Overview
SketchUp Personal Experience Problems Encountered
AutoCAD - Research Seeking the Total Package
Carrara Summary
Project Description
Objective Account for program shortcomings to determine
best interface for presenting an effective digitalmodel to consumer end users. Texture Navigation Clarity Accessibility
SketchUp – The Project
Redesign 1 of 4 entrances to campus along15th Ave Little design experience Had a concept, but not fluent in translating an
idea into multiple views SketchUp was presented as a design aide.
No in-class tutorial
SketchUp – The Design
SketchUp – 1st Attempt
Perfected the Focal point of the design …
Found it nearly impossible to “Push/Pull” theTerrain without undoing my work.
SketchUp – 2nd Attempt
Started from Scratch Faster the Second Time Around Constructed Like a Painting
background to foreground
SketchUp – Conclusion
Not very “sketchy” Precision is essential
Time Consuming Keystrokes minimize this
Memory Intensive If you don’t know to hide objects
Forethought Required Best for small projects, single structures, etc.
Skins/Graphics Lack professionalism
AutoCAD – Marketing Potential
AutoCAD - Professional Animation
AutoCAD Animation - Draftsman
DAZ 3D – Greater Potential DAZ Studio
Free! Pose Render Animation
Bryce Primarily 3D Landscapes
Hexagon 3D Modeling
Carrara All of the Above Physics
Mimic Lip-syncing Facial expresions Gesturing
DAZ 3D – Greater Potential
Began in 2000 Animation of articulated 3D figures Some Independent Developments:
Building Animation Promotional Video
DAZ 3D – Greater Potential?
All-in-one 3D Design Suite Less Precise as AutoCAD
Less expensive Easier to learn (???)
Much more detailed than SketchUp Can cost up to $600
Animations recorded in widely accepted formats No additional downloads to consumers
Ease of adding human element
Conclusion
Great potential beyond AutoCAD for reachingthe consumer
Cost effective compared to some alternatives No one program can do everything
