Hi all,

A tiny tutorial to introduce textures (get it here) was updated with a defy to estimulate the use of Sketchup's texture editing features. Wanna try it?

Remember the models kids like to build on paper? These slim models can be a nice, easy and appealing inspiration for 3D modeling initiation.

Note that you will need to fine-tune the texture appliance using texture editing features as referred on the tutorial (get it here).
