Scale Modeling using Sketchup

Jul 12, 20134 likes3,783 views

The document discusses using Sketchup software for scale modeling. Some key points: - Sketchup is a 3D modeling tool that can be used to design scale models and print scale plans. It has drawing tools and allows designing to actual measurements. - The process involves finding reference materials, creating scale plans in Sketchup, and then building mockups and models using materials like styrene or wood cut to the scale plans. - Examples are provided of models created in Sketchup, including a railroad station grill, barn, and terminal station. Building a mockup first is recommended to work out complex areas before the final model.

SketchUp is 3D modeling software used for conceptual design. It combines simple tools that streamline 3D design. Key concepts for designing in SketchUp include: - Drawing accurately using the drawing axes as a reference grid. Models are built using precise dimensions. - Using inference to draw geometrically related lines, like perpendicular or tangent. Inference assists with drawing accuracy. - Building models from the ground up by extruding 2D shapes or drawing faces, edges and vertices. Components and groups help organize a model.

Google SketchUp Crash CourseDUSPviz

This document provides a tutorial on using Google SketchUp software. It covers basic modeling tools like drawing shapes and using the push/pull tool to extrude objects. It also discusses more advanced functions such as applying materials, setting up lighting and shadows, saving different camera views as scenes, geo-locating models using Google Earth, and exporting animations. The tutorial instructs the user to practice these skills by proposing a new design for the MIT Kendall Square area in Boston.

The document discusses the basic drawing objects in AutoCAD including lines, circles, rectangles, arcs, splines, polygons, regions, and ellipses. It provides details on how to use the line, circle, and rectangle drawing tools, describing the different methods to select points and specify dimensions to create each object type. Lines are the simplest object and can be used as construction lines to build other parts of the drawing.

Intro to SketchupLynn Langit

Samantha Langit, an 8th grade student raised by techies, presented about the 3D modeling program Sketchup. She demonstrated basic functions like push/pull and rotating objects as well as more complex tools available in the paid version. Samantha highlighted how Sketchup makes it easy to visualize and change designs in 3D. She concluded by noting that she is available to answer further questions and posted the slides online.

The document provides tips for improving 3D models created in SketchUp by addressing some of the software's limitations. It suggests removing outlines to avoid a "cartoony" look, using custom textures that are properly scaled and colored, and modeling more natural landforms and contours rather than simple geometric shapes. The overall message is that with some extra effort on textures, details, and natural shapes, presentable designs can be made in SketchUp despite its weaknesses compared to professional 3D modeling programs.

This tutorial explains the process of rendering a 3D kitchen model using Vray for Sketchup. It discusses the modeling of simple walls, doors, cabinets and fixtures. Key steps covered include lighting setup with Vray rectangular lights and IES lights, using a text sky map for GI and HDR image for BG, camera setup with physical camera and depth of field, and material setup for stainless steel using bump, diffuse and reflection maps. Test renders are shown to compare the Sketchup view with the final rendered results.

Creating lines in sketchupJim Robb

The document discusses how to draw lines in Sketchup to create 3D shapes. It explains that lines should be coplanar to create surfaces and never cross. It provides steps for drawing a straight line using the line tool and measurements box, then drawing a second perpendicular line using inferences to align to existing lines. The goal is to create a closed shape with three line segments to generate a surface inside the closed area.

Sharpening the AxeMediacurrent

A wise man once said "If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend 6 sharpening my axe." Preparation and planning are integral to successful design. Taking the time to define the problem, frame out potential solutions and stoking your creative fire will give you the edge needed to create solid and successful designs. Discovery: Asking the who, what and why's. Sketching: Why you do not want to skip this step. Wireframing: Laying out the foundation for your design. Mockups: Bringing it all together with color, texture and more. Who is this session for: Mostly beginner freelance designers and front-end devs. Shop designers and front-end devs that work on a team may also find this presentation valuable. Along with project managers and other team members involved in the discovery phase.
