Along the way you'll get to know many SketchUp extensions that are essential to the entertainment design industry. You'll use LayOut for storyboarding and construction documents, explore rendering options, and learn about how 3D printed SketchUp models are enhancing model presentation.The book will guide you to working with existing models on the Sketchup 3D warehouse, and moves from assembling models out of existing elements to developing a fully dressed studio set.
