Technical note

SKP to DDS: what to expect from the conversion

A 3D model has no front of its own, so the DDS shows it from one viewpoint: the angles you set on the X, Y and Z axes, or a preset such as the isometric view. Whatever faces away from that viewpoint is not in the picture, so a part with features on several sides needs several images, which the multiple-frames option renders in one run. SKP describes geometry rather than pixels, so it has no inherent resolution. The conversion renders it at whatever size you choose, and that choice is final: enlarging the DDS afterwards will not recover the sharpness. Set the output dimensions or DPI before converting, not after.

3D Workflow

From 3D model to picture

Product pages, manuals and reports need pictures, not SKP files. reaConverter renders each model to DDS at the angle you set, a whole folder at a time.

  • Set the camera angle on X, Y and Z, or start from the isometric preset
  • Render a turning model as an animated GIF when one still image is not enough
  • Keep unreleased designs and client models on your PC: nothing is uploaded
  • Use one angle and size for every model, so a catalogue looks consistent

FAQ

SKP to DDS Conversion

What are SKP files?

An SKP file is the native 3D model format used by SketchUp, a popular 3D modeling software for architecture, interior design, and game development. It stores 3D geometry, materials, textures, and scene data in a proprietary but well-documented structure.

What are DDS files?

DDS (DirectDraw Surface) is an image file format that usually contains texture data, cubic environment maps or other type of data compressed using the S3TC (S3 Texture Compression) algorithm. The DDS format was first associated with Microsoft's DirectX 7.0 and later on with DirectDraw, a tool for accelerating the rendering of graphics in various applications. DDS is a container file and can be decompressed using a graphics processing unit (GPU).
