Last month Google purchased @Last Software for an undisclosed sum of money.
Yesterday they released Google SketchUp, a free version of their 3D modeling software, which makes Google’s long-time vision of making 3D accessible to everyone a reality.
According to a Google report they’re still offering SketchUp Pro 5 for design professionals like architects, designers, builders, art directors and game developers. Both Google SketchUp and SketchUp Pro 5 enable you to place models in Google Earth; Pro users get some additional features.
The best part about Google SketchUp? It’s free for personal use and no registration is required.
Thanks Google for another cool development tool!
