The scope of the project was to design and create your dream home. Incorporated into this you needed detail, overhangs, and a great design point. To create this house we used SketchUp, SketchUp is an application where you can design 3D models of pretty anything you can imagine. Whether it's a house, video games, or engineering models. I came up with my house design idea basically as i was building it, I would add things that I thought would look good and delete things that didn't go along with the new things I made until I finally said "This is my dream house." Prior to actually designing the house I had spent some time in class one day looking at a website that had many pictures of houses on it, when looking at it I would piece together how I wanted mine to look, but like I said when I actually started creating it I had a whole new idea. I am a very simple/modern person and I wanted to make my house different from others and thats where I came up with the idea for my roof.
Making my dream house into an animation was a lot easier than I thought. All in all it took me about 15 minutes to do. I love how SketchUp had its own animation creating part of it because if I had to export it and animate it on another application it would have taken much longer to do. Throughout making my dream house I learned how to use SketchUp and have grown to love it a lot. It has taught me how to create what I imagine and bring it to real life, where I can actually see it.
Next time when I create another thing in SketchUp I need to add more detail and make it look real while still making it what I like. I love how I made my house different from everyone else's yet still keeping it the same in a way. On my next project I would like to create maybe another new 7 wonders of the world structure, it would help me add more detail into things and make it unique and different. Next time I will learn to add more detail and make sure I add enough of everything I do.
