Sketchup Speed Building
Sketchup Speed Building
I just got back from Dubai, where I saw the most incredible architecture. That city trip has inspired me to make a skyscraper in Sketchup. It turned out much better than I'd expected and it has really made me more excited and motivated to make Sketchup speed builds on a more regular basis.
Comments and likes are always appreciated. I always read the comments, so why not say something to me? :)

Sketchup Tutorial "Training course 02"
This training course is From a talented interior designer and 3D architectural visualizer.whohas kindly offered to share this detailed workflow in the production of an interior design.in which he uses SketchUp for the model and V-Ray for the render. There is a lot of good solid information here with many tips to suit all levels of experience. This Sketchup Training course can only be described as the ‘How and Why’ of good rendering. Some working knowledge of SketchUp and V-Ray is needed to follow and understand this tutorial.
- you can see the first training course Here
In this tutorial, I will explain my workflow in a project I called “Interior Design. As you all know, making such a project requires a certain amount of knowledge and experience in the CG industry, as well as in interior design, so I will cover only what I believe people commonly have most trouble with. This will include texturing, lighting and the rendering processes. First, I want you to notice that this project have been created in SketchUp. The rendering engine I used for the final visualization was V-Ray. I also using predefined materials (.vismat files); I often use these in my projects, downloaded from “Chaos Group”, “Visual Dynamics” and “Flying Architecture” web sites.
This full formation compound 2 parts Modeling and Rendring.

- Many people ask me about “V-Ray” options (.visopt file), and how I set up the rendering parameters, expecting that if they do the same they will get a realistic image. You have to understand that any rendering engine, including “V-Ray”, does nothing else but what is based on your parameters setup. It calculates how light travels through your scene and it bounces from different surfaces, in order to potentially get a realistic image. Due to this, almost all its parameters are about setting different light calculation methods. Therefore, if you set its parameters correctly you will get nothing else but nice lighting. To achieve realism in your visualizations, you will have to take care about several other things, which are no more less important than proper setting of your rendering options.
- Try to have your object geometry as clean as possible. Clean unnecessary edges (lines), weld those that are in the same direction, have surfaces properly oriented (always facing a camera), etc. Have your objects in proper scale according to each other as well as according to the real world.
- When using 3D models downloaded from the 3D Warehouse or any other similar website, try to use those that look realistic and correctly modeled. Give yourself time to look for “good” ones. If you cannot find it, try to model it by yourself, instead of having a “bad” one in you project. Non-realistic models (not in scale, the way they are modeled or “bad” textures, etc.) will certainly not lead you to the result you are looking for.

The Urban Matrix: How Far Should We Go?

| Smart Urban Furniture |
The city of Paris aimed to increase the function of its urban infrastructure in 2012 when city officials held a competition to design intelligent street furniture. The need to integrate technology into the urban context is imminent for many cities, and this has led to a variety of design solutions. The winner of this competition was the world-leading outdoor advertising company JCDecaux, in collaboration with designer Mathieu Lehanneur. Their project, Escale Numérique (Digital Break), creates a series of WiFi stations where people can access information about the city and connect to the Internet.
Smart Urban Furniture
This urban development project is designed to create a space for people to use the Internet. A shade structure is created from a plant-covered roof supported by architectural elements that resemble tree trunks. Concrete swivel chairs are anchored underneath this roof, with a table and outlets for each person.WATCH: Escale Numérique, it’s in French but the idea speaks for itself.
Questioning the Connection
The implementation of this project raises several questions about the function of urban infrastructure. Do we really need to be connected to the internet at all times? The urban aspect of the city is so diverse, with so many opportunities for interaction. Shouldn’t we build upon this instead of making it so easy for people to ignore their surroundings?
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban FurnitureA Connected Haven of Peace
Located on the Rond Point des Champs-Elysées, Escale Numérique provides a sense of respite from the buzz of traffic and pedestrian movement within the city. People can sit and focus on something, whether that may be their smart phone, laptop, or a book.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban FurnitureThe protective shelter of the roof and the access to free WiFi give people a feeling of separation from their surroundings. The access to the Internet is a revival of the underground fiber optic network that supplies the capital. These stations raise this connection from beneath the ground and make it accessible to the public.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban Furniture
This idea is similar to the way the Wallace Fountains brought drinking water to Parisians in the late 1800s — the drinking water that was circulating beneath their feet became directly accessible to the public in the same way the Internet cable network is being brought up for public use. An integration of the digital and physical landscapes allows users to be productive within the city in a world in which we are increasingly dependent on technology.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban Furniture
The Need to Be ConnectedWe are so reliant on technology today that when we don’t have instant access to it, we become frustrated. Not so long ago, the only way people could interact was through face-to-face conversations. They got things done without the ease of computers or smart phones.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban Furniture
The rapid development of technology in recent years has created a new paradigm of interaction and productivity. So much of our world now depends on the Internet, and our lives are now stored in the cloud or on our hard drives. It is simply how we get things done in this age of modernization. The benefits of technology, such as increased efficiency and access to information, are not without the negative effects of decreased social interaction and disconnection from the natural world.social interaction and disconnection from the natural world.
Is Avoiding Feeling Uncomfortable a Good Thing?
Escale Numérique provides a connection for Parisians and tourists; however, they do not interact with each other. The large touch screen billboard is designed to be used to find your way around the city and create an augmented reality. This was done in response to the feeling of hesitation a tourist feels when he has to ask a local for directions.

It eliminates the need for that uncomfortable interaction. However, travel inherently puts you out of your comfort zone, so why not build upon this through design? A local will know things a large touch screen could never tell you, such as the best place to eat or the best way to get there.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban Furniture
Public Space and TechnologyPublic space functions at so many levels that it is hard to ignore its importance. It shapes the way we interact with people and our surroundings, especially in cities. Today, the smartphone has enabled people to move through public spaces as if they were in their own private bubble. The typical distracted walker looking at her phone is often encountered in a city.
When you sit down in a public space, it is so easy to remove yourself from your immediate surroundings through looking at your phone, laptop, or tablet. Doing so causes a loss in the connection to place, and place is what landscape architects are supposed to design.
The Urban Matrix, Smart Urban Furniture
Why spend so much effort in the design and implementation of a public space if people are not going to fully appreciate it? Escale Numérique loses this connection to place that we should be creating and celebrating in the city.Yes, this project is a beautiful integration of technology and design, but is that what the world needs? Maybe we should approach the design of public spaces from the understanding that they should create connections between people, not electronics, because that is what is lacking in cities today. Landscape architecture has the potential to be the leader in this approach to design, but it hasn’t been accomplished quite yet.
House of Music, project Description :
The House of Music was designed as part of a larger April 2008 master plan, also produced by Coop Himmelblau. The concert hall defines the eastern edge of the Cultural Plaza, which is linked to the city center by a low-rise, mixed use courtyard building and a high-rise hotel tower, and which opens along the promenade down to the fjord. As a complement to the cultural and leisure functions of the Nordkraft building, a former power station that was recently renovated, the House of Music and the urban spaces of the master plan transform the area into a new center for art, music, and education in Aalborg.

| House of Music |
The House of Music in Aalborg unites cultural uses, pedagogical functions, and generous public areas in an open system that creates synergies and exchange between audiences, artists, students, and educators—a hybrid space for shared use. A 1,300-seat concert hall forms the core of a compact, U-shaped block with rooms for music education and practicing. Three additional halls of various sizes and functions round out the available performance spaces. On the north side, the building opens onto a vertical foyer with a view of the fjord. To the west, it adjoins the Cultural Plaza which links it to the city.
