The Google 3D Warehouse gives you access to millions of 3D web-based models so a user can upload or download them in SketchUp. There are vast oceans of 3D content available in layers with each layer containing catalogues.
The 3D Warehouse is a data source to 3D models from real-world architects, game modelers and designers. These catalogs are benefitting designers and consumers to visualize their specifications for the 3D content.
If you are an architect or civil engineer using Autodesk Revit, or a game developer using Maya or even the Open Source Blender. And you want to increase the impact of an interactive environment. That’s where STYLY allows you to incorporate with 3D Warehouse. You can start it by the help of a web-browser.
