Sketchup: Imaginalization & The New Playdough




Images by Draftroots

This design tool has become indispensable to me and my concept development. It is offered as a free online download by google, and has proven to be worth the professional upgrade.
It is extremely user friendly as far as 3d software is concerned. Sketchup is compatible with most popular design software, including autocad. Models can be uploaded to google earth, and shared online through the Model Warehouse feature, an online model sharing library. When an idea/seed needs to be explored, this software is not only an excellent presentation tool, but more importantly allows the designer to visualize an idea,and see whether it works or not. With Sketchup, the designer is only limited to their imagination, and the design is only limited to the idea. Sketchup is the new playdough.
