Hi, thanks for sharing the project. To be transparent: although I work across software, backend systems and automation, I don’t take on 3D‑modeling or architectural‑visualization work, including converting high‑poly 3ds Max models to SketchUp, cleaning/optimizing geometry, reducing polygon counts, reorganizing components/tags/materials, or preparing environments for Enscape/V‑Ray. This role needs a specialist deeply experienced in SketchUp production pipelines who can balance performance with visual fidelity for large architectural spaces. They’ll be a much better fit for the technical and workflow‑heavy requirements you’ve outlined. If you ever need help with technical workflow planning or automation strategy in another context, I can assist — but I’m not the right match for this 3D‑optimization role.

Hello, I’m interested in supporting Hive Studios with SketchUp model optimization and production-ready architectural workflows. I can help with: • Converting complex 3ds Max models into efficient SketchUp files • Cleaning geometry and reducing unnecessary polygon count • Preserving important architectural detail while improving performance • Organizing models with components, groups, tags, and clean material structure • Troubleshooting broken geometry, textures, UVs, and imported materials • Preparing large architectural environments for smoother use on lower-powered workstations • Reviewing models in Enscape and balancing visual fidelity with performance I understand that this role is not simple file conversion—the goal is to create lightweight, stable, well-organized SketchUp models suitable for real production use. I’m comfortable working carefully through large scenes, simplifying repeated geometry, optimizing materials, and keeping the final files easy for the production team to navigate and edit. I’m available for ongoing freelance work and can start with a test model if needed. Thank you.
