SKETCH UP / CAD / 3D TUTORIAL/kerkythea

We have 2 new tutorial courses ( Sketch Up and Kerkythea ) that is very suited for architects / engineers / interior designers / graphic artists / filmmakers/ game developers and related professions. and for those who are simply interested in CAD / 3D / 2D using the computer as a design tool. You might be interested to learn it

Not only are they powerful ( as compared to other major softwares); they are also FREE !!! ( as in freeware and FREELY downloadable) . Why use expensive softwares when you can do the same things using these FREE tools ??

SketchUp, whose award-winning toolset was developed to help design buildings, is a modeling software that empowers designers to explore complex design ideas in 3D. Developed for the conceptual stages of design, SketchUp is powerful yet EASY TO LEARN 3D software. It is the pencil of digital design. This award-winning software combines a SIMPLE, yet robust tool-set that streamlines and simplifies 3D design. .

SketchUp is used by design firms of every size, from sole-proprietors to some of the world’s largest AEC firms. SketchUp is used predominately on the front-end of the design process where designs are in a fluid and tentative state.

Architects and Engineers use SketchUp for:

• “Sketching” 3D building models to win projects

• 3D “walk-throughs”

• Design presentations

• Massing model development

• Urban planning and design

• quickly create realistic buildings, massing models, street furniture, utilities, cars, people, terrain, pretty much anything in 3D.

Interior Designers use SketchUp for:

• Space planning

• Interior and exterior shadow studies

• Real time color composition

• Material & texture comparisons & analysis

• Populating interior spaces with high quality entourage

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS use SketchUp for:

• Creating compelling 3D concept models to win projects

• Urban planning and design

• Creating “walk-throughs”

• Evaluating light conditions with real-time shadows

Kerkythea - is a standalone freeware 3d renderer that can be used to create photorealistic renderings and supports raytracing using physically accurate materials and lighting. It can be integrated with3ds Max, Blender, SketchUp, Silo and Wings3D
