Sketchup Model building

[LeonardoShaz]

so what your sayng is i could take a photo of my house (for instance) and then make it into 3D??

[CoffeeStained]

@LeonardoShaz Absolutely. In fact, there is a way to create a full 360 of your house by using multiple photos to stitch together geometry.

[Artistram3d1]

Dynamite. Great job. Thanks for sharing!

[CoffeeStained]

@Artistram3d1 Thanks for viewing, glad you liked it!

[mafjr16]

could these 3d models work in animation software like tvpaint , toon boom etc....

[CoffeeStained]

@mafjr16 I have no clue.

[madkillerabdo]

awesome! Everything is clear, but, i want to know desperately how did u make the texture! How did u apply the photo to the model!

[ilyas549]

what google sketchup is that because my one only has tools at the top whiles yours has loads of tools on the top and on the left tell me link for download of your one plz

[pobhockle]

I have no idea what's going on.. Is this amazing?

[turalaze]

[seraphyx15]

watch my at

Seraphyx15 chanel

[gunzet]

at first I thought you were done and I was like "meh..." then you did that texture magic and all the sudden my face was O_O! that was awesome, how did you do that? cause I hate texturing in Sketchup

[RicardoR5]

i watched this vid 3 yrs agor for the 1st time, coming back to it now, still looks great :)

[CoffeeStained]

@RicardoR5 Thanks a lot. I still use Sketchup a lot, in fact, if I'm just playing around on the computer, I'm usually playing in Sketchup.

[Zofnok]

@CoffeeStained Hey great video, I was wondering if theres a way to use the buildings made in google sketch up to put in comics, because drawing buildings is complex, so this would make things much easier. Also, would the be a way to integrate them into an animation as well, but only after being rendered from one point of view so it isnt 3d? I know this is a lot, are there videos that help with this?

[CoffeeStained]

@Zofnok There absolutely is, and in fact, Sketchup is a very popular tool for comic artists. Myself, I print out Sketchup models at the size I want on my page, simply because I like to have a fully done, real-life page of art. However, it is much easier to just save Sketchup models as .jpgs, and inserting them digitally into scanned art. Also, if you get an app to convert .skp to .obj, you can insert the actual model into apps like Manga Studio.

[Zofnok]

@CoffeeStained Thanks, thanks good news for me, and it doesnt seem too complex, thanks for the help.

[ForDaisyGirl]

I just started learning how to use this programme and it looks so cool!

[ForDaisyGirl]

I want your proffesion when I grow up! :D

[CoffeeStained]

@ForDaisyGirl Really? Because I work in comics, not in 3D. Though, I do use a few 3D elements in my work.

[Stijning]

WOW THATS COOL!

[ShadowMaNnGaming]

vet knap hoar!!!

[cipher10000]

about to p.m you about making

a character for a game.

[galahad49]

Can I import these files to, for example, CAD programs or 3Ds Max?

[ObamaFansAreIgnorant]

@galahad49 You can save the sketchup files as different formats and then import them into other programs. I'm pretty sure they can be exported to 3Ds Max, and they can be saved as dfx files which you can import into almost every CAD program.

[cafmdq]

BUENISIMO!!!

[HanyauntukAllah1]

Basic

[lostintheapplasauce]

wtf!

[tristanos22]

Great!!!

[tamaduni]

I HOPE TO THAT SOMEDAY

[neomarked20]

Great!

[soulstrike18]

Wow this is sick and amazing

[przemo41]

wow!! 5/5

[phaetonJDM]

looks very good!

[diegoman91]

this is the google sketch PRO? or BASIC?

[tazzicek]

I think PRO

[terminator363]

I guess you need to know some properties of the building...

[rayjazz19]

I enjoyed the tutorial. I've imported a lot of SketchUp objects to my projects in Live Interior 3D. You can see some walkthroughs of my projects on my page.

[Vza004]

can this be imported to manga studio ex 4?

[CoffeeStained]

I am assuming it can, I don't have MS EX4, but Sketchup Pro exports to .obj, which MS EX3 uses. That's actually my main use for this program, creating set pieces for manga to be imported into MS EX.

[NIkeAir26]

how do you put lights?!?!

[CoffeeStained]

Sketchup does not have actual illumination options other than the sun, but it does have components that look like lights. For actual lighting, I use Kerkythea's plugins and renderer. I now use a Mac, but I think Kerkythea is available for the PC.

[NIkeAir26]

thanks but how do i use it get that "kerkythea`s"?

[julilava]

jaja

for gta 5 !!!!!!!!!

[Arqui3D]

No wonder you're getting linked so much... Most people don't know this is even possible in SU. Are you in SketchUcation?

[CoffeeStained]

No, I'm not even sure what sketchucation is... *L* This is part of the standard software set, I'm not sure how people could miss it. There are people who create and piece together whole models in PhotoMatch, which is a little beyond what I am capable of.

[zohir256]

i don't have some of the icons in my version!!?

[NinjaRat10FromRS]

u do......i can tell you how to get them.....

just click on view...then toolbars and it should show a list of tool bars...click on them to show them on screen :)_

[bananafruitsalad]

This is amazinly helpful! thankyou so much!

[racingisfun]

mad skillz

[anibalgt3]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[racsito39]

ÔoÔ

[AGAVEFARMER]

I am new to this and first time I have seen this done to an actual pic. It is pretty cool. Thanks alot for posting

[Ryanmuniverse]

AMAZING AWESOME FANTASTIC3

[chibone1]

dude, this is such a cool program, is this what architects used?

[MyWorldisFantasy]

yes :) At least, here in france.

[youmasora]

they use "sketch up" ?

there is an arsenal of autodesk

[MyWorldisFantasy]

well, im a student ina rchitecture and we kindda mix up different softwares depending on what we want to do. :)

[WalkAroundDude]

DUDE! YOU ARE A GENIUS!

[0timbojim0]

holy crap!!!

[3x0rcyst3m]

EEEEEEEPPPPPIIIIICCCC

[xylswzq]

OMG YOU ARE SO STRONG!!!

[repsajpower2000]

ehm i have a question:

you have a sofa, but i cant turn it around

it always stays in 1 direction

do someone know how to turn this thing??

[4k3el]

is this just the standard sketchup or is it a version you have to pay for?

[CoffeeStained]

This was done in Sketchup Pro, but the free version has the same features.

[4k3el]

i've got the free version. what tools do i use to set the perspectives? i have presentation on monday and i would really like to use this method!

[lgpro51]

cccoooooolll

[panicmcr14]

wow.. this is really cool

how do you do this?

[ajaxs50]

amazing!

[FREEFURBIE]

Its google. Not gogle. Talking bout discription.

[DMoy2]

how can you see the inside of the house?

[CoffeeStained]

This is just a quick exterior model.

[VINCEBONO]

how'd you link the photo as a texture?

[CoffeeStained]

There is a button in the PhotoMatch dialogue to project the texture onto the model. Only one button press to skin the entire quarter of the model.

[atb1248]

You have my respect for that.

[NewDudeInHere]

Awesome, is this in Google Earth too?

[CoffeeStained]

Sketchup can export to Google Earth, but this particular model is not on the map, as I am not entirely sure where the pictured building is on our big green.

[NewDudeInHere]

Ya, I know it can be put on Google Earth, I just wondered if you just used a random image to do this or is it in somewhere GE.

[CoffeeStained]

Oh. *L* I found a image on Google Image and used it with Google Sketchup to create a model, before uploading it to Google's YouTube, but I didn't make it available on Google Earth.

[afganist]

haha! :D

[UncleXXandersXX]

awesome, nice, great, fantastic, impressive. I could keep on

[Tenzencjusz]

Wow, that was grate!

At first I haven't know what are you doing and what the tool is this.

Few minutes later i was doing nearly the same at my computer, cuz that video.

Thank you so much for presentation of this tool. I'm glad that YouTube has got users like you.

[DavidCousins]

Thanks for the video. Amazing work.

[Jah3l]

DUDE THAT WAS AMAZIING!

[silverbladehpt]

Dude...guy's..you don't need pro to do photo mash..

It's under "windows"...just look for it.

[CoffeeStained]

This is true, PhotoMatch is available in the free Sketchup.

[archvin]

NICE!

Dude, what version of SketchUp are you using? And is Photo Match free?

Never heard of this program before. Great.

[CoffeeStained]

Sketchup Pro 6, and PhotoMatch is included. Thanks!

[CoffeeStained]

Pro is expensive, but sooo worth it.

[Palkia323]

i am getting that!

[lanarith]

wow, thats pretty awesome.

i've had sketchup for a while now.

planning on being an architect see,

and i haven't really figured out how to use the photo match thing like this yet.

thank you for this video again, i'm using it as my tutorial to follow, hopefully i'll get it sorted, this looks really good.

[CoffeeStained]

Sketchup is great for architecture, it's greatest asset is it's expandability, the ability to add new tools and functions. I've used it to calculate material for drywall jobs before.

[Zanarah]

is photo match on the free sketchup

[CoffeeStained]

I believe it is.

[conradhw]

Sketchup is good

[3atr]

OMG!!! it would take me days with my current program!!infact, i dont know how with my current program,*hmm*, oh well that is awesom-er than a

canadian-man-weasel,(yeah that's right)

[CoffeeStained]

Umm... I'ma Canadian man... is 'weasel' a euphemism?

[3atr]

a canadian-man-weasle is just a little random animal i made up, its a long long disgraceful story on my part

[DilbertDesign]

Sort of like ManBearPig?

[3atr]

exactly like manbearpig

[Coresk]

Omg! I downloaded the program 10 min ago, then watched a movie! is it really THIS simple? ;O

[CoffeeStained]

Sketchup is beautifully simple while being quite powerful.

[ministartube]

Whats photomatch?

And do you need to have the full version to be able to use the axis tool that was used in this video?

[CoffeeStained]

PhotoMatch is the tool I used to do exactly what you see up there.

[lonesta]

hi how did u do the last step? like copying the material to the model? what tool is that? THANKS NICE VIDEO

[CoffeeStained]

Copying the material to the model is part of the Photomatch toolset.

[papito0o0]

what version of google sketchup ii that ? coz' i have Google xketchp and i can't do that stuffs :(

[CoffeeStained]

This is Sketchup Pro 6.

[freeride2222]

how do you do all the axis stuff?

[CoffeeStained]

By dragging the red and green perspective markers, you tell SketchUp what the axis is of the photo. You then drag the axis itself to the foremost part of the picture.

[haphazard1342]

In the beginning, you used a tool I am unfamiliar with. What did you use?

[CoffeeStained]

File>Import

Files of Type="All supported Image Types"

Check the radio box "Use as New Matched Photo"

or it might be called "Use as PhotoMatch", depending on your version.

[haphazard1342]

I didn't mean that, but that was helpful. My question has been answered for me by another questioner. Thanks!

[haphazard1342]

In the beginning, you used a set of tools I have never seen before, what were they? Do you think you could make a tutorial for using those tools? It would really help to get a much larger volume of models to Google Earth. If an average SketchUp user can get a good enough image, they could make really nice models of local buildings.

[CoffeeStained]

When you import a picture using PhotoMatch, the alignment tools are automatically activated to match the axis of your 3D world to the picture. These tools are not accessible outside of PhotoMatch. The tools themselves are very straightforward.

[artraya]

what did you search on google images to get that photo?

[CoffeeStained]

Just 'architecture'.

[picceta1]

awesome, where do you find good photos like that to use tho? all i can find is crap.. lol

[CoffeeStained]

Google Image is all I used.

[jolaniss]

Wicked!

[vt9205]

niice

[jamesecash]

whoa, that was really cool

[CoffeeStained]

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for it being cool, but that's just basic use of the program.

[Codarl2]

he used the Photo Match tool, it's really amazing, as long as you dont try to use it for round objects! (under camera > match new photo)

[qqq14neahneah]

good job, but what's with the coffee? lol

[modmadmike2]

its his trade mark

[CoffeeStained]

True!

[EMS57]

caramba, muito bom!!!

[wladylopes]

Very Good

[Sim073]

[SketchupAE]

[jian2069]

[missedupmind]

[MJGrindboy]

WOW!

[bigjaw1]

[DrawingWisdom]

You make it look easy. :)

[CoffeeStained]

SketchUp makes it esy!

[yubi91]
