does anyone recommend any easy/beginner software thats free?
just playing with some ideas atm for home, which require some creativeness and would like to show the missus something in colour and 3D rather then my lines and arrows on paper which dont really express my ideas to well out side of my mind.

Cheers!

Apologise for the quality but some layers (vehicles, people, urban furniture, details) had to be turned off so that it would take me actually less than 30 mins to mover around and get a good viewpoint. It was a small part of a Southampton urban design/architecture/engineering masterplanning group project, complete with new cruise terminal but premade ships and sailboats. Note the tunnel, which is genuine and can be "explored". Could have been a lot more polished had I had more time and a more powerful computer!

I whoe heartedly agree with using plain pastel colours though and you cannot beat SketchUp for ease of use.

WOW!
