MT35101 Class 10 - SketchUp and Camping




This was pretty easy for my first shot at 3D. The tools I used were straight-forward and the simple chair came together, or apart I guess. With some simple manipulations of the push/pull tool. More tools to be used on my house!


Update - I did a little more with the chair and was pretty successful with the house! I used more tools on the house, including textures, colors, and some freehand drawing (tough!). I tried to be pretty detailed.....okay, maybe too detailed. Depth was definitely a problem. Is it possible to make the sun in a fixed position? Here are the links to both files:




Now I tried camping in order to earn some lindens, but I don't have time to sit on a bench for hours. I asked a number of people about earning money but they weren't much help unless I wanted to do something questionable. And I was scared off by some of the ATM machines that indicated you could earn money by answering surveys. As soon as they were looking for a credit card I backed away.
