This paper will describe the design and evolution of an open source Ruby plug-in for Google SketchUp that allows geometry with UVW mapping to be exported for integration within a popular first person computer game (UT2004 and UT3 by Epic games). It will illustrate the advantages of this simplified workflow by discussing the range of complex geometries, lighting, atmospherics and interactive opportunities arrived at by students at the University of New South Wales School of Architecture. The paper will use examples of work generated using this new workflow to critically reflect on previous efforts in the use of computer games technology for architectural representation. An argument is made that while the instability that characterized comput...
