EXP 1: WEEK 3 - SketchUp Videos

Animation Videos

Whilst designing and developing on my own model, these videos have inspired and assisted me in further expanding my model. Although many designs are similar to mine, it allows me to further develop my ideas to make my own model unique, as Matt said, design something that no other has designed. It was very useful watching these videos and see how professional architects use 3D animation to its advantage. These animations are useful in providing an interactive visual representation of the design with much details such as the landscape, textures, proportion and scale.

Based on various materials, these sections are an interpretation of the features/ properties/ quality of the material. It is then separated into 3 categories: above, ground and below to represent the different materials situation in different environments.

Stairs

These abstract models are either floating above ground or under the surface. By adding a staircase that connected the model to the ground level, it allows the building become a realistic. From simple sketches and details, it can be created into a realistic staircase with the assistance of SketchUp.
