Hello list I am currently using Gazebo svn8858, (I am not using latest trunk because simulation throttleing does not seem to work, I want to run the simulator at 1:1 “realtime”). I am also using the latest stable assimp 2.0 release.
Now to my problem. I want to import models from external sources into Gazebo. I recently tried Google SketchUp and found the “warehouse”, containing plenty of nice objects that I would like to use. I have tried the following methods: Collada export from SketchUp. Import into gazebo only partially works, some models are incomplete, missing or in the wrong place, all textures/colors are missing, everything is white. Ogre .mesh.xml export from SketchUp, using a SketchUp plugin I found on the Ogre web page. This generates a .mesh.xml and a .material file. It also outputs the needed textures. When I import this into Gazebo, the models seem to be imported correctly but I do not know how to make Gazebo load the .material file. Without the materials everything is white. I have also tried to convert the .mesh.xml to a .mesh Ogre binary file. But that did not seem to include the colors and textures either. I have tried to manually copy the contents of the exported .material file into Gazebo.material in my /usr/local/share/gazebo/Media/material directory, and copied the textures. With some manual editing the textures and colors will now show up on the imported model. Doing this for every model that I want to use is extremely time consuming however. I hope that someone has some suggestions.
