In this Episode

In this episode, I’ll tell you a little bit about myself; How I got started with Sketchup, and why I started MasterSketchup.com. I’ll then explain the purpose of this podcast, and what you can come to expect from future episodes. It’s going to be a little bit different from what you’ve come to expect on the website. I’ve got a lot of exciting things coming up for the podcast, and I really hope you enjoy it.
In the main segment of this episode, I’ll talk about Trimble, the company who now owns Sketchup. I’ve checked out some of the other companies they own (besides Sketchup), and I found a number of them are software companies. Some of them are even 3D modeling programs. Really interesting insight into Trimble, I hope you enjoy it. If you missed any of the links mentioned in the episode, you can get them below.

- How I got introduced to Sketchup
- Why I find Sketchup to be a fun and easy 3D modeling program

hoi, Matt,

can you please give me the category and the subcategory ?

greetings,

Hi Rik,
The podcast has been submitted to Itunes and is currently under review. I will update the page once it’s accepted.
It’s a wonderful idea.
I am an interior designer and use SU daily, for many years.
Currently I’m following even an evening course SU, a normal level, and yet I am always surprised how much I still learning.
There is so much to do with SU in different disicplines.
I really also want to create a blog, but then in dutch version and focused on interior design. Everyone can not easily follow in another language. I would like it to work with other people, like you for example.
Follow me on http://www.behance.net/dannydufait and http://pinterest.com/dannydufait/
Sorry for my english, I’m so different language.
Hi Danny, I like your work. Personally, I haven’t even begun to dive into the world of rendering Sketchup models. Like you said, there’s so much to learn. Even with such a simple program like Sketchup. FYI, I’ve been uploading captions to most of my YouTube videos, and you can select your native language and it will translate for you. Perhaps that would be helpful. Keep up the good work.
It’s in Itunes now.
Thanks Dave, I just noticed it this morning.
