google strikes again!
After google acquired the software company @LAST, maker of the 3D modeler SketchUP, they now come up with the 3D Warehouse.
This is an online library of free 3D objects, originally intended as a database for GoogleEarth Buildings, it is now filling up with all sorts of objects.
They are all in the proprietary SketchUP format .skp (and we all hate sketchup...).... but can easyly be exported in almost all other programs like Cinema 4D, FormZ, 3D Studio, Rhino and the like….
So now you can begin to populate your 3D Scenes with some fancy International or historical Architecture or just get the model of a bed for your interiors.
As a bonus Google released a free version of SketchUP, so that every one can upload his building to the database of GoogleEarth.
SketchUP free is available for PC only at the moment (so i cannot tell you where the cutbacks are), but the full Version is available for both MAC and PC.
