How to create an interactive scene by only using 3D models from the Google 3D Warehouse


In this tutorial I'm going to show you how easy creating a cool, interactive scene can be, by just using Google SketchUp and 3D Rad. Zero modeling required!

  • If you haven't done it already, get 3D Rad here.

    If you are new to 3D Rad, please don't miss this quick overview about the editor.


  • Make sure you also have Google SketchUp installed on your system. The free version will be just fine.


    • Finally, install the 3D Rad Exporter plug-in for Google SketchUp by unzipping it to the

    C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Plugins

    folder on your PC.

    Note that the path to the Google Sketchup plug-in folder may be different if you have installed the program to a location other than the default, or if you use a non-English version of Windows.

    Also note that the plug-in will be available under Plugins and not under Files -> Export, in the Google SketchUp pull-down menu.
