Last class we learned about
Sketchup. Sketchup is an application that one has to download on their computer
to make three-dimensional models. We were told to download Sketchup Make rather
than Sketchup Pro since that one costs a lot since it has much more functions.
I believe Sketchup was formerly owned by Google and now it is owned by a
company called Trimble Navigation. Online, if you search the Sketchup 3D
Warehouse, you can find models that people have submitted for others to use to
get started. In class, we were told to create a vehicle of some sort as well as
a city. As someone who isn’t a technological person, it is difficult for me to
figure out how to use it and make something. I think it’s a great gateway to
three-dimensional modeling for newbies that aren’t “techy” and I am happy my
professor enlightened our class with this program. He told our class that in the
future, our world is going to be swamped by a “tsunami of 3D”. Meaning, in the
future, three-dimensional things are going to run our world. So those who know
3D, will survive. This is why I’m happy that my professor has introduced us to
a program that allows anyone to access the freedom of three-dimensional
modeling.
