My background is in motion picture special effects. At work, we use 3D software like Houdini, Maya and Katana, so I am well versed in those. But I need to do some home remodeling and since I would not need any animation capabilities and I don't want to spend much money on buying a personal copy for infrequent use, I was thinking of taking a crack at Sketchup Free for that at home.
In the near future, however, I may get into some simple CnC and possibly 3D printing. So I am thinking that if I am going to send time learning a new software I might as well do it on something that may be useful later on for those new applications. Sketchup seems to offer a fairly low learning curve, but can it export the data required for CnC and/or 3D printing?
Thank you.
