Why wouldn't you release the app?

The real question is, why use Sketchup in the first place, if you have 3ds..?

Use proper renders so we can actually see what you've done.

I can only say that the models don't have enough detail, from what I can see.

Either ditch those and make a new one in 3ds max or use them as a base for 3ds max.

Add a spot light to the scene and turn on light tracer. They looks a little flat also :X

is this what guns look like when there carved out of bars of soap?!

You need way more detail in those models. As of now, they look like an extruded face.

Though, why not just use 3ds Max? You get much better results, at a fraction of the polycount. (Depending on your method of modeling.)

They are extremely blocky some of the lowest poly models I've seen.

They're not really low-poly, they just lack detail. (Though, they are kind of blocky, just not the cylindrical parts.)

Since, Sketchup (is that right?) is a CAD program, most of the geometrical objects have quite a lot of polygons. (At least, the curved ones.)

they look very flat. there is no dept. and why do the skin look like comic book sketches?

Cel-shaded?

They're pretty cool, but make better textures to add more detail, cuz these are horribly plain. =/
