Course: Modeling Landscapes Part 2 of 3: Vegetation Concepts for Large Models
Duration: 3.5hours
Instructor: Daniel Tal
See Schedule for this course >>
Anyone modeling larger landscape will greatly benefit from this 3.5 hour course. Vegetation models can and will effect SketchUp and computer performance due to the large number of geometric 3D faces plants add to the model. You will learn important techniques for creating manageable files as well as how to successfully build heavy vegetation models. This course will also discuss how to tweak SketchUp for better performance and explain computer hardware recommendations.
For this webinar participants will be able to download a pre-made model and follow along.
