SketchUp free version now
A great day for 3D: The new Google SketchUp is for the do-it-yourselfer, the hobbyist - really anyone who wants to build 3D models for use in Google Earth. Go ahead and model that new kitchen, or deck, landscape your virtual garden, or impress your teacher with a roller coaster or medieval castle. When you’re finished, place your model in Google Earth. There! The beginning of a virtual world. Warning: don’t start messing with this stuff after dinner because your first experience could be an all-nighter.. making an idea come to life in 3D can be very addicting.
Fantabulous!
Blogosphere’s speculation about a free version was right after all! I download the pack and tried it just now, and I must tell you, it’s really really awesome. Not only that, even a six year old kid can do it. That easy! Yes, I know and before you say it, I am feeling like one. Architects would—I think—wet their pants in joy. I am now!
