SketchUp for Designers
SketchUp is a powerful and versatile 3D modelling tool which enables you to create realistic floor plans and interior models. You’ll explore the 3D Warehouse, the world’s largest online library, to import furniture and lighting.
Once you have learnt the fundamentals you will apply your new skills to an interior residential project, building a model from the ground up and adding furniture, lighting and finishes. You will also model the terrain of the site, add site information and learn how to create animations.
With your model complete you’ll then render it in SU Podium, enabling you create to photorealistic visuals to add to your portfolio. This program runs completely inside SketchUp from start to finish and makes use of the SketchUp features that you’re already familiar with to achieve impressive results. SU Podium is easy to grasp for beginners and the simple interface and versatile presets cut the learning curve to minutes instead of months.
Please note: Whilst this short course has been created for those working in the design or construction industry you’ll need little or no experience in this software, only enthusiasm! In order to complete the course you will need to purchase a student version of SketchUp ($88) to practice at home and complete your assessment.
On completion of this course you will receive a Statement of Attainment towards the Diploma of Interior Design.
