Grish Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Figured I would post this don't know if anyone else has....this is a free service via Google you can build your own 3D models, it is called skecth up. here is an example (no I did not do it, it was in their model area)... figured those who like to build fields and stadiums might be interested...

I Am A Flaming Douche Bag Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thats very interesting. Might have to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedsNine Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I started using this program around a year ago and I must say that this program is pretty nice after using it for awhile. However, the program slows down if you make a very detailed model. I made a miller park model and I thought it turned out alright. My File is already nearly 90MB. A few pics from the model I made: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Tried it once...never really got the hang of it...perhaps someone can point me to some nice stadium-building tutorials?I prefer to draw my custom stadiums. It comes more natual to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytown_state fan Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Wow first post in a very long time, but what a great site this is.. Thanks CC.Anyways Google Sketch is really cool for schools or teams which are building new stadiums and want to show them to the fans before they build them.... For instance the U of Akron is building a $55.7 million dollar stadium, using this once the renderings are finalized, their fans can have a good idea of what it will look like!

Joely Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Best new design tool in my opinion...I work at an architecture firm where we do loads of visualisations for clients - NedsNine - change the settings to run at a lower visual quality whilst building, i find that makes it run faster (as obviously not havign shadows on does too)...the best aspect is that you can import drawings straight from autocad - so the detail is done on a programme that supports lots of lines, and is easier to get acurate dimensions and geometry and then you simply render in sketchup...genius i'd like to do a version of the pepsi center in colorado - any idea where i can find dmiensions or a pattern?

whalersjets Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 How about a link people? sketchup.google.comAs maz said, I used it a few times and really didn't understand it. They have good tutorials though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sec19Row53 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 (not trying to pull a Craven here) This ought to get bumped over to the General Design Forum - it fits in better there and might get more comment. Very cool, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
