Family Museum with Sketchup

This semester was the first time that i got to use the program Sketchup, let alone even know about it. I was always very interested in the concept of 3D and i agree with the fact that everything will be 3D in the next couple of years. The program sketchup by google, is an amazing tool that allows you to create your own space and edit it any way you want. Using the sketchup wharehouse, you have access to thousands of models and different ideas that could help evolve your own. The only real difficulties that I had were with navigating around my own space with the orbit tool however im sure this becomes easier as you gain experience with the program.

Using sketchup, I attempted to design a museum. I used my artwork, edited family photos, as the art and developed a space around it to help show my ideas. I am very pleased with the way my museum turned out as it was my first time using the program. I hope to use it in the future and possibly in a future career. Above is a video of a walkthrough of my museum and below is a link to some 2D photos of the layout design. Enjoy!
