Brownie Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I am absolutely amazed at Sketchup's ability to allow freedom and flexibility during the design process. This small project was modeled, designed and presented on the fly in only 10-12 hours! I can't wait to do the next one. What are some other first-timer experiences?

Ferrari_Italy Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Welcome to the wonderful world of SketchUp!! I was into my fourth hour of the demo and had learnt the package, built a distribution centre, rendered it, created a fly around and taken it into PhotoShop for final presentation touches!! Not because of my amazing skills, rather the ease and simplicity of it. Pushpullbar is great, check out the downloads section for ideas and helpful items, am still waiting for an Enzo though!!

Fernando Lino Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I went to the sketchup 4 presentation and they talked about keeping SU simple (this is the beauty of SU)... if you want photorealistic renderings ..renderings programs is the answer and I agree with them.

Brownie Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 Absolutely - The power and beauty of Sketchup is in it's simplicity. It is a design tool, not a presentation tool (although the basic output options are 'simply' amazing!). Its great for the program to have the export function if one needs to take the rendering to the next level. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryR50 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Brownie, I couldn't disagree more about SketchUp's place as a presentation tool. True, it doesn't do photorealistic rendering, but that's hardly the extent of presentation graphics. It's also the case that, especially early in a project, a less photorealistic or nonphotorealistic presentation often works better. I've seen some fantastic presentations done entirely in SketchUp.

Brownie Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi Gary, There really shouldn't be any disagreement here. I just noted in response to a previous post that Sketchup should indeed remain as the "nuts and bolts" program it currently is. Perhaps I wasn't clear about my praise for the added bonus of the beautiful renderings the program can produce. We all agree here Gary, Sketchup is Amazing!!!
