I've always been commited to helping designers incorporate 3D into their own workflows, so they can discover the power of using it for designing, not just for producing a series of images or animations for the client. With this in mind I've created a brief 6 day course that will allow them to learn to use one of the most useful 3D programs (SketchUp) out there today.

SketchUp is a powerful yet easy-to-learn 3D software, and best of all the basic version is free (although the pro version is well worth the $500)!. It was designed to be more intuitive, flexible, and easier to use than other 3D CAD programs. Its a program that has come closer than any other, in capturing the feel, speed, and flexibilty of designing by hand on paper. You can accurately design every aspect of your project without being bogged down by the technology. You can create 3D models of anything you want.

Google offers a wide range of tutorials, videos and other learning tools. But it can be a bit daunting to just start learning without a bit of structure. So I’ve organized some of google's materials into the course that will give you the necessary skills to learn Sketchup and start using it effectively.
