Official Google Blog: A great day for 3D
Yesterday Google announced they were giving away the basic version of their new Google SketchUp software for free.
What is more, you can park your 3D model objects on Google Earth and upload them to the 3D Warehouse: their giant 3D object repository. Google's contribution to the repository is that it is searchable, just like the web.
Wow, it is like they are creating the building blocks for a MMORPG.
All they need are the players and the rules!

The new Google SketchUp is for the do-it-yourselfer, the hobbyist %u2014 really anyone who wants to build 3D models for use in Google Earth. Go ahead and model that new kitchen, or deck, landscape your virtual garden, or impress your teacher with a roller coaster or medieval castle. When you%u2019re finished, place your model in Google Earth. There! The beginning of a virtual world. Warning: don%u2019t start messing with this stuff after dinner because your first experience could be an all-nighter%u2026 making an idea come to life in 3D can be very addicting.And what could be better than that? Well, sharing your work with everyone else through the 3D Warehouse. Accessible through both versions of SketchUp, 3D Warehouse enables you to upload, search, browse, view, and download SketchUp models. Just as you do with Google search, enter some keywords and the 3D Warehouse shows you all your options.
