Sketchup Chair
Students will do the two Sketchup tutorials as a warm-up to working in 123d Design and a 3D design environment. Students will used their assigned computers and Sketchup to produce two simple 3D objects from tutorials linked below. They can also do an extra credit tutorial for additional practice and points. Students will take screen shots from at least 2 perspectives to show the design of the objects. They will upload the screen shots to their ePortfolios with a description frmo my site and include a reflection of their work.
This project was very challenging but fun. Making a chair in Sketchup was more difficult than I expected, it made me use tools I had never used and made me learn how to use those tools. The most challenging part of this project was making the curve at the top of the chair, as well as making the legs of the chair the same size. The bowl I previously made was fun but easy, the chair on the other hand was pretty challenging for me. This project was a lot of fun to make and I hope I get to make more projects like this in the future.
