this is really annoying so I dont think im gonna ever figure out how many polies there are.
I downloaded the viewer and it says the model was created in a newer verision and blahblah

Bottom Line: I don't think I'm gonna get the # any time soon :x

Im actually more angry than disappointed

Ok, I just uninstalled Pro and reinstalled Free (I assume we're all using Version 7 right?). Here's what I see when I toggle the Standards Toolbar.

There really isn't much of a difference between Free and Pro besides more import/export support. Oh, and Ruby coding.

Well, its good that this has been updated, because I have some new models:

Another thing that I am not sure if you sketchup users are aware of but Ultimate Unwrap 3D can now handle .skp files. So on the demo (I have the full version so I can't tell) you could very well may be able to look at them and if you are lucky export them as an obj. I can't remember the save limitations on the demo.

Anyway here is a link to the site. Unwrap 3D demo

The demo can't save but is fully functional otherwise.

I might go but the full version, just because some of my old sketchup models* deserve a chance to be used ingame, so, if this turns out to be the case, I'll gladly convert models for people when I have free time.

*mostly my KITT model, and a few Tatooine buildings, but my JKA shotty might make it in there as well.
