Description
SketchUp (formerly Google Sketchup) is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, civil and mechanical engineering, film, and video game design—and available in a freeware version, SketchUp Make. In this hands-on guided training session we will use ‘SketchUp Make’ 3D editing software to explore basic 3D modelling.
This 2 hour training session will teach you how to create and edit 2D shapes and 3D objects. This course will provide basic training that will help master high-end 3D modelling software products like Autodesk’s 3dsmax and Maya or the open source product Blender. If you are interested in 3D printing, this course will increase your understanding of rapid prototyping focused products like Solidworks or Slic3er.
