Hoping you can help ... I created a character in Make Human software.. imported it into blender (dae) altered my character... from there I imported it into Sketchup (dae). What showed up was the character from Make Human not the altered version where I had moved the arms and legs in blender I know there's some steps that I'm not doing . can you help me with what I'm doing wrong? Thanks John.

It seems like changes to your character's armature (the bones) in Blender did not make it to Sketchup because Sketchup does not use armatures, at least not without a lot of extra work. Possible solution to the problem: apply Armature modifier to character's mesh objects in Blender, before exporting to Sketchup. This can be done by selecting the character's meshes and applying each mesh's "Armature" modifier. This will need to be done for each mesh object controlled by the character's armature (bones). E.g. apply "Armature" modifier of all meshes imported from MakeHuman: body, clothes, hair, etc.

Man, that was a great tutorial! But the part of creating the lipsynch seemed a bit exhausting. There must be a way to expedite this step. Other than that, everything else is very interesting. I'm really excited to test out these features here at home and try to get similar results.

Good point, I will do something about that soon
