I can't keep up with Google's new releases and features but this one caught my eye: Google SketchUp was announced on their blog yesterday. What does it do? 3D modelling.
The new Google SketchUp is for the do-it-yourselfer, the hobbyist — 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’re finished, place your model in Google Earth. There! The beginning of a virtual world.
