Everything I did was donated so time was the key to producing a good set of documents and supplying the TV station a rendering and a animation. I designed this home for the 2013 St Jude Dream Home Giveaway. St Jude 2013 Dream House (Large) (Medium).jpg (249.7 KiB) Viewed 26100 times Attached is a screenshot of the sketch above. Its expensive but what you can do in a short amount of time in groundbreaking. There are some other good VR rendering or animation packages also on the market and results will vary. The process is time consuming and you could wait hours for final results. If you want Photo realistic stuff I would use V-ray, Shaderlight, Twilight, ect. There are a lot of options out there and several different ones provide me with different results. So after I have everything good for client review I will go and render a shot or two in Sketchup - I also use an external render to produce the final shots. My main goal is to produce a good set of construction documents - That's what I am getting paid for. Once the model is blocked out in Sketchup and I have a roof design I bring this back into datacad and start adding in all the details like windows and doors, brackets, hatches, ect that I didn't have in my model. The program that I use in Sketchup allows me to moveĮxterior walls and adjust plates as needed and I try and match my sketch as much as possible. Next I will get the floorplans approved by the client and signed off, There will be changes but I try and stay away from moving exterior stud walls. I am good with thinking thru this process as I take into account the plate heights and the floor heights. I will also do this for the floor plans and try and get a feel for the overall design. I start with the client and sketch by had what they are wanting to see, its quick and dirty, I can get feedback right at the table and proceed with some blocking out of the design.ġ20112-St_Jude_Hand_Drawing (Medium).jpg (134.66 KiB) Viewed 26100 times
Thea render models skin#
I am sure others here do the exact same thing as there is only a couple of ways to skin a cat, lol. I am going to use one example of my work to go thru my process. Like opening doors and windows, roof design, and site work. I also use several modeling tools to help me in the design process

The 3D Warehouse is full of models I don't have to recreate just drag and drop them into place, ect. I need to revisit the tools in V15 as I would really like my models to be more BIMĪssociated but for now I use good old Sketchup.

The last 3d model I really did all in Datacad is X12, I find other modeling programs to be faster and separating the two keeps my mind at ease somewhat. Sometimes it gets a littleįrustrating not being able to hit the Identify command set all, but I have deal with multiple clicks to get the job done. I will reply to this topic, I have been using Datacad for a little while now (V5), I am now just registered in a LT version as I have everything I need to complete my working drawings with it.
