3D modelling software

Sketchup Pro

Behind any great rendered image, whether interior or exterior, is an accurate 3D model. Our models are created to scale in Sketchup Pro, either from AutoCAD design drawings or simply worked up from scratch inside Sketchup. The textured materials are only added once the actual geometry is complete. We create models of most of the designer's proposed fixtures and fittings, including curtains, but some of the more complex furniture pieces and decorative objects have been obtained from other sources, such as V-Ray's library, other 3D model sites or manufacturers' downloads. Click on each of the images below to learn more. If you're viewing this on your phone the titles will appear very large - apologies! Wix does not offer any way to change the font size yet.

Sketchup model of a large stable block with two wings at ninety degrees to each other and a central, round turret structure between them. At the rear of the stables on the left, is a row of garages. The stable block wings have steep pitched roofs with a series of dormer windows.

The stables in Sketchup

Inspired by images of a French chateau and its surrounding outbuildings, this stable and garage block was entirely modelled from scratch in Sketchup.

A Sketchup model of part of a building under construction. There's a grid of steel beams and columns and part of a floor showing profiled steel deck sheets.

Composite floor construction in Sketchup

All structural elements - beams, columns, plates, bolts and steel deck sheets were drawn from scratch in Sketchup.

A Sketchup model of part of a kitchen with a stone feature wall and a stone column. The view includes pendant lights and a ceiling chandelier and the light sources, created in V-Ray, are visible as cross shapes.

Kitchen light fittings in Sketchup

All walls, floors, doors and light fittings were created from scratch in Sketchup. This view shows pendant lights and a ceiling chandelier - the V-Ray light sources are visible as cross shapes.

A Sketchup model of an outdoor BBQ and seating area under a pitched, red tiled roof. The plants and furniture were taken from V-Ray's library, including the shrubs and rocks, which look like big white blobs in the Sketchup model but appear realistic in renders.

BBQ area in Sketchup

The plants and furniture here are from V-Ray's library, including the shrubs and rocks, which look like big white blobs in the Sketchup model but appear realistic in renders. All structural elements were created directly in Sketchup.

A Sketchup model of part of a country kitchen, showing a display wall unit with some decorative objects and plants, a worktop, bread bin, Belfast sink and drainage board and a window with a bamboo Roman blind.

Kitchen sink corner in Sketchup

Some of the decorative objects in this image were sourced from V-Ray's library and the tap from the manufacturer's website. Everything else, including the Roman blind, was drawn inside Sketchup.

A Sketchup model of a large living room, with two L shaped sofas, cushions, an oriental rug, a display cabinet and double doors leading to another room. There are large windows and French doors along the left side, each framed by curtains. The V-Ray lights show as crossed lines in the model.

While the sofas and cushions were obtained as manufacturers' downloads, all other elements, including curtains, were created directly in the Sketchup model.

A Sketchup model of an outdoor swimming pool and pavilion. The plants and rocks look like big white blobs in the Sketchup model but appear realistic when rendered in V-Ray.

Swimming pool and pavilion in Sketchup

Apart from plants and rocks, all other elements in this image were created directly in Sketchup, including the pool water, which was given V-Ray material properties. These do not show up in Sketchup.
