The Cube Project

When we first started off using Sketch Up, we were taught the basics in each and every tool on the app to make things in which you could move, shape, size, color and much more! The images are showing what our very first project was, the cube exercise. And then we also did the cube stack to show our abilities.  

    The House Project 

After learning the basics of sketchup, we moved on to our house project using Mr. Hicks tutorials. Where he taught us how to make a house. Some things we made include, the base of the house, the trimming, the roof, the windows, and the door. Also, if you were able to finish those specific items, you were also allowed to add more advanced items including a doorknob, a chimney, and more custom made windows! After that, we painted the house's groups. AndI also added my own multi-colored pane window on top of my door.

After going through the sketch up process, we learned how to use Blender. I then had to export the collada files of the model and all the other files that went with it in Sketchup. After I had the files exported into blender, I fixed the lighting and any other tweaks the house needed before I made any of the animation. After that process, I had used keyframes to decide where the camera would be placed during animation.

My Model!!! 

We basically did the same process for our house, but instead we were able to create our own unique model! The only difference was when we did the final animation, where we did 20 seconds instead of 10, and we also added a couple of new keyframe positions to our model in the animation.
