I found a really great program while perusing Google Earth yesterday. Once I’d upgraded it to a newer version, I was asked if I wanted to be able to create 3d models to plae in the real environment of Google Earth. Being fairly explorative and curious, I clicked yes… Only to discover that it led me a program called Google Sketchup. Obviously one of Googles more quieter and less could I say hostile takeovers… Anyway, it happened to be an immense program that you can create buildings mainly, but really anything that you want. Mac and PC, it is cool with both, but it isn’t yet UB, so us cool Intel Mac dude shall have to wait a bit (in two ways… firstly for the beachball to stop spinning whilst it does stuff and secondly until they actually release a UB version). So go look… www.sketchup.com
Meanwhile my OSX Media Lounge is coming along fairly well, I have almost completed the base of the case only to discove that the steel that I used to consruct it is a bit too flimsy to support all of the components. Guess I’ll have to do somethng else with it… I may get some pictures up soon…
