Abram M - 3D Model

On this page I will make a house in SketchUp and then I will animate it to spin in Blender. After this project we will make a modern art sculpture in SketchUp and put it into Blender so we can enhance the appearance.

SketchUp is a free app that allows you to make a 3D representation of whatever you want.

In SketchUp there is a push and pull tool which can be used to pull 2D shapes into 3D shapes. You can also enter exact dimensions by just typing number while using the push tool and it will make the shape that exact size. In the dimensions the symbol ' is used to represent feet and " is used to represent inches.

Before we started with our houses we did a cube practice so we could get used to SketchUp and its tools. It was easy to make the cubes but it was difficult to stack the cubes on each other.

In SkecthUp diffrent tools hav edifferent shortcuts whic is a letter and these shortcuts help you work faster and more effecient sine you dont have to manually click on the tools.

This is the house I created in SketchUp. It was difficult to make the heart shaped window and took me a long time to finally get it looking decent. Also the diamond window looks like it took a long time to make, but it was pretty easy since the whole window is pretty symmetrical.

This is my painted House which helps us in texturing our house since we can texture all of the different colored parts without struggle.

This is the final result after animating and editing the colors in Blender. This spin lasts 10 seconds.

Sculpture

In this project we design a sculpture in SketchUp then we import it to Blender to render, and animate it.

This is the sculpture I came up with in Sketchup. It took me hours to fully complete this model because it has hundreds of small details most people cant even see.

These are the SketchUp pictures of my model painted. It took a while to paint the whole model expecially the very small details.

And these are the pictures after my sculpture was fully detailed, modified, and rendered in Blender. I had some problems with making the glow for the color to just the right amount. Also I had to edit my model in SketchUp multiple times since two different parts of my model are the same color meaning that the glow would be where I didnt want it to.
