3D Model - SketchUp




Google SketchUp is a 3D modeling tool. This assignment introduced us to the basic tools and instructed us to create a building of our choosing. My first building (the one I submitted for grading) was adequate and involved curves, pitches, textures, transparencies, and imported models, but after continuing to work with the software after turning in the assignment, I created a new, better model of an art center. Though I did not get to turn it in for grading, this art center model also involved the same tools as my previous house model, but to a more useful, pleasing end (especially with the addition of a "five o'clock shadow!"). The main building would be an art gallery/playhouse and the two small art "yurts" would be available to artists on a sign-up basis. Two bronze performance rounds would provide outdoor performance space and art pedestals would feature local sculpture artists.
