It is a widely used software in the world, in particular by architects, landscapers but also for the presentation of events, the design of 3D objects… SketchUp models are composed of lines and faces.

Training video
To better understand this course, you must first master the basics of Sketchup. When creating a 3D rendering, the use of the plugin will be the last step of the final rendering of the project. You will see through the sessions how to use the Twilight render tools. I will show you step by step how to use this free plugin to make realistic renderings. We will work on several examples with a room rendering, an apartment rendering and a garden rendering.
