A guy named Dan who commented on my blog introduced me to Google Sketchup, and we got hooked immediately! You can create 3D renderings of your house or any object you desire, and the best part is that it's free to download! There are even premade 3D sketches of things you can add to your own Sketchup (for example, mid-century modern furniture even!)
Jan got so into it, that he did a DETAILED rendition of our house, including the doors, windows and cedar siding that will look pretty close to reality.
We're still working on the interior and garageport, but here's our completed exterior of our house!

See how much detail you can put into it, look at our Crestview Door that we're going to use ... it's very cool, but very timeconsuming to draw up!
We're excited! Jan is going to finish this baby up and we'll probably post an animation of our house on You Tube for you to see later.

it is a great tool isn't it? I've started fiddling with it but never got far enough to do anything worth posting. It's also great to be able to see a virtual tour of your place. when's the estimated date of completion? Hope you guys are able to take some breaks and enjoy some SXSW. - maxmsf
Wow! I am impressed, you
Wow! I am impressed, you guys did a wonderful job with the rendering. I wish I would know how to do that.

It's easy and free to use Google Sketchup!
If you have extra time in your schedule, you can teach yourself because it's free!
