Building a City Street in Sketchup! Review and Expanding our Tools!

Today we are diving into Sketchup and learning some of the possibilities of the program.  In Productions we will be utilizing Sketchup as a 3d Modeling, Animation, and landscape designer.  Today the students are learning the basics of the program and exploring its capabilities.

Todays Tutorial - This is a Play list of multiple different tutorials depending on your skill level!





Todays Application Challenge

Using the Tools that you learned today begin creating the exterior of a downtown city street.  You will be using this street in the future for inserting yourself into the landscape.  Explore freely with this mini challenge with the understanding you will have time to sharpen it in the future.

However, we will quickly look with a micro-lesson on Animating inside of Sketchup.  We will talk briefly about what it should include and I will show a few examples from the internet for the students to look at.  They will then finish their landscape and begin to think about scene design inside of the landscape.
