Google Sketchup
Picked up on a really good software a few days ago - Google sketcher. Apparently they bought the software from a third party company and then worked on it to meet their requirements. This software is meant to resemble something like a watered down version of 3d Studio Max or Maya - just have everything 'simplified and easier' to use. I've used it a couple of times already and beliee me it's so much less overwhelming than the other two, you don't get overloaded with options but have a limited choice to stop you from going crazy.

(example of what can be done in sketchup)
What they have also cleverly done is integrate it in with their other software Google World. This allows people to draw up architectural landmarks and place in it's correct geographical possition - as if you were really looking at it when you look at the map on you screen. I do like analysing other peoples 3d artwork but never have the time to actually pick up the skill myself, so I think I'll actually give this a go. And since I like the sound of this software I'm thinking of using it to create my final piece for this module. What I have in mind is to recreate something obviusly visible in reality within the Google Sketchup software and then play some real time sounds within it to add that lil something extra. Betta get down to it and see how it goes.
