Our first project in the 3D modeling unit was the cube practice. We used the program Sketchup to 3D model the cubes and all the other projects in this unit. Sketchup is a free program and easy to use!

We used the push/pull tool and the rectangle tool to make these cubes. We also had to type in the exact size and shape that we wanted it to be.
For the stacked cubes all we had to do is take the cubes that we already had and stack them using the move tool.
These are the tools in Sketchup. You can edit the toolbar on the left however you want. The tool bar on the right is more for after effects when you finish the 3D modeling itself. You can create a lot of cool things on Sketchup. There's also a place in the materials section where you can access textures made by other people to use in your 3D models. Also the 3D warehouse is a place where you can access other peoples' 3D models.
The house below is the second project in this unit. Every student created our own houses' with unique disigns. For my house I was kinda going for a gothic medevil vibe but with moddern archutecture. I dicided to make my own window using no tutorials. The window that I made was the staned glass window. It actually took only about 20-30 minuts to make. Should I make a tutorial for the staned glass window? Also if you're wondering about the smile on the door there's no real reason for it.
This is the difference between the final Sketchup house and the rendered one in Blender
