By the end of this course, learners will be able to plan, design, model, and visualize a complete 3D landscape garden using SketchUp and V-Ray. Learners will develop the ability to interpret project requirements, construct accurate outdoor layouts, apply landscaping components, and produce photorealistic renders suitable for professional presentation.
This hands-on, case study–driven course guides learners through a real-world landscape garden project from concept to final render. Starting with project planning and layout design, learners progressively build a detailed 3D landscape model using SketchUp’s core tools and component libraries. The course then transitions into visualization, where learners apply V-Ray materials, lighting, and environment settings to enhance realism and mood.
What makes this course unique is its end-to-end workflow approach, combining practical modeling techniques with professional rendering strategies in a single cohesive project. Learners gain industry-relevant skills by working on a realistic landscape scenario, making this course ideal for architects, landscape designers, 3D artists, and SketchUp users who want to elevate their outdoor design and visualization capabilities.
This module introduces learners to the complete workflow of designing a 3D landscape garden using SketchUp, covering project understanding, layout planning, accurate modeling techniques, and the integration of landscaping components to build a realistic outdoor environment.
