Playing with Light and Shadows in Google SketchUp

What's the first thing anyone says when they are looking at a new home, or when they go to visit a friend's home for the first time. "Look at all the light!" and "Wow, does this place ever see a lot of natural light!" may be just a few of the comments that are heard. Natural light makes everything look bigger and better so naturally, it's one of the first things that people look at in any structure. In this Google SketchUp tutorial, Mike walks us through playing with light and shadows using the design of a home that has been recently remodeled. Once inside SketchUp and inside the home, Mike shows us how to make the shadows more visible and how to even change them depending on the time of day. Google SketchUp has even gone so far as to let you choose a different city or country, so you can make sure that your light and shadows always look on the computer the way they'll look in real life. What other program is going to let you do that? Check it all out here and see just how cool it is for yourself!
