Rendering in SketchUp

I am waiting for my marks… waiting… WAITING…

There is another stuff to do while I am waiting. Sketch book, Curtains book, History of  Styles book  and 3D modelling. I found the book I was looking for – it is Rendering in Sketch Up by Daniel Tal. The book serves as a beginner rendering manual and reference guide to further develop rendering skills. The great thing is that it gives a review for several rendering plug ins. It exists in kindle version too, but I personally did not get used to the kindle bookmark system yet, so after some hesitation I bought the paper one.  I just paid for it at Amazon, in customer reviews they say it is easy to read, I hope I will find it easy too as there are more than 600 pages in it :)

I have to move my milestone for another month again…  But yesterday I found a great news on the student forum:

Dear Students,

We have made the decision that any students with previous CAD experience are now able to submit their work on CAD from the start of the course. If however you do not have experience please submit your hand drawings as usual.

Kind regards,

Laura

Assistant to the Head of Open Learning

So I am using sketch up for my home cinema project and feeling a bit more motivated :)

As soon as I started to rework my axonometry (project 3.2) I found that I do not like this bathroom anymore. It is not contemporary enough, I feel that the space can be used better, customer wanted the limestone or glass basins, the gap between bath and wall is too narrow. I need to rework it totally from the scratch. I know it is stupid to create more work for myself when nobody asked. But I know what is going to happen next – I will hate this project more and more and I would not be happy with final view of rendered axonometry. Interior design supposed to be my dream job, so it is just not right to work on something I do not like anymore. Several steps back – start from concept board and walls.

Some time ago I found the web site of Helena and Adam Michel who create a stunning interiors in SketchUp and render them in SU Podium. These are the best interiors made with SketchUp and Podium I have seen so far. Couple days ago I found that they offering training in 3D visualisation. I will go there to learn this magic.
