That all this is designed on? Google Sketchup.

Hands down the most frustrating program to start learning. But there is a 4am "lightbulb" eureka moment where it all makes sense, and then you can do some amazing things with it.

And of course, NOW they have tutorials on it up on youtube. Go watch those, and save yourself hours and days of frustration when you start. Do you find this valuable?

Yeah, fun stuff, but like most 3D programs, a total beyatch to learn. I started with using other people's models and editing them to make a city block under attack by Z's. I made a broken-down Stryker that I quite impressed myself with. Then, I tried making my own stuff, mainly buildings.

Just remember that doing things with this might take more time than you anticipate.

Pedro, you think this is frustrating? Try "Blender". 0_0 Do you find this valuable?

But at least that has the tutorial. I didn't have the Sketchup one. So when you do something in Sketchup, and the outcome is different to your expectation, and also the last result doing what appears to be the same thing, it gets frustrating.

And that Blender looks amazing. If I had the time, I might give it a go. Do you find this valuable?
