Introducing Google SketchUp
It looks like Google SketchUp is now live. But besides enabling users to put mock ups on Google Earth, I’m having a hard time seeing how this acquisition fits into its Google’s overall search strategy. Still, it looks pretty cool and will probably be great for branding. Plus, I believe that if it’s cool enough, a revenue model will follow.
A free trial version is available for download, but it’s currently only available on Windows. Alternatively, if you’d like to see a great, fully-featured, open-source 3D graphics and animation suite, check out Blender. It’s definitely not as sleek as Google SketchUp, but it’s much more functional.
