Messing Around In Sketch-Up

Description- Students make a model in Sketch-Up.

Reflection- I had fun doing this and coloring the inside.

Initial Concepts

Description – These 3 exercises use the book SketchUp for Dummies, and the accompanying website tutorial videos as listed in the book. You must have headphones and share the books with your table partners for visual reference points.

All 3 finished exercises must be saved in a ePortfolio page (child to 3D Design) titledSketchUp Exercises – Getting Started. The exercises are self explanatory and each step must be followed in order to successfully complete them. Exercises are to be saved in files1 server space, and when completed will be “Exported” as 2D Graphic in the .JPG file format.

Exercise #1

Exercise #2

Exercise #3

Reflection – This was boring and I did it all in less than 10 min.

Final Project

Description – For this project I made a sword. It has a curved guard and a plated tip.

Reflection – I enjoyed making this project. It was a fun challenge to get the guard to curve properly. It was mostly luck. I imported custom texture for the blade, hilt, and guard. The blade was easy but it took some work to keep the brown handle from showing through where the blade attaches. This was one of my favorite classes and you are a great teacher!
