Not only does it help to visualise and contextualise a real environment it appears to save the time and hassle of complex and varied viewing angles for story-telling. Definitely won over with this!

Grae...Hi Bruce, I'm using Version 7 currently.<br /><br />Graeme - yeah it is very intuitive. There's some things I wish it did even more simply, but that's mostly because I am a simpleton and need to rtfm a bit more!<br /><br />I've totally benefitted this week from having put the time into some models of complex environments which the client wanted to see from different angles before plonking for one or another sketch. Whilst *of course* it wouldn't do to let one's drawing ability dwindle, when you have a set of buildings in an epic location, it doesn't half save a lot of really complex redrawing (often to little gain if its not the shot the client wants) if you have a model to work from...Jon Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890693554667180093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-354298192322822874.post-22758275182682009502009-07-20T21:24:44.849+01:002009-07-20T21:24:44.849+01:00I played around with Sketchup about six months bac...I played around with Sketchup about six months back and found it pretty easy to use. I was getting ready for a job that involved drawing a fleet of spaceships so I mocked up a quick version of the ship design and used it to get all the different angles needed for the illustration. Very useful if you have the time to do it. Just like you though Jon I ended up not needing to use it and I've never been back to use it since. I reckon it could be a great benefit if you where doing a job where the environment was going to be used over and over again like say in a comic book.
