Building Maker being retired June 1st
-
I was just checking out whether there had been any new models from Huddersfield on the 3D Warehouse. There was one new one, I clicked on it and it said it was made with the Building Maker. So I opened up building maker and yes, you are able to create models with Building Maker in just a small town like Huddersfield now.
But with that pleasant shock there's also the unpleasant one that Google are discontinuing Building Maker after June 1st 2013.
I haven't used BM that much, much prefer SU and my SU use has been neglected over the last couple of years. But I'm still disappointed that BM is being ditched. IMO the new automatic generation of 3D models hasn't been sufficiently developed yet to be able to take over from user generated content, but I guess Google have just got bored of the project and are just dumping it now.
