seene)

Installation

Install Sketchup

Download .zip file of this repo (button on the right of this page).

Put seene-sketchup importer plugin file "seene.rb" to your Sketchup plugins directory

Mac: /Users//Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins
Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\Plugins

Usage Importer

Download some Seenes using https://github.com/neopaf/seene-backup (or use sample files below)
Start Sketchup
File|New
File|Import...
Format: Seene (*.oemodel)
Pick scene.oemodel you want to import (poster.jpg should be in same folder with it)
Click Options... to set import quality: 0=best, slowest; default=3 (poor, fast)
Click Import
Wait around 5 seconds for default quality
or 1 minute for best quality, application will totally lock up and not update its screen, that's normal
Be happy
Be creative. Combine several Seene-views of one object together or make lots of Seenes in a room and put it in a room in 3D
Publish result somewhere
Send some feedback to me, Alexander Petrossian (PAF)
If see a problem, report it here, I'll see what I can do

Happy importing!

Viewing

Camera|Orbit, hold your Alt key, drag the middle of a Seene around.

If you are lost in rotating, click on 'Scene 1' at the top, to reset camera position.

Retouching

Recommend the Smooth tool from Skulpt Tools plugin to fight small bumps.

Usage exporting

Extensions|Prepare to export Seeene will reset zoom (which is ignored in scanning now TODO:maybe it is possible to take zoom level into account?)
Extensions|Closer to move camera closer to object
Extensions|Away to move camera away from object
Extensions|Export... Your Sketchup model from current camera will be exported. scene.oemodel + poster.jpg will appear in /tmp folder (create one under windows) Points that were not raytraced will appear as "far away".
Go to /tmp folder, open poster.jpg and check that it covers exactly what you wanted
Rotate poster.jpg 90 degrees counter clock wise
Reimport result files to check how they look
Upload to Seene, using seene-uploader

TODO: one may turn @debug on in code, so debug set of specks will appear in camera plane, new group. Press UNDO to kill them. Each speck is a point from which a ray was sent towards camera direction to measure depth to be exported to scene.oemodel

TODO: customize depthmap size and step (now 80x80 with step = 3).

TODO: customize image size.

TODO: provide export folder dialog.
