Modeling: is it possible without using sketchup?

percolaten · 09-16-2023, 09:41 AM

Hey y'all,
I'm on an older Mac thats' system doesn't support sketchup. I'm wondering if it's possible to edit the 3D fields in a way that doesn't require sketchup...I specifically want to add in-play bullpens to some of the classic parks that had them in real life. Is this possible without sketchup? Any answers and/or tips will be much appreciated, thanks!

Blender is a great (and FREE) alternative. Like ketchup, not a small learning curve.

Ooh. Maybe I should look into that. I've got a lot of time sunk into making things work with Sketchup, but I'm still clinging to the 2017 free version that's no longer supported or kept compatible with 3D Workshop.
