SketchUp day!!

For the past 7 hours, I had sat in front of my computer doing sketchUp thingy.
I tried to use it a couple times before and found out that it is quit master piece of software, especially it is FREE. Yet, it still lacks of some functions that other 3d modeling software has, like making a sphere, lighting effect.
In many other 3D modeling software, they already have a sphere that I could create so easily without going through the "follow me" steps. I found a tutorial online that teach us how to make a sphere in sketchUp. Yet, it is quit not a convenience thing to do and the "follow me" function does not work as I expected, like it will become part of the object which my shape follow. I was having trouble deleting some of the follow me object that I have previously made....I just kept deleting the part of model that I want to keep.
On the other hand, I was looking for ways that I could put different lights in the model. However, I only could find a plus-in that I need to pay for it...Well.. I am a "freetard" also..like our professor. I love to use software that are free..lols.
So back to my project, I am still working on it. I think I have done most of the "building part." I have not done the coloring and putting photo yet. I think I gonna put a stop for today because I have a lot of other projectss need to be done, like twelve more blogs..lols..
I was going to put up the model I have done so far...but I decide not to do so now..
Just to make it secret. lols.
