PART 1a: Modeling In Google Sketchup

Working on using Google Sketchup with the Animation class.  In this example, I have MODELED a chair in Google Shetchup and then created an “Animated Walkthrough” which flies around the chair.

PART 1b: Rendering In Kerkythea

Now that I get Google Sketchup, it’s time to figure out how to do Photo Realistic RENDERING.  In the example here, I took the chair from Google Sketchup and rendered it in Kerkythea as clear plastic.  I then flew around the chair.  Nice lighting features 🙂
