Digital Sandwich’s Glen Faught provides a quick tip for using models from Google Warehouse and Google Earth which are in Collada format, and shows how to import those into Cinema 4D.
A C4D Quick Tip where we go over how to import Collada files – Also we show Google’s 3D Warehouse, where many of the models for Google Earth are stored, many of which also happen to be saved as Collada files
Glen notes that importing Collada models from the vast Google Warehouse library can be an interesting premise to take advantage of some free referenced models for Cinema 4D. Collada stands for Collaborative Design Activity and was established to create an interchange file format mostly for interactive 3D applciations.
