It’s great to have a wall of all the books listed as study material. For section A, B, & D the list use to be about 30 books. Most people don’t have the time to read or the expenditures for such a library! They have recently reduced the list to about 4 or 5.Some have very little to do with studying for the exam. Could it be that some academic is…[Read more]

Who paid Maureen to say that?

Each time I take it, I think, “I just need to go home and focus more on ( fill in the blank)”.  Then I come back, and little I focused on is on there and something I never saw before in all my life is on there.  That’s pretty bad when you own over 50-80 vignettes, a shelf of books,  numerous electronic feeds and have practiced them every day fo…[Read more]

Thoughts on Tuesday’s latest Section E monster…?

I wanted to explain the comment below about me no longer teaching graphics workshops after 2011 (from good friend Brandon Reed).  From mid-year 2011 forward, I’ll be teaching fine art workshops (drawing, watercolor, and oil painting).  I have no plans on teaching Color Mastery or Freehand Perspective Sketching (workshops aimed at Landscape…[Read more]

I just signed up for the Color Mastery Class in February.  If anybody is interested in splitting the cost of a hotel room, feel free to send me a message.

Thanks for the heads up! How’s Cambridge treating you so far?

Just a quick note for all of you who were ever considering taking a Color Mastery or Perspective Sketching Class from Richard Scott….He has just informed me that this year will be his last year that he will EVER BE TEACHING these classes! So if you were ever thinking of taking one…Please go to http://www.graphicsteacher.com and sign up today! I can…[Read more]

would anyone be interested in selling their used workbooks from the workshops to me? I live in Australia and in the near future, not able to travel to the States to attend the graphic workshops.

Great. Glad to help. 🙂

I am using SU8 and that worked perfect. Thank you so much Wyatt!

It sounds like you want the photomatch view without the photo showing. Is that correct? Are you using SU8? Open the Styles window and click on Modelling Settings (the last icon). At the bottom there are toggles for the match photo background.

Wyatt, I brought a photo in for photo matching, I then outlined the buildings and faces that I needed to create 3D models of. I then used the orbit tool to move the camera which takes me into the 3D drawing mode where I applied materials to the faces in my model. I then created a scene with the 3D model. So, now I have the automatically generated…[Read more]

Dave, it might be helpful if you could describe more specifically what you’re trying to do, because I’m not sure I understand your question. The purpose of Photomatch is to move the camera so it sets the view of the model to align to a photo you are trying to match. Can you not use scenes to switch back and forth between the different views?…[Read more]

Does anyone know how to switch from the 2D sketching mode to the drawing mode in photo match without adjusting the camera angle? I have buildings outlined perfectly in the sketching mode but the only way I can tell to switch to the drawing mode is with the POV tools and to do that my model no longer has the correct camera view.

Thank you,
Dave

Thanks Daniel!

Does anyone know the estimated total number of Google SketchUp users in the U.S. or world wide?

I am planning on taking C this December. Please help with any tips and helpful resources. Many many thanks!!!

I’m really stumped on the whole photo match feature in SU. I have a project where I need to show a new streetscape design meshed with a photo of the existing street and I can’t for the life of me get photo match to work right. I have viewed several of the tutorial videos on YouTube but I am just not able to get the origin or the axis to come out…[Read more]

I finally passed C! Passed 4 of the 5 the first time, but this was round 3 with Section C. Yippee! Sayonara, LARE!
