(or directly download the file: texture_1.skp) Copy it to the desktop and then use this copy, don't directly use the file in my folder. Go to the course server and find texture_1.skb in the folder ( U:/). You can manipulate the way a certain texture (image) is applied to fit your model.īelow we will use a simple model to play with those options in SketchUp for manipulating textures. jpg images, which tile seamlessly when repeated. Undo the previous step, then Repeat the same process, but this time press and hold the Ctrl key, then only the box that the Paint tool is placing on is painted with the textureįirst off, you have to understand that all the textures used in SketchUp are actually preinstalled. Now apply a texture while pressing and holding the Shift key on one of the two boxes originally with the same color, then both the two boxes are painted with the texture Pressing and holding the Ctrl key will paint the selected face plus all faces that are connected to it.įirst picture shows that three boxes, two with the same color While using Paint tool, pressing and holding the Shift key will paint all faces that have the same material as the pointed face (selected, or the one Paint tool is placing onto). Tips about painting with colors and textures I even made a bet with another person who was really used to rhino, to make an exact copy of a model, we were given the exact dimensions, angles and proportions, and it took me less than half the time to render it correctly on SketchUp than him on Rhino, since he had to draw a lot of lines, and I only made a cube and started shaping and carving it with the pull tool and the "follow me tool" which is greatIn short, there are a lot of really powerful 3D rendering software packages, like Blender or 3Ds, but sketchup excells on making it fast and easy.Ok, it's time to wrap up your site model with some rendering. I struggled with Rhinoceros for a while and then found a plugin to export a readable file from sketchup to the other program. Last year a classmate had an assignment where she needed to render a car oil bottle in Rhino.
For example, I constructed the shapes for a Counter-Strike:source level and then exported it to Hammer editor. From the beginning was a very promising software piece, and now after several years, there is a lot of extra tools built around it, which makes it even more powerful. I Used several 3D software tools but never felt comfortable, until I found sketchup.
