Cannery Cafe in 3D

3D modeling computer programs allow you to make drawings that really pop. I experimented with Sketchup to build local landmarks literally from the ground up. 

Google Earth provided the building footprints and Sketchup offered the set of tools for transforming them into three dimensional structures. Every project was fun, even though I used the free no-frills version of Sketchup.

Here's a personal favorite, locally known as Cannery Cafe. The restaurant has gone through several iterations including Granny's Diner, which was regularly featured on Once Upon a Time - a popular TV series located in fictional town of Storybrooke, Maine.
