More 3D models...PDM Young Actors Workshop

This is some work that I did transcribing a blue-print layout for a Theatre design from the 2D layout to the SketchUp 3D image.   The program (SketchUp) is a breeze to work with, not as complicated as conventional 3D programs (but also without animation, a plug-in is required and may cost some money).


I will report more as I create 3D objects.

Google's SketchUp, Learn it and Love it!

I was playing with Google's SketchUp, and I have to say it rocks.   You can build any 3D object with ease.   This is one concept idea I had for a sub-stellar space craft called the Solar Surfer, made to hop local planets with in a solar system.

I certainly intend to port this into a game that teaches the planets just by hopping them on this craft.
