Free Sketchup

Well, it finally happened. Google is offering a version of Sketchup for free.

I saw my nephew playing with this app a few months ago. He picked it up very very quickly. It's very simple and very powerful. It's certainly not Blender or Max or Lightwave, but it's so easy it's alarming. Now someone just has to write an import script for Blender.

So far it's Winders only, but a Mac version is coming soon.
