Do you know anything about modeling programs?
3dsmax is a program that costs thousands of dollars if you actually buy it. It is also widely accepted as the best 3d modeling program. Sketchup is.....to put it nicely, poop. Especially for this application. If you do go with sketchup, though, don't buy the full version. Use the demo and ask someone else (like me) to export it. If you have a Mac, though, run a windows virtual machine and install the pro trial on that and the regular demo on the Mac, and export it Iike that. It tends to work out quite nicely, really.
Of course, if you're a student, you can probably get all sorts of kick-ass auto desk software for free (including 3dsmax).
