Introduction We’re back with a bumper issue for February...um March. From seamless textures to laser scanning we have had our hands full testing and reviewing some essential tools every SketchUp and 3D artist should be aware of. First up we have Vistii, from creator Noel Warren, who has tinkered for over a year with the aim to bridge the CAD/CAM process with SketchUp and is now finally ready to unleash Vistii to the masses. If you are looking to get a model machined without having to fuss about with various applications then I highly recommend checking out our preview of Vistii’s CAM plugin for SketchUp. We’ve also some great articles on Soft Shadows from Dave Richards, Aquarium animations by Adriana Granados. One particular item is the ‘Community PC build’ by SketchUp Expert Pete Stoppel which is bringing big savings to US members in the market for a killer SketchUp rig. Enjoy!
