Sketchup for garden design

SketchUp

Sketchup is a powerful 3D modeling tool with robust functionality that allows designers to explore and communicate projects, import and export various file formats, and create interactive presentations. It is a software widely used in the world, in particular by architects, landscapers but also for the presentation of events, the design of 3D objects ... Sketchup is very interesting for garden design because it allows to model a 3D garden project. With this software, it will be possible to give an overview of a project with a 3D model to scale. We can thus create step by step a garden, starting from a plan, by positioning the structural elements of the arrangement, by adding materials, plants, decorations.

Advantages of Sketchup

- SketchUp is simple, fast and intuitive software compared to other 3D modeling software.

- You can already make simple models after only a few hours of learning.

- SketchUp allows you to produce models made up of few faces.

- Due to its non-parametric modeling principle, SketchUp is suitable for a large number of uses.

- It has a large collection of free components with the 3D Warehouse to import plants, decorations or even furniture.

- It is possible to create complete garden projects.

- There are a large number of plugins, many of which are free like Twilight Render to create realistic renderings.

Training course

In this course you will learn how to use Sketchup from the start and use it for landscaping. We will thus see all the tools step by step and then adapt them for the creation of garden. We will thus see concrete examples such as a project to develop a small garden or a project with decorative pots. I will show you how to use the free Twilight Render plugin to create a more realistic rendering of your project.
