SketchUp and LayOut Master Class: Part 1.

My name is Luke Whitelock and I am an award winning feature film Art Director, in these tutorials I will show you the method I use to design sets in SketchUp and turn them into legible and professional construction drawings in LayOut. Although the project is based on set design, all of the methods I teach can be transferred to any design vocation. So whether you work in interior design, architecture, theatre or film and TV like I do you can use these courses to truly become a master of SketchUP and LayOut.

PART 1 (Plans and Elevations)

A 10 hour comprehensive tutorial demonstrating how I produce set designs for the major motion picture industry. I have used the method demonstrated in this tutorial to produce working construction drawings for many clients including Marvel Studios, Disney Studios, 20th Century Fox, Eon, Warner Brothers and Netflix. Projects I have been involved with include: "Avengers: End Game", "Avengers: Infinity War", "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", "The Batman", "James Bond: No Time To Die", "Cruella" and "Guardians of the Galaxy". Please feel free to look me up on IMDB for a full list of credits (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2259834/). 

You will receive the following items in the package:

• 11 Videos with a total running time of 10 hours (£2000 worth of training)
• The completed Sketchup model (back saved to Sketchup 18 (so that it is compatible with older versions of the software) with all scenes and NO sections so you can practice on the clean model
• You will also receive the completed Layout file (back saved to Sketchup 2018) 
• You will also receive all of the section files for you to be able to practice the sectioning technique that I demonstrate.

NB: A note on versions for SketchUp and LayOut - new versions cannot be opened in old versions of SketchUp or LayOut therefore I have saved all the models and Layout files as 2018 versions meaning that if you have newer versions of the software you will be able to open the model hopefully eliminating the need for you to upgrade to the latest version of SketchUp

It is recommended that you also download my scrapbook for LayOut. This will save you a lot of additional time when putting your 2D construction drawings together.

Also please note: you may want to download the font spectre verde  from here for free https://www.1001fonts.com/spectre-verde-bb-font.html 

If you do not have this font on your system then the fonts in the layout file provided will revert to your own default font. Which is fine but if you want it to look the same as my file you should download and install spectre verde.
