Nice plugin, very fast and accurate. It's lacking alot of import option features. Needs scaling, orientation and visual placement options like SKIMP has, as well as options to reduce polys in percentage amounts.
Also, when importing CAD files, or 3D print parts, which can be in the hundreds or more, for any given model, having to re-zoom out the camera after importing each part is really tedious.
The ability to import model groups would mitigate the annoyance level I think.
Thank you for building and sharing your exporter @Samuel Tallet. Much appreciated ! 🍻🍻 👍👍

Hey again Samuel, great to see you're keeping in touch! I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that your latest build looks promising. It's great that you were able to fix the size problem, and I appreciate all the hard work you've been putting in.

However, I did notice that I'm losing UVs and textures. I don't want to stress you out or anything, but I thought it would be best to bring it to your attention.

Keep up the great work, you keep moving forward sketchup by yourself and it's very inspiring!

Hi, Quixel models do not get automatic textures. I did use the "Claim Missing Textures" option and it worked for albedo. But then I wanted to also add Normal map and Roughness map in Enscape but the material created does not even show up in there when normally every Sketchup material does... So I crated one from scratch but the mapping is all wrong :(
It would actually be ground breaking to be able to import quixel models into skp with ready textures and correct mapping.

Bonjour Samuel et merci pour ce super plugin que j'utilisais parfaitement sur Windows. Cependant il ne fonctionne pas sur mon macbook M1, serait-il possible de voir d'où vient le problème ?

Hello.
In the previous version, when my model was loaded, a window appeared to select the texture.

It does not appear in this version, so the model is imported without texture.

May I know how to solve this problem?
