Google SketchUp - 3D Modeling Software
Google SketchUp is software that Google recently acquired. It’s aimed at architects and designers, since it lets users create 3D drawings. Its features are pretty much like AutoCAD’s, but it’s free, unlike the expensive AutoCAD. Also, it can make 3D drawings (AutoCAD might be able to as well, @@). Anyway, in short, it’s a really great program~~ (for designers). Also, according to the official Google SketchUp website, if you know the Ruby programming language, you can write your own plugins for it (too bad it’s not VB). Note: Google SketchUp comes in two versions, one paid and one free. Features: Free Supports plugins Quickly and accurately create 3D models Can export to 3DS, OBJ, XSI, FBX, EPS, PDF, VRML, EPX, DAE, and KMZ files Program Info: Software name: Google SketchUp File size: 31.7 MB (Google SketchUp 6) Official website: http://sketchup.google.com/ Tutorials: http://sketchup.google.com/support/?hl=zh-TW Plugins: http://sketchup.google.com/download/plugins.html . ...
