Top 10 Google Products You Forgot All About - Lifehacker
Google Sketchup is great, and really fun to use; but yes, it has a couple of bad drawbacks. Main one is you can't export 3d models in any format other than Google's. So you can upload things to Google Earth and Google 3D Warehouse, but you can't do any serious 3D rendering without the full version. The other (minor) drawback is that it's really only a modeler; you've got very little control over lighting and such. I still use it a lot, though, mostly for quick and dirty reference for art projects. 10/24/07 11:02am
