Something to draw

[jsb666]

right guys i know this is a really random question but im trying to use sketch up as much as i can, the more i use the the better im going to get but im completly out of ideas of things to do so can anyone think of something that uses a lot of the tools so i can learn from it but not really hard since i only been using it two days thanks

Draw your house, or apartment, exactly to scale. That should give you a good primer.

draw a large gelatinous, jet powered whale. have it screaming through the costa rican jungle canopy, and eating frogs. make it translucent, and give it gills for no apparent reason. then, have cocain vapour spewing from the gills.

if you want to be really creative, draw two of them swirling around in a duel, and have commentators strapped to their backs. have a spedometer on their side that reads "sludge puppy".

and while you're at it, you might as well draw a large flourescent eel that is in the process of turning itself inside out.

now, id give that scene a 10/10, and then id eat it. by the way, i have no idea what sketch up is.

lmao, that really made me laugh :D sketch up is a CAD programm

CAD you say... what do you have in the way of machinery?

Jesus, Slugtoy, I don't think that whale is the only one to have cocaine vapors spewing from it's gills. How the hell did you come up with that?

:p

[Slug Toy]

how do i come up with what i do? the answer is simple. temporary insanity.

i get into a zone where i do my best work. by best, i mean strangest. it takes a good ten minutes to warm up, but once im there, i can draw, write, and make up songs on the spot. all of which are absolutely horrible, but very entertaining.

no drugs involved, except alcohol when its a late night and im out of ideas.

CAD stands for computer aided design, so there is not machinery, i think you mean CAM which is computer aided manufacturing

Holy CRAP!

Awesome news. Google is offering a FREE version of SketchUp! (http://sketchup.google.com/index.html)

I'll be downloading it tonight and doing a review for the front page. This is great stuff!

[Omega]

Wow.

I just started downloading the free sketchup /o/


i'ma design cases in it soon enough.

[tybrenis]

HOLY CRAP!!!!

Wow, that is going to be the case modder's new best friend. A revolution has begun!

[Omega]

Yeah. i was drawing a case in it.

I am still getting a feel for working in the 3rd dimension on a 2d screen, and also scale.


But otherwise, it's pretty aweseom.

Eventually, i should draw a scale model of my putar.

[jsb666]

I've got the first in a series of tutorial articles posted on the front page (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=135&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) on how to use SketchUp. This one covers teh very basics and walks you through the first tutorial lesson that comes bundled with the program. I'll be doing a new more of these over the next week or two that will go more in-depth about the article. Take a look and let me know what you think - your feedback is always appreciated.

Thanks!
