IMVU Goes SketchUp
Taunt brings news that IMVU users can now develop for their world-like 3D chatspace using SketchUp, the free 3D design program bought by Google some months back. [Via Chris Carella.] SketchUp is definitely gaining in leaps and bounds. As Chris says: “Between IMVU and Multiverse there is going to be a lot of SketchUp content out there, which will make it easier for people to assemble their own worlds.” It would be nice to see Second Life implement a SketchUp importer, but even though CTO Cory Ondrejka has gazed ahead approvingly to such an app, I imagine it will be a very long time coming. Should be interesting to see what people get up to in IMVU, though. (IMVU even has a tutorial up.) Will it suddenly become a much more complex and sophisticated “world”?



We already have an xml format for prims, so anyone in the community is free to write a SketchUp to .prims converter. Easier said than done though, as converting from one procedural format to another (at least in this case) is extremely difficult.
IMVU Does SketchUp…
