This is an image of a 3D model I made with Google SketchUp. I entitled the model, Autumn Sunday Afternoons, because this is the setting where you can find most men at that particular time. It took a while to get used to the controls and figure out what to do, but once I got the hang of it, it gets pretty easy to manipulate. I also thought it was really cool how you can import images as textures, which is how I created the Coke can. I think that Google SketchUp can be a very useful and innovative tool that can open up another dimension of creativity (no pun intended). It seems to be very useful for architects and people that must design in 3D environments and virtual reality worlds. It is being used by Google Maps to create realistic models of actual places and buildings in order to take virtual tours of the place. The places can actually be located and visited on Google Earth. Many people are also using almost as a hobby, like a virtual version of building model airplanes and ships. Many different models and buildings can be seen at the Google 3D Warehouse.

This is a neat combination of effects. The coke can was a nice touch! You can see how you could create a new kind of art form out of the combination of geometric shapes and textures. How might this be more effective than putting stuff in SL? Less?
