Infinite Skills' “Learning SketchUp 2013 Tutorial” Introduces 3D Modeling with Easy to Use Program
(PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. this week introduced its “Learning SketchUp 2013 Tutorial,” an introductory course teaching fundamental skills and best practices for new users designing in this popular 3D modeling program.
SketchUp is a 3D modeling program with applications in architecture, engineering, film, and game design. Key features include user friendly navigation and an online 3D Warehouse of model assemblies which SketchUp users can use in their own designs and contribute to.
Infinite Skills’ Learning SketchUp 2013 Tutorial teaches all the fundamental tools and techniques for getting started with SketchUp, providing a foundation of SketchUp skills that can be applied to any design practice.

Course author Daniel Brown is a recognized expert trainer for SketchUp and currently runs his own 3D modeling and training service, DV-3D. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in architecture from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Brown became a contractor for Google, working with SketchUp on Google Earth. He also wrote the curriculum and trained nationally for Google’s’ SketchUp training program.
Following a brief introduction, explaining basic navigation features such as toolbars and working with templates, Brown starts with the basics of drawing in SketchUp, covering tools for creating lines, arcs, circles, and more.
Brown then begins guiding students through the design of a house, starting with the roof, setting up measurements, organizing the model, and creating all the standard features of a house like doors and windows, kitchen installations, a fireplace, and more.
Brown then shows students how to use the 3D Warehouse by importing furniture models from its store of assemblies into the design, and then demonstrates how to finish the house by completing its exterior.
Once the design is complete, Brown dedicates several chapters to creating presentations with your SketchUp design, starting with a look at creating scenes and styles from the model, and going on to produce a rendering composite in Photoshop, add lighting and reflections to increase realism, and, finally, to create a presentation using Layout.
“SketchUp is one of the most popular 3D modeling programs on the market,” Brown says. “This course is designed for beginners, and it will set you up to become an expert in any design profession.”
