|
| Sketchup has become a popular 3D modeling program for everything from origami to
| |
| 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. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
