During the autumn term, 2nd-year Theatre Design students had tutorials with technician Laura Mathews on the basics of 3D virtual drawing programme Sketchup. This included creating shapes like wine glasses and beds with a pillow. It included creating a school hall, and adding chairs and people (which are used in the final model pictures).
For The Red Tree project, technical drawings were required, so I created the set in Sketchup, using the 3D drawing of a school hall from my drawing sessions with Laura as the site for my set. Since most of my set were quite straight forward geometrical shapes, it was not too hard to construct in a 3D drawing. However, I did struggle to put my design for the flooring on the actual model, so I edited that onto the pictures using photoshop later.
