Are you looking for Beta Testers?
Just curious if you are looking for beta testers for your plugin at this time, as i have several files on the 3D Warehouse I would like to attempt to export to Trainz. . .please let me know.

You've got that right..
Are you the one with all the Thomas videos on YouTube? If so, kudos to you.
Oh, me? Bless you, no! I'm not a part of Sodor Island 3D, I'm just a fan, trying to get into the world of modelling. My current project is a cafe building seen in the Railway Series books:
I've been told that the poly count's gonna be high just for using the 3D text, though...
Hi!
If in can give you a hint , you can make textures map(one or one for each face) in Sketchup(export 2d , camera not in perpective mode) and then map each face...so you'll have no problem of poly counts and a reduced number of textures
see here!

I am in the process of setting up a web site to host RubyTMIX plus my other Google/Trainz tools and techniques, and it is my plan to have tutorials available there as well that discuss this exact type of thing. If anyone wants to contribute a write-up of any kind, I would be most happy to accept it / polish it and present it along with the software.

Hi!
That's a good idea! I can't wait to use RubyTMIX , your exporter is very promising. Nice to have some tutorials on your future site too! your exporter solves lots of problems that we encounter when exporting from Sketchup to 3ds

Hi People again me. This time i made many conversions testing Mike tool exporter but whit very complex buildings and when i make more conversions to trainz more perplex and amazing i stay whit the power and very well made tool , i hope they make next a exporter for 3d max because the exporter from Auran dont converte ouar textures in power of 2 or re-sized then or make a already conf kuid asset ready to be committed , and many other things to.

Umm that isn't London Bridge. That bridge is Tower Bridge, London Bridge is further down the river.
Anyways, I can't wait to get my hands on the exporter. I got a handfull of stuff I'd love to get into TRS.

Which also brings up the point that really you've modeled the Palace of Westminster more then Big Ben.

Can someone convert this. .
Just recently rendered a Holiday Inn Great Sign (the one prior to 1979) available on the 3D Warehouse.. can someone convert this? Preferably TRS 2006 compatible

I just want to say that Arraial is doing an absolutely fantastic job in finding all the glitches in my exporter. Out of 3 Beta Testers he's the only one so far to provide any feedback at all, much less the amazing results he has shown here, and in fact he has found some very obscure problems (now solved) that are going to make this tool waaaaay better for everyone in the long run. Many of the features that you all will see when this tool is released are a direct result of his suggestions and observations.
He's also from Brazil... so how 'bout we cut him some slack and not get too technical about what he calls things in the UK? I'm extremely impressed with his work no matter what labels he puts on his images.
