3D Basecamp 2022

In this hands-on session, attendees will get first hand experience learning how to get up and running with Enscape and learn how to utilize it throughout the design process. Attendees will gain knowledge on materials, lighting, rendering settings and of course some tips and tricks on how to push our renderings to the next level.

NOTE: For this class you will need your own computer running SketchUp 2021/2022 Pro and possibly one or more extensions provided by the instructor.

Join Ivan Kozaliev to discover essential tips and tricks from the Chaos 3D team. Ivan will share smart hacks that light up your models in a more flexible way, as well as different approaches to shading and rendering. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of new workflows that can take your exterior and interior renders to the next level.

NOTE: For this class you will need your own computer running SketchUp 2021/2022 Pro and V-Ray.

As an experienced visualization artist and V-Ray certified trainer, Dan knows first-hand the importance of having consistent and advanced techniques when it comes to these two aspects
and how this impacts on final CGI output. In session; Dan, lead trainer at the Archilime Academy, will be showing you tips on how to create HQ custom materials from scratch, how to apply these to your model, remove the ‘tiling’ effect, add displacement, grunge, and much much more! You will be tapping into some of the key areas taught within the materials chapter of Dan’s V-Ray for SketchUp Masterclass course, giving you some immediate and actionable steps to work into your own process, as well as access to the V-Ray 6 flagship scene where you can put your skills to the test to be in with a chance of winning a place on one of Dan’s Masterclass courses.

The ConDoc suite of tools is the fastest, easiest, best way to create 2D drawings… using the SketchUp and LayOut workflow you already know. Perspectives, elevations, sections, and plans—you can do it all in just minutes! ConDoc Tools acts as an accelerator between SketchUp and LayOut, greatly simplifying and automating the process of making 2D drawings. Join Mike Brightman, creator of the ConDoc Tools extension and author of "The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture", and see just how easy it is to turn 3d models into full sets of drawings.

Undet is a part of Terra Modus, a laser scanning company focused on reality capture and point cloud processing. It was their frustration in not being able to find suitable tools for their goals that led to them creating the Undet suite of plugins to turn point cloud data into 3D models or 2D drawings. For Terra Modus, there is a real need to use a number of different CAD packages. That's why each Undet version was developed individually to fully leverage the functionality of the CAD package that it’s plugged into… one of which is SketchUp. Come see how Terra Modus leverages Undet and SketchUp to work on their point cloud projects.

Come and see what a difference Enscape can make to your design visualization and validation workflow in this session. You’ll hear how important it is to bridge the gap between design rendering and production, see real-life use cases of high-end design pushing the limits of what you can achieve, and get a glimpse into what the future could hold for you with Enscape, Chaos, and end-to-end visualization.

Most home improvement projects, such as remodeling and interior design, start with hours of tedious measuring and then building out the existing conditions in SketchUp. Canvas is an iPhone and iPad app that lets you jump straight to design. Instead of spending hours taking measurements with a tape measure or laser distance measure, you can scan rooms in about a minute and the average home in about 20 minutes. Then, instead of spending hours generating a SketchUp "as-built" from your measurements, the Canvas Scan To CAD service generates a fully editable, properly tagged SketchUp file in as little as one business day. In this session, you'll learn how to scan spaces with ease, how to integrate Canvas into your workflow, and how to calculate Canvas's impact on your business's bottom line.

Many interior designers have plugins that help them improve their speed, shortcuts that help them navigate their models efficiently, and workflows that eliminate duplication or make-work. These processes are their SketchUp wisdom, accumulated from experience across many projects.
In this presentation, Joanne of Swisterski Design, a Toronto-based interior design company, reveals the 'secrets' she's picked up over the years that help her churn out project after project, from construction documentation to Vray renderings. This session will break down SketchUp wisdom across:
- Shortcuts. Toolbars are handy, but SketchUp takes off when you adopt shortcuts that help you get the most of your keyboard, moving in SketchUp more at the pace of your design thinking.
- Model management and triage. Are you weighing down your model with polygon-heavy furniture pieces and high res materials? Joanne will review life-saving extensions and when to deploy them.
- Working and presenting tight spaces. Interior design is often, inherently, inside, often leading to camera-crippling navigation experiences. What are the best ways to manage these spaces for model making and presentation?
