Google Sketchup - awesome free 3D program thats dead easy to learn

Wow, why didn't I find this program before now?

Basically it's a 3D sketching program that is DEAD easy to learn. Don't be intimidated if you never messed with 3D space before; Youøl be making all kinds of cool stuff in no time... and it's free.

Other 3D apps took me months to get proficennt in, this one I picked up in a day of messing around.

They even broke with the fucked up convention of other 3D programs that every movement is in reverse, so you want to move right? Move right. Not like in other 3D apps where you move left to move right, and move down to move up.. WTF is that about, it gives me motion sickness. (Looking at you UT editor, 30 mins editing... oh now I feel sick)

Oh yeah, it integrates with Google Earth. So you can move somewhere in google earth and click on get current view and it will be placed into Sketchup. Now build something and place it back into the real location in google earth and you can watch your creation sitting there in the real location and walk around in it.
