Igloo Studios was founded in 2005 to help design firms create better 3D presentations. We’d stumbled upon this great tool called SketchUp and thought we could help others integrate it into their professional workflow. Fast-forward to the present, and we’ve evolved into a company dedicated to creating 3D content and software applications that help the design industy visualize and sell products and projects using Google SketchUp.
