Google is
distributing a 3D software program called SketchUp for free. There are
paid versions as well, but if you are looking to have fun with 3D and
want to model your home to upload to Google Earth you can share your
creations. There are already a number of 3D compatible models available
to download and work with from Google.
It is really great
to have an open ended 3D program that models can be shared with others
for free. It can give a person the ability to learn 3D graphics without
investing a small fortune in software programs and models.
It looks like it
is intended for drawing buildings and incorporating the satellite images
available off of the internet. You can design an addition to your home
or remodel your kitchen. It looks like it could lend itself well to
landscape designers with the use of the Google Earth Maps satellite
imaging.
SketchUp Pro 5 is
the professional version and costs $495.00. It offers more features
than the free version. It is able to cast real-time shadows, you can
customize the keyboard. The program comes with a large collection of
ready to go trees, cars and people. There are extra tools for modeling
organic shapes. There is additional movie camera features. There is
option to import and export models from various software programs.
SketchUp Pro 5
version also has interactive presentation support for large-format, high
resolution printing. You also get two years of technical support via
email with the purchase of the professional version. You can download
and try the SketchUp Pro 5 for and 8 hour trial before deciding if you
want to purchase the program.
