SketchUp is a 3D modeling program designed for architectural, civil, and mechanical engineers as well as filmmakers, game developers, and related professions. We'll be looking at architecture and using SketchUp to build a model inspired by Greek Architecture.
1) What is your favorite building or structure in the world? (For example mine is probably Falling Water or the Toledo Mudhens home-field and my wife's is probably the Eiffel Tower.)
2) How does that building make you feel or what does it make you think of?
3) Have you heard of SketchUp?
... IF you have NOT answer questions (a-d) IF you have heard of it answer questions (f-i) ...
b) What is the best part about using that program?
c) What is the worst part about it?
d) How many hours do you think you have spent with it to become comfortable with it?
f) What experiences have you had with Google's Sketchup? What were they?
g) Were they positive or negative?

I guess I like Gooseberry Falls It a beautiful place to go and visit. When I am there I feel free, Because there is nothing that can stop the water from flowing. I have heard of Sketch-up and I disliked, because I didn't understand it. We used it in math class and it was a fail. There was no best part I got overly upset, because I didn't understand it and no one would help me. It was all around frustrating.

I like the space needle in Seattle. It makes me think of a needle.. in space. I haven't heard of Sketchup. I don't use any photo editing programs
ReplyDelete1) What is your favorite building or structure in the world? (For example mine is probably Falling Water or the Toledo Mudhens home-field and my wife's is probably the Eiffel Tower.)
ReplyDeleteMine is the Eiffel Tower.
2) How does that building make you feel or what does it make you think of?
I think it is just cool. And it is fun to paint and draw.
3) Have you heard of SketchUp?
Yes and I can not use it at all.
Well, probably my favorite architect is Frank Lloyd Wright, so I suppose my favorite building is Fallingwater, although he also made a house in the Prarie somewhere which was also great. I am also fond of Bakken Museum. I have heard of sketchup.
ReplyDeleteI found out about Sketchup several years ago when it was first released, so I downloaded it and messed around a bit. However, I didn't really get far with it. I have made basic rectangular structures, but the more advanced stuff is a little over my head.
I think the best part about Sketchup is that it's pretty simple. It is hard to use, but it is not complicated to me, and I understand what to do, it's just difficult to do it.
I think what makes Sketchup frustrating is that I don't understand its language. Take Photoshop for an example. It's super complicated, but since I've used it for so long I can navigate it easily. I think Sketchup is the same thing.
1.) my favorite building downtown is the twins stadium.
ReplyDelete2.it makes feel good. i really like how its all about the twins and its really big.

c. It's really simple and basic. No detail.
d. I have spent MANY hours.
