Google Sketchup


At Recreate Conference we were to give one of the technologies that we've discovered during the last year that has revolutionized our worship planning. Back in October I discovered a little free program from Google called SKETCHUP . It is a 3D modeling program that is tied into Google Earth. You can get it here. There are also some amazing videos on You Tube that walk you through the tutorials (check out the Sketchup Show (Episodes 1-43 now available and very interesting). It takes some time to master some of the tricks, but when you do, you can model your environment before you build or change any sets. We use it to look at possibilities for stage pieces and emphasis. It's one of the best things I've discovered this year.

What are you finding out there?
