- [George] Have you ever wanted to create 3D models in a simple, easy-to-use package that happens to be free? Well, SketchUp Free might just be that package. Hi, I'm George Maestri. Today we're going to take a look at SketchUp Free, a 3D package that runs in a browser. We're going to take a look at how to use the package, how to draw your own 3D objects as well as how to add texture, materials, and lighting, so sit down and join me while we take a look at SketchUp Free.
