Google Sketchup Delphi Integration

Google Sketchup is very easy to use for creating (low poly) meshes.
It also features an easy to use scriptable plugin system based on Ruby.
With the Ruby version included in Google Sketchup is also possible to call function inside dll's.
For that to work you need win32api.so in your plugins folder.

So with the posibility of calling functions and procedures inside dll's it is also possible to use google sketchup with delphi and/or freepascal.

You can download a proof of concept of this for now at http://www.noeska.net/downloads/googlesketchupdelphi.zip

This opens the way to create google sketchup plugins with object pascal.

Obj Exporter Alpha 1.0 for Google Sketchup

This is an rewritten version of an .x exporter by zbyl for google sketchup.

Also showed the obj loader in gl3ds needs some fixing as it does not read alpha values and treats specular power as an int where it should be a float.

Nice work :)

Ps. I shortly started to use google sketchup (just 2 day's ago) and I must agree that it is very easy to create a model :)
