Sketchup Pro
Sketchup is a powerful 3D modeling tool with robust functionality that allows designers to explore and communicate projects, import and export various file formats, and create interactive presentations. It is a widely used software in the world, in particular by architects, landscapers but also for the presentation of events, the design of 3D objects. SketchUp models are made up of lines and faces. A non parametric 3D modeling software. In SketchUp, you are not limited to creating walls, slabs, roofs ... You draw edges which, when they touch at the ends in a closed outline and when they are located in the same plane, create automatically one side.
Advantages of Sketchup
- SketchUp is simple fast and intuitive software compared to other 3D modeling software.
- You can already make simple models after only a few hours of learning.
- SketchUp makes it possible to produce models made up of few faces.
- Due to its non parametric modeling principle, SketchUp is suitable for a large number of uses.
- It has a large collection of free components with the 3D Warehouse.
- There are a large number of plugins, many of which are free like Twilight rendering to create realistic renderings.
Training course
In this training you will learn Sketchup Pro from the start. Through a step by step learning process, you will be able, at the end of the training, to work entirely on Sketchup by yourself to succeed in your projects. After getting started with a good basics with the workspace, you will learn the design tools with concrete examples. Then, we can switch to learning components, materials, the creation of scenes and much more. A general project will be discussed at the end of the training, with the creation of a basic house, step by step, allowing to see all the elements of the course.
