Today, 13th of may, I created these sketchup models.

In the afternoon of the 6th, I wasnt present, but we were introduced to Sketchup, a Google program that is very simple yet often very frustrating because it wont do what you want it to do. its fun to use nevertheless, and you can quickly learn how to make 3D shapes, 3D buildings, 3D text, 3D sketches, whatever, as long as its 3D as you can see. I did the tutorial at home that evening to get to know it a bit, but it still had a lot of options I didnt know about as I found out today whilst making these.

The assignment was to make a kind of gallery and to show your photos in it. This is just a simple gallery, the other one is a bit more experimental, ignoring gravity etc. I have uploaded the skP file here but I dont know if thats enough to open it or if you also need the skB file. Was a bit confusing at first, saving something and having 2 the same file names with different icons… Then I noticed the extensions were slightly different

For those that want to see it in 3D I saved the animation here as an avi. CLICK IT!!

The slightly more experimental gallery: here is the skp file. Or you can just view the screenshot.

I thought it was fun to make, I also stayed at school a lot longer than planned, till 19.00 or so, but I also finished next weeks assignment for Johan, the slideshow/presentation of the text we cut out of the paper.
