Service Available Get SketchUp 3D models from a UMass M.L.A. who has 2 years of experience developing the landscape architecture SketchUp modeling protocols for a Connecticut firm. SketchUp models are exceedingly communicative! You can model an entire site or a single detail and then you can take pictures of your model from any angle or from within it, using a variety of display styles, from simple forms with photorealistic paint to artful “hand” rendering. The program can generate animations showing walk-throughs or flyovers which really tell exciting stories. These animations can be inserted into a PowerPoint presentation, making them easy to use. You can have quickly made models for design studies, or more carefully detailed models for presentations and renderings. Work time for a model compares to making a few good hand renderings, but instead you get an infinite number of images from a single model! Models can be altered as design development proceeds. Work is done remotely in Western Massachusetts, with occasional visits to your office. All support graphics, such as AutoCAD and Photoshop are also available to make your model work hard for you. Contact SketchUpConsulting@comcast.net. and start showing your ideas in all three dimensions.
