(Note: This version is available in High Definition but the audio sync is a little off. If that kind of thing drives you nuts then watch the ‘Wide Screen’ version instead.) This is a model of a house that I built (in real life) a number of years ago. I wanted to see if I could rebuild it with what plans, photos and memories that I still have. I built the deck model years ago using Ray Dream Designer and Virtus Walkthrough (neither program is around anymore) to visualize what the deck would look like before I built it (in real life) as an addition to the house. I built the deck model to scale and it imported (.dxf) nicely into SketchUp after all these years. That was the starting point of this recent modeling project. I did the time lapse sequence at the end to showcase SketchUps ability to set time and date for determining location of shadows. I also used its watermark (picture overlay) capability to see if I could line up the angle and lens settings of the camera snapshots that I had taken back in the day. I think it worked well. Incidentally, I also composed and produced the accompanying soundtrack over an excellent beat by Zajo called “loop39.wav” from Freesound (www.freesound.org) used under a Creative Commons sampling license.

i already have (google sketchup) . it’s good , but gets boring , i want something different , not too complicated , free , (trial,sample,) or even completely free. also if its risk-free to download off of the internet , if you have any suggestions please let me know , thanks in advance , mason

www.reallusion.com Since the models from Google SketchUp are still, we can convert Sketchup 3D models into iClone to make real-time movies eaily like this video.

Learned how to do it on youtube watching aidanchopra videos
