Google snapped up this 3D software a bit ago and there was a lot of speculation that this move was coming. Basically, this piece of software lets even beginners into 3D modelling with very simple commands that create very impressive results.
Most existing three-dimensional drawing software is highly technical and hard to use, he said, so it limits the audience to architects, structural engineers, graphics artists and the like.

By comparison, Google SketchUp, the free version of SketchUp's software available for download at http://sketchup.google.com/ , consists of less than a dozen basic commands for drawing.
I've actually played with the demo a bit ago and was very impressed. I'm just glad I held off on purchasing it for the technology center here at Juniata.
