Hello,

Google knows that stopping is suicide for a commercial company so that it advances day by day. For this reason, Google creates new products in its contents everyday. Here, we don’t have the intention of increasing our ratings by announcing news about Google. However, when the subject is 3D modelling and our old great friend SketchUp, we have to write about it.

SketchUp is a software that enables us to make 3D modelling with its very easy and user-friendly interface. I don’t know when Google bought it, and whether Bill Gates was angry about it or not, but they also take it among its utilities. I believe that you should take a look at it. As it can also be understood from its name, SketchUp is a preliminary sketch tool. However, it has advanced capabilities for a sketching tool.

Here is what you can do with SketchUp:

• Simple modelling works like woodwork model, house, deck etc.
• Adding texture material like wood, grass to the model.
• Placing models that we have created into Google Earth
• Sharing your models with others by using 3D Warehouse.

If you skip the free version and ask what prof version can do, here are the capabilities of prof version:

• Use your models in CAD, photo editor and rendering programs.
• Creating movies from your Model
• Taking scaled print-outs from your model.

What can I say… I tried it and it looks really fine. You can download it from the links below and try it also.
