ModelMetricks Advanced Series Book 1: Using Pictures in 3D

In this first book of the ModelMetricks Advanced series, you'll learn how to use a single, flat digital picture to paint a 3D model. You'll learn how to position a picture to fit a model, and how to build a model to fit a picture. You'll also SketchUp's awesome Photo Match tool. Plus you'll get to use pictures with transparent backgrounds.

ModelMetricks Advanced Series Book 2: Art Gallery

In this second book of the ModelMetricks Advanced series, you'll use digital pictures to make several paintings, each with its own fancy frame. You'll make some elaborate and colorful bowls that will sit on display stands. To house all these objects, you'll build an art gallery with a complicated-looking (but easy to make) window and roof. SketchUp's very fun Follow Me tool is the star of this book.

ModelMetricks Advanced Series Book 3: Crazy Shapes

In this third book of the ModelMetricks Advanced series, the main focus is combining components with the Follow Me and Intersect with Model tools. You'll make stacking rings, a striped bowl, patterns on boxes, patterns on spheres, and interlocking building blocks. Once you can make these models, you'll be able to model just about anything that has repeating objects.

ModelMetricks Advanced Series Book 4: Optical Illusions

In this fourth book of the ModelMetricks Advanced series, you'll make a whole bunch of optical illusions. (Maybe youÌve seen some of these before on paper, but they look so much cooler on your screen.) You'll make straight lines that look curvy, colors that seem to change, and models that look like they're moving. Caution: this book might make you dizzy.
