My 3-year-old is my source of inspiration these last couple of videos. After Paw Patrol it’s Legos time, she loves them. I asked her what should I model for you guys today and You can guess what she said

This video is a part of the Random object modeling series. You can check out the rest of the series on this link    • Random Objects

Vray for Sketchup

If you want to follow along with all the steps, and recreate this exact model yourself, I suggest you set the speed of the video to 0,25. That way you can follow the tutorial with no problem. But If you’re just here for the speed build timelapse, just sit back and enjoy the video as is, or you can even double the speed.
The rendering is done with Vray plugin for sketchup, but I keep it extremely simple. I just increase the intensity of the light, increase the size of the sun to get that soft shadows effect and work around refraction and reflection of the materials.
In the lower left corner of your screen you can see what I’m typing but beware, I don’t use Sketchup default shortcuts as you’ll probably notice, but I’ll list all my custom shortcuts right below.

Here is the full list:

Ctrl+1 - Select tool
Ctrl+Q - Draw line
