Course Description

This SketchUp and Vray course teaches you everything you need to know. We will work together to go through everything in SketchUp and Vray, then after build a house from the ground up.

The main reason I made this course is  to show you how we can apply the skills you learn to make something so stunning and give that wow factor to anybody you show. In addition its been created so don't need any knowledge or prior experiences with SketchUp and Vray.

Consisting of 4 main parts, we will go over:

  1. Learning SketchUp

  2. Learning Vray

  3. SketchUp Extensions

  4. House build

Starting off with learning quick tips and tricks is vital for efficient modelling and this is exactly what this course offers. From the beginning we will look how to do everything logically as well as learning all the unique features to each tool. Every tutorial has been carefully planned out, to make sure you know everything you need to know, so you can reach your full potential.

In the build not only will we go over the main parts to create your house (living area, office, bathrooms, staircase, doors and windows, kitchen, bedrooms and so much more) but we will also go though how to organize your model properly, import free CAD drawings, export standard and rendered animations, realistic lighting environments, realistic textures and creating 360 degree panorama images to view online as well as in VR headsets!

You will also have access to free downloadable resources so you can follow along with me in every single tutorial.

This course is for anyone from enthusiasts to professionals, you just need a passion for wanting to learn SketchUp and Vray.

If I could leave more than 5 stars to this course, I would! I started with absolutely zero knowledge on SketchUp and V-Ray and now at the end of the course I can say I'm very confident with these tools. The teacher knows what he's talking about, is clear in his explainations and shows exactly how to use each tool in different ways. I used SketchUp 2023 and, even if some things were different in the toolbars, I had no problems with following the instructions. Thanks Taneesh, you helped me a lot with this course! :) (for the people saying there's no folder to download, the file is in the last section called RESOURCES, or in the very first video he puts a link on screen that you can use to download the folder!)

Comparatively easier portions are told slowly and clearly but complicated ones are ignored with speedy demonstration. Application of those techniques into real life project were necessary but it was missing. Pronunciation sometimes very tough to guess unless english is your native language

I have recently started designing interiors using Sketchup and Vray and I took this course to improve my techniques, my process and learn how to render my models in a way that would be more appealing to my clients. So far, I am learning a lot, I love how the content is explained and I recommend it greatly.

Taking this course has been a great experience for me. It has a well constructed content. Each step is detailed, nice and clear. I really enjoyed it and really appreciated the work. Also if you have questions, you can ask them to the instructor (I've never needed that though.). In the beginning, I had a little knowledge about SketchUp and was a total stranger to V-Ray. Now I can use both of them like a rockstar :)

Great course! Covered a lot of things and for an absolute beginner perfect lessons and explanations. What was really awesome is that if you have questions they will be answered by the teacher. In other courses you buy the course and no one ever answered your questions because they don't care - they got your money, you got your course and that's it. But this one is not the case - I always got answers from teacher in about 2-3days. Grate course! Recommend!

I highly appreciate this tutor to cover nook and corner of this sketch up and v-ray course, he doesn't hide anything in syllabus, which the thing some instructors do in physical classroom training, every penny is worth , god bless

By Mohamad samer Krenba on 3/24/2021

the course is great ,and cover every thing you want to master and know,even though to be honest the first section was to me a bit boring and i did stopped the course (when the instructor explained the tools and not putting it in a direct practical example so we know how we would apply the function in a more effective way).however then I intend to continue it ( I appreciate I did), that as the second section and the the building section began section ,was really more than great, the instrutore covers every little details that helps to really get the concept of how to use the program in the pest way, and actually he doesn't save any effort of doing that. thanks again for such a great course and I appreciate all the effort that you have put on this course. for others who really want to learn sketchup and not just wasting time I do recommend this course so highly, I'm pretty sure you want regret it if you are serious about learning

By Stefania Bortolan on 3/2/2021

I highly recommend this course. I am an intermediate user of Sketchup and wanted to learn Vray. I have learned so many pro tips that will make my modelling more efficient. The workflow and material provided is excellent and I was able to achieve great results in a month of following along bit by bit. Also a big thanks to Taneesh, the instructor, who has been great in answering all the questions in a timely and professional way. Steffi

The teacher often forgets to repeat which modelling tool he uses in the course and works too much over the keyboard using shortcuts that do not work equally well to others . Luckily, in Sketchup is perfect help finder where I find everything I did not understand in the course. However it is not good idea mainly teaching with keyboard shortcuts. It would be great if the intonation of the teachers voice varied to emphasize important steps in modeling. Otherwise, the course is quite good for beginners and those who want to supplement their Sketchup knowledge.

By Hetal on 1/16/2021
