Johnny's Software Saloon

Weblog where I discuss things that really interest me. Things like Java software development, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Macintosh software, Cocoa, Eclipse IDE, OOP, content management, XML technologies, CSS and XSLT document styling, artificial intelligence, standard document formats, and cool non-computing technologies.

I like writing software, listening to music (mostly country and rock but a little of everything), walking around outside, reading (when I have the time), relaxing in front of my TV watching my TiVo, playing with my cat, and riding around in my hybrid gas/electric car.

SketchUp - 3D Warehouse

Google wasted no time bringing up a communal repository of Sketchup 3D models on their website.

SketchUp - 3D Warehouse:
The new 3D Warehouse is an online location where you can find and share 3D models.


This is kind of exciting because in the last year and a half, interest in 3D models has exploded.

Long a staple of product designers and movie makers, the public's thirst for 3D models began to sky-rocket with the introduction of MMORPGs. Two really well known ones are World of Warcraft and Second Life.

These two games rally incredible sized legions of programmers from around the world to be entertained by exploring a giant simulated world.

Sketchup there is an easy tool that everyday people can use to create exciting 3D models. It is free from Google.

And now there is a public repository to share those models at.
