| Here is the scoop on the Google Sketchup portion of the meeting:
| | === Virtual Social: Thursday May 9th === |
| | 6 pm |
|
| |
|
| Sketchup has become a popular 3D modeling program for everything from origami to
| | [https://us04web.zoom.us/j/71107225798?pwd=duL4JavI8eklmAgVNaDch8kBllLxUf.1 Meeting link] |
| professional architectural rendering. Currently available in free and pro versions
| |
| from Google, the program has continued to evolve since its initial release in 2000
| |
| by @Last Software founders Brad Schell and Joe Esch.
| |
| This presentation will focus on the free version 8. We'll introduce the basic
| |
| geometry construction tools and demo features such as components, materials, styles,
| |
| fog, shadows, scene animation, and the use of Ruby scripts to customize and extend
| |
| Sketchup's capabilities. We'll visit Google's 3Dwarehouse to download models, and
| |
| geo-locate a building on Google Earth. Whether you dream of turning your personal
| |
| fabrication vision into a 3d prototype or just want to virtually rearrange your
| |
| living room furniture, see if Sketchup might become a useful part of your toolset.

| === Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
| |
| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics.
