Illustration plan
SketchUp model
During the last task we worked exclusively with digital tools. After creating visualisations and plans in Photoshop based on a SketchUp model, we wanted to integrate the two into a textured 3D-model. In order to drape a terrain in SketchUp with a 2D illustration, one can follow the steps below:
- Import image as “image”.
- Place and scale the image correctly.
- Right-click and explode it.
- Triple-click to select all faces and edges.
- Right-click and select “Make group”.
- Select Paint Bucket, and hold ALT to “Select object to match paint from”.
- Select the image. The image is now a “material” you can fill faces with.
Our result:
Draped 3D-model
