SketchUp with AI: Modern 3D Design and Automation

Getting started with 3D modeling can feel overwhelming, but combining traditional design tools with artificial intelligence changes the game. This course shows you how to pair the intuitive interface of SketchUp with modern AI workflows to create, refine, and visualize 3D designs faster than ever. You will start by understanding the core principles of 3D space, navigating the SketchUp interface, and drawing basic geometry. From there, you will learn how to integrate generative AI tools into your creative process to brainstorm concepts, generate textures, and automate repetitive design tasks. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational 3D modeling concepts, coordinate systems, and the SketchUp interface. - Create precise 3D objects, architectural elements, and interior layouts using core drawing tools. - Apply materials, textures, and styles to make your 3D models visually engaging. - Integrate generative AI tools to quickly brainstorm design concepts and generate mood boards. - Utilize AI-assisted rendering workflows to transform basic SketchUp models into realistic conceptual images. - Optimize your workflow by automating repetitive design tasks and organizing your model structure. The course begins with essential 3D terminology and basic SketchUp tools before introducing practical modeling projects. You will then explore how to leverage AI tools to enhance your creative output, concluding with written exercises designed to test your design thinking. This course is designed for absolute beginners in 3D modeling and digital design. No prior experience with SketchUp or AI tools is required.
