Have any of you seen or used this yet? A buddy of mine told me about it at lunch the other day and I've been playing with it since. I can't believe I used to mess around with MS Paint!

It's a 3d modeling program that is ridiculously easy to use. Some awesome features are texturing ability and that you can actually "build" your house and upload it to Google Earth so that people can see it. I don't know exactly how that works but I'm gonna build myself a building and upload it 5.gif!

You can click http://download.sketchup.com/GSU/tut...P_Start_2.html to see it in action or http://download.sketchup.com/GSU/tut...ingPhotos.html for a quick video of how it uses textures from photos. Fule tutorial page here.http://sketchup.google.com/tutorials.html Awesome stuff!

I think we should hold a contest to see who can build the coolest ______ (<--- insert subject here)!.

I have used it in the past for small projects. Its good because you can throw together something in 10 minutes rather than Maya which can take me hours!
