How do I make a GooPs 3D Model Cursor?
You can use Google Sketchup to create and modify models for your 3D cursors. There are hundreds of cars, boats, and planes to choose from at the Google 3Dwarehouse. Most models will require some minor Sketchup adjustments to work properly. This includes scaling, centering the model on the origin, and rotating the model to face north. Google Sketchup exports models to kmz format. GooPs requires that the model file (.dae – Collada format) be extracted from the kmz file. You can use your favorite archiving program (winzip, winace) to extract the model file. Once you have found or created a 3D model you simply copy the file to a local drive, open the GooPs Options window, Select the 3D option for your vehicle, click on the “…” button to select the 3D cursor model file you just copied. You can try a sample model here: http://goopstechnologies.com/car2red.xml. After you download the file, rename it to “car2red.dae”.
