SketchUp (Windows and Mac) is an easy-to-use application that will help you learn how to create 3D models of residential buildings, hangars, garages, roofs, various outbuildings to homes and even spaceships.
With SketchUp, you can easily add details, change the textures, sizes of your models, industrial objects with great accuracy, and place ready models on Google Earth, share them with other people by posting on the 3D Warehouse website or by printing copies.
SketchUp is a great way to find out if you like 3D modeling.
SketchUp includes the following tools:
• Drawing and geometric modeling: Polygon (Polygon), FollowMe (tool for creating simple and complex shapes - circles, ovals, squares, Offset (tool for constructing proportional small copies of the object) and Intersect with Model;
• Design: Dimension, Tape Measure, Protractor, Section Slice, Layers, Area & Length Calculation.
SketchUp allows you to:
• Draw, edit, measure, rotate, and scale geometric shapes;
• Divide the 3D model into sections for viewing and finishing internal parts;
• Apply ready-made textures to the model or create new ones;
• Add ready-made components to your model, such as trees, cars, windows, doors, people or create new ones;
• Retouch, soften facial features;
• Model shadows from objects in real time for any point of the globe;
• Simulate the placement of video cameras;
• Take web excursions;
• Create excursions - presentations;
• Export 2D graphic files (.JPG, .PNG, .TIF, .TGA, BMP) to 3D models (0.3 DS.Dem.DDF.DWG.DXF.CUP);
• Export 2D images of your models (.JPG, .BMP, .PNG, .TIF);
• Print images of models;
• Develop additional applications for the program using the Ruby language.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
