$Toothbrush 3D modeling - Sketchup Tutorial and timelapse This video is a part of the Random object modeling series. You can check out the rest of the series on this link https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1aC9sZFriUWVRXLaz69FitdRecGirhgc Today were going to model a simple toothbrush using only quads. Quads are planes that have 4 vertices. Plugins I used are Quadface tools to edit the simplified proxy geometry and plugin Artisan to subdivide the surfaces. This kind of modeling is called Subdivision surface modeling and although it’s more suited for other 3d modeling software like Maya, 3Dmax or Blender, Sketchup is still able to achieve very acceptable and nice results with the use of the Artisan plugin. 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 0,5. 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 decrease 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 right 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 Shift+A - Draw arc Ctrl+W - Mirror tool (plugin) Ctrl+Shift+X - Move tool Ctrl+Shift+A - Offset tool Ctrl+R (or R) - Rotate tool Alt+Y - Hidden geometry (on/off) Ctrl+D - Tape measure S - Scale tool E - Eraser C - Draw circle Y - Draw rectangle V - Paint bucket (Alt - Eyedrop tool) A - Push pull If you happen to like this video I kindly encourage you to click the like button and to check out the other videos of this series and ultimately consider subscribing to this channel.
