Sketchup Modeling – AulaGEO

In this course, we will learn the basics of sketch up and create a 3D model of house right from scratch in details. After complete modeling, we will have a quick lecture on V-Ray and we will render the exterior of that house in V-ray.

#AulaGEO

Lesson 1 – Introduction

In this lesson, we will have a short introduction of software “sketch up” by getting a little know how about this software, its capabilities and over all usage.

Lesson 2 – Hot Keys

In this session, we will learn some hot keys commonly used in sketchup. The purpose of showing these keys in start of course is to make students aware of these keys so that they could use through out the course and learn well.

Lesson 3 – Jump Start

In this session, we will have a quick jump start with sketch up. Starting with very basic tools and techniques that will be used in next sessions necessary to create the 3D model.

Lesson 4 – AutoCAD to Sketch up Conversion

In this session, we will learn how to import .dwg format to sketch up as .dwg is standard format of Autodesk AutoCAD which is one of the most commonly used format for 2D layouts.

Lesson 5 – 2D Layout Infrastructure

In this session, we will learn how to create basic infrastructure of our future 3D model by making a tentative 2D layout.

Lesson 6 – 2D Layout Openings

In this session, we will use previously drawn 2D layout and learn how to create some openings for doors, windows and vents.

Lesson 7 – Grouping

In this session, we will learn the benefits and usage of grouping. We will use previously drawn 2D layout and start creating groups for each section.

Lesson 8 – Wall Group

In this session, we will use the knowledge of Grouping learnt in last session to create a separate group for walls.

Lesson 9 – Group Assembling and Disassembling

In this session, we will learn how to assemble and disassemble groups for ease of access and editing purposes.

Lesson 10 – 3D Layout Openings

In this session, we will use previously drawn 3D layout and learn how to create some openings for doors, windows and vents.

Lesson 11 – Stairs

In this session, we will learn how to create a separate group for stairs and make 3D stairs from ground level to roof top.

Lesson 12 – Ramp

In this session, we will learn how to create a separate group for ramp and make 3D ramp along with few other areas.

Lesson 13 – Parapet Wall

In this session, we will learn how to create a separate group for parapet wall and make fencing wall throughout the border of rooftop.

Lesson 14 – Access 3D Warehouse

In this session, we will learn how to access different models of supported in sketch up from a free source specially created for Sketch up called 3D Warehouse.

Lesson 15 – Adding Door

In this session, we will learn how to add three different doors to existing 3D house model.

Lesson 16 – Adding Main Gate

In this session, we will learn how to add two different main gates to existing 3D house model.

Lesson 17 – Adding Windows

In this session, we will learn how to add window to existing 3D house model.

Lesson 18 – Making Scenes and Exporting Videos

In this session, we will learn how to make scenes, create animation and export video in MP4 format using Sketch up.

Lesson 19 – Adding Materials

In this session, we will learn how to add materials from Sketch up material library to our existing 3D house model.

Lesson 20 – How to Render

In this session, we will learn how to render Sketch up model using different software and plugins as Sketch up do not support in house rendering option.

Lesson 21 – Basics of V-Ray

In this session, we will learn how to use basics of V-Ray. We will have a jump-start to use V-Ray materials, lights and object like fur etc.

Lesson 22 – Rendering Sketch up Model using V-Ray

In this final session, we will completely render our existing 3D house model gradually. We will learn how to add materials, infinity plane, lights, fur etc. from basics.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
