Sketch Up...amazing, free


We're now getting a bit deeper into the project and Ali Ray of Ecofutures Building quickly developed a 3D model using Sketch Up. I'd never heard of this program before. It's a free download from Google (there's a Pro version but the free version is pretty powerful now). It's really incredible. I can't wait to play with it a bit more. Allows you to generate a 3D model that you can 'walk around', etc. This is one of those example of how technology really does open up a world to those of us who otherwise would never have the skills or computing power to even think about this. Once we're a bit further along, I should be able to post a 3D version on my website. For now, I just posted a 2D snapshot of it. Fun!
