Previous versions of Sketchup (Google Sketchup) were for free and its friendly workspace invites users to try and test as many shapes as you can make in a short while. With Sketchup, both of this problems are non-existent. For me, video tutorials were my teachers. Unless you take a course at an academy where they teach you the proper way of modelling, lighting, texturing and rendering, you will find yourself at the very same place I was the first time I opened 3ds Max.

For my work, almost 90% of the time I use 3ds Max for making visualizations because of the industry standards, not a lack of features of Sketchup. You may say: “Why Sketchup?” “Why not 3ds Max?” Let’s be honest.

Enjoy!Īs a CG artist, I work with plenty of software during a normal day, but for now I am going to focus on Sketchup. Sketchup has become quite popular in our industry and Pia shares some interesting insights and useful tips for cg architects. This time Pia was kind enough to share her experiences with Sketchup when it comes to architecture visualisation.
