SketchUp, formerly Google Sketchup, is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film and video game design.

Do you want to take your design career to the next level? The Australian Institute of Creative Design offers an introductory course to Sketch up, to teach you the basics all the way through to advanced techniques to get the most out of your modelling software.
You will learn how to use the tools to create shapes, products & rooms.

- Modelling 3D Objects and Rendering them
- Selecting Textures and Modifying them
- Furnish Room and Create Animation Video
