What I'm Up To

Sadly, I don't have time for a long post right now - so I hope to have one tommrow. Until then, here's a short one:Recently Google released an interesting piece of software for free. Google SketchUp. SketchUp is a professional 3D design studio with fantastic power. Google bought the company that makes it (much like when they bought Keyhole and created Google Earth) and, though they continue to sell SketchUp Pro versions, they now also offer a personal home use edition, Google SketchUp. Best part about it: it’s free. So naturally, I got it.
The tutorial says it takes 5 minutes to learn: it’s wrong. It took me more like 4 minutes. That’s right – it is really easy. It’s also a load of fun. I posted with this post a building I made with it. The signs were done in Paint.NET, though I could have done them in anything. The building was done in SketchUp. It took about three minutes. Not very advanced, but shows you what a beginner can do in no time a all.
