2- sketchup

- Sketchup 2015 Essential Training
- Sketchup for Architecture: Fundamentals
- Sketchup Rendering using Vray

In this course I started off by learning navigating around the interface, manipulating objects, drawing in 2D and 3D space, working with materials, and applying textures.

After going through the first step I continued learning how to create camera views, shade faces and edges, work with layers, animate artwork and export to 2d and 3d sketches.

Learning the essentials got me to start on the fundamentals of SketchUp for Architecture.

I got to learn to create a site plan, build walls, floor, and roof of a house. Also how to add detail elements like stairs and ceiling trim, and make models more realistic with materials. Plus,I learned how to take advantage of the organizational features of SketchUp.

With using Vray as a rendering motor I learned how to take a single scene with interior/exterior elements and add lights, move cameras, and enhance objects with translucent and reflective surfaces and finally get highly realistic 3D architectural drawings.
