SketchUp (Google)

[cerebrus]

Anyone of you using SketchUp? I jsut downloaded it today, it is quite fun. Modelled the kitchen that my parents are renovating, so much better then looking at 2D plans. You can get it from here. Really impressive, for free software. :thumbsup:

ya... Maya draw better sphere than sketchup, but sketchup's learning curve is shorter with its drag stretch capability, which really make 3D sketching damn easy & fast, even those who have not use before any CAD software can use, and the add-ons are free to download over the net, like a few must get is spiral, auto generate views and port to pdf etc...

Yeah, I have the student ed of Maya. Its learning curve is really steep. Sketchup on the other hand is much easier to use, especially if you just want to do something simple.

No one told google this is not the right direction towards world domination?
Google Earth was a great move towards that though...
