Google has recently acquired Sketchup, a neat 3D modeling program. It is now downloadable at Sketchup.Google.com.
Sketchup is not for creating 3D commercial animation and logos (leave that to something like Blender). Sketchup is more for drawing up your own ideas of buildings and stuff like that. I wasn’t too sure about this Sketchup thing at first, because I have not really had any experience with 3D design. I’ve tried Blender, but it takes a lot of practice and learning. Sketchup, however, is shockingly easy to use. After completing the short built-in tutorial, I was blown away at how easy it is to create a somewhat basic model of a house.
If it looks kind of interesting, you should definetely give this a try. You can take a look at what other people have created by checking out the 3D Warehouse.
Pretty cool, I’ll have to try this out when I get home from school. What can I say, other than: <3 Google <3.
This is outstanding. I hope there will be a way to export these models into other programs like Terragen or 3D Studio Max.
