This page is mostly a pretense to exhibit my Sketchup 3D model making abilities and spark the imagination of clients and potential clients as to how to use those models. If you are interested in having similar content created please contact me.

WHAT IS SKETCHUP?:

SketchUp, originally developed by Google and now maintained by Trimble Inc., is a powerful 3D modeling program widely used across architecture, interior design, marine architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, and even film and video game production. While it is not intended for character design or organic modeling, SketchUp excels at creating precise, technical models using basic shapes, making it ideal for architectural renderings, site planning, and technical illustrations.

I first began using SketchUp in 2012 while creating the illustrated map for the St. Petersburg Power and Sailboat Show. At the time, I was seeking an efficient alternative to isometric drawing for map illustration. Since then, I have expanded its use across a variety of projects and now rely on SketchUp almost daily to create accurate, visually compelling 3D models for maps, buildings, and other technical illustrations.

SketchUp allows me to combine technical precision with artistic flexibility. Models created in SketchUp can be used as the foundation for detailed illustrations, integrated with Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, or exported for presentation and visualization purposes. Its versatility makes it a valuable tool for projects that require accurate spatial representation, clear perspective, and a professional, polished look.

If you are interested in having a custom model or illustration created in SketchUp, please contact me for a quote. I can provide solutions for everything from complex architectural layouts to 3D maps and technical renderings tailored to your specific project needs.
