Would it be possible to use Sketchup for this?

I did it with the last 2012 version of the Importer :
- Build your model in SketchUp (with the last 2012 version of the Importer, the model had to be 64 inches (1,6256m) long for 1 block, but I don't know about the scale with the latest version...),
- Make one component for each Material you'll use for your object,
- Export it in .DAE format ('File > Export > 3D Model...'),

- Then sorry but anyway, you have to use Blender : 'File > Import > Collada',
- Select one of the components, then toggle 'Editmode',
- You should see black edges, then press 'A' to 'Select All', then press 'U' and click 'Unwrap',
- Open the 'Material' tab of the 'Properties' window,
- If you want to use some Material from the Library, type its referance just below the 'Assign' button,
- If this Material needs several UV layers, go to the 'Uv Maps' section of the 'Object Data' tab, then add some,
- Repeat the five previous steps for each component, then export : 'File > Export > Autodesk FBX' (I heard that you have to set the scale to 100 with the latest version of the Importer, somewhere in the left column when you export).

Thanks, I will have to try this out

Discovered that Static TDOSN material has a transparency bug : problem of Z sorting (far transparent objects can appear in front of close ones).
This will be fixed in a future maniaplanet update (I think it shouldn't impact the nadeoimporter directly)

Effectively, thx for this

BTW, wildcards like *.fbx not works on NadeoImporter.

- Is it possible to add some Material like : TDOSN I/E ?
I made some energy field barrier... but without Energy/Illumination... it's not really an energy field

- Can we use Animate Texture ? Like Grapple Energy

- And what about using sprites ? to make some végétation... Because >> this << is very heavy
Or it'll be add with action maker (particles use sprites)
