This is a fully textured model I made in SketchUp. The program is amazingly simple to use, and quite easy to grasp and model with. Much much easier than blender is to use.

This model is of one of the dorm towers on campus where I go to school. It took me probably about 16 hours total to fully model and texture everything, including transparent windows. However I don't know how to load an .obj file right in my model viewer program. The textures came out with all the wrong UV values for some reason.

No, I didn't make this for model hack, but I am proud of my model so I'm posting it anyway.

Maybe it's not my loader that's screwed up, because it is just simple text parsing, but the UV values come out all screwy in the .obj file when I export it from SketchUp. As long as the texture is not repeated, shouldn't the values all be from around 0.0 to 1.0, give or take a little for positioning? Look at some of these texture values in the model's .obj file :

usemtl LeftWindowWide2
vt -3.00201 6.99867
vn 0 0 -1
v 1.74051 13.45 -3.63
vt -1.99941 7.99941
vt -3.00201 7.99941
f 17/33/9 19/34/9 18/35/9

v 1.74051 11.7688 -3.63
vt -1.99941 6.99867
f 19/34/9 17/33/9 20/36/9

The UV vertices are -3,7 , -2,8 , -3,8 , and -2,7 or so, which all seem to make sense for texel width and height, but not position.

This is what the textures look like when I try to display them in my model viewer program :

And this is what they look like with textures off (So you can see the faces) :

Here's SketchUp and my Model Viewer shown side by side on the same sides of the building :

{"name":"610113","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/0\/30df6d177dffbfced84d2b4da61e84e1.png","w":1920,"h":1080,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/0\/30df6d177dffbfced84d2b4da61e84e1"}

Here's SketchUp and the resulting object file imported by blender from the same view :
{"name":"610114","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/5\/35d117e90135d94a23b6a9082b42b7ab.png","w":1920,"h":1080,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/5\/35d117e90135d94a23b6a9082b42b7ab"}

Apparently I can't export an .obj file anymore because my free trial of SketchUp Pro expired. Now I can only export collada or google map files.

Blender can import collada files, but how do I show textures in Blender?

Blender is so damn complicated.
