Fun with SketchUp

I’ve just discovered SketchUp, a fun 3-d drawing program that Google bought out today.

Anyway, I gave the Mac version a quick try, and after about 15 minutes I finished this mockup of Olin’s Academic Center.

Academic Center

This took me about 15 minutes and is my first 3-d rendering in SketchUp. It’s loosely based on Olin College’s Academic Center. I didn’t strive for too much accuracy, but the general idea is there.

It’s pretty fun to play with. The interface is golden.
