Designing in 3D: A Beginner's Journey with SketchUp, VR, AR
Learn 3D Modeling and Visualization with SketchUp, Enscape, BuildAR, and 3D Printing Tools
What you'll learn
Students will learn to use SketchUp's core tools to create precise and detailed 3D models for diverse design projects.
Students will gain expertise in producing photorealistic renderings and immersive Virtual Reality simulations using Enscape.
Students will acquire the skills to develop interactive Augmented Reality experiences using BuildAR.
Students will understand how to optimize and export 3D models for accurate physical prototyping using 3D printing technology.
Requirements
No Prior Experience Required This course is designed for beginners, and no prior experience in 3D modeling, rendering, or design software is necessary. Basic Computer Skills Students should be comfortable with basic computer operations, such as using a mouse, keyboard, and file management (e.g., saving and locating files). Access to a Computer with Minimum Specifications Learners should have access to a computer capable of running SketchUp, Enscape, and BuildAR smoothly (e.g., a mid-range processor, 8GB RAM, and a dedicated graphics card). Download and Install Required Software Before the course begins, students should download free or trial versions of SketchUp, Enscape, and BuildAR as guided in the course instructions.
Description
This beginner-friendly course offers a comprehensive introduction to 3D modeling and visualization using SketchUp, alongside exciting technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D printing. Starting with the basics, you will master essential SketchUp tools to design accurate 3D models, learning techniques to create shapes, apply textures, and add realistic materials to your designs.The course includes hands-on exercises to deepen your understanding. You’ll explore Enscape, a powerful tool for generating photorealistic renderings and creating immersive VR simulations that bring your designs to life. You’ll also learn how to use BuildAR to create dynamic and interactive AR presentations, enabling you to showcase your work in innovative and engaging ways. Finally, you’ll gain practical experience exporting your models for 3D printing, transforming your virtual creations into tangible prototypes.Whether you’re an aspiring designer, a student starting out in digital design, a hobbyist, or someone eager to explore creative technologies, this course is designed for you. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a passion for learning! By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to use modern tools and techniques to design, visualize, and materialize creative ideas in both digital and physical spaces. Come learn with me!
