Section using the “paint bucket” to paint inside faces making the above effect
SWOT
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats The first exercise was interesting and demonstrated all basics commands of skechtUp. All projects have a context and a client so my clients were Chico and Marshmallow how wanted a new house for two, respecting their sizes. The software was easy and intuitive to deal with, making the “Dog House 1” a fast and funny exercise. Exploring the program content is possible to discover that the program looks likes simple but there is a lot of options to use that could help during projects presentations. One good example of it is “section plan” that provides sections and floor plans in one click. To make this type of representation works, is necessary to paint all inside faces of the wall making a sort of solid hatch. Another important command is inside of “camera” and controls views (perspective, two points perspective and parallel projection). Before exporting images is necessary to check camera view and shadows. At least all the range of components in 3D Warehouse helps putting vegetation, people and animals and also any kind of object or furniture.
