We started our 3D Modeling Unit in January of 2024 with opening SketchUp for Schools for the very first time! We experimented with the program by writing our name and stacking blocks. This eventually turned into an assignment and this was the PNG we put in (NEVER USE SNIP!) I was pretty happy with the way mine came out, considering the fact that this was my first week using SketchUp. I hope you like the PNG! 😊

In order to download your house from SketchUp into Blender, you need to download a special kind of file called an FBX File. It does take a little for the computer to get the FBX file ready for you, but once you get it, you'll be able to get your house into Blender! Blender makes your house look much more realistic and 3D. You can also animate what you put into Blender by using keyframes!!

This is my simple house in BLENDER! I downloaded it as a Collada file then was able to start a new file on the program. Blender made my house look much more realistic and 3D when compared to Sketchup!

This is my very first modern art sculpture! This took me about a week to make and color in and I had a lot of fun with it. I used red, dark blue, and purple. During this point in time, the Offset key was my best friend 😜! I first made a polygon, then lifted it about 3 feet off the ground, drew random lines everywhere, lifted the space between those lines, then offset the shaped I made, I tried to make the middle piece the tallest, and I think I did a good job with that, but I could have done better! I then -like the simple house- imported it as a COllada file and put it into Blender!    

This is what the Modern Art looked like once it was in Blender! I increased the light to make it look more realistic and kind of show off the colors and detail.
