With its aim to blend the work of artist and homeowner, this is an awesome tool that anybody can utilize as long as they are interested. What exactly is it? Put simply, Sketchup is a modeling program in 3D that is optimized for a wide range of applications in the fields of architecture, engineering and video game design.
What makes it more attractive compared to other 3D programs
is its ease of use that even non-designers can create a building or home design
on their own. It has a repository of model assemblies such as doors,
automobiles, entourage, windows and many more, that can be dragged and dropped during
the designing process. The 3D Warehouse feature easily facilitates the users to
download and locate free models. Plus, it has a thriving community that aims
to help each other so, sharing and collaborating on the Sketchup platform is easy.
It was formerly owned by Google which utilized its models
for placement in Google Earth. But last April, it was acquired by Trimble and
more developments should be expected from this. We are also going to feature more of Sketchup improvements on our future posts.
Below are sample creations from Sketchup users.
