Here are some settings used for our process. The tool we used the most to distribute the vegetation was the Skatter plug-in as we mentioned before. Here´s a top-view of the tree types of vegetation as placed in the scene. We divided the process into three steps : Ground Coverage Once we decided on the proxies, we started to find various ways to distribute it and get a dense vegetation. In reference to the type of vegetation that we found at the site, here are the proxies used in the project. The most challenging step in this project was the incorporation of the vegetation since it was such an important part of the site recreation process. Skatter – The Smart SketchUp Plugin for Scattering It is very important to give special attention to the details of the model to make it realistic. Up next we´ll display a breakdown of the final SketchUp model.

The next step to develop a SketchUp model was to locate the site on Google Earth to confirm dimensions and view the project´s context. Glass materials and the color of the water on site.Some important information to take into consideration : The photos that I was able to take from the site was a great start. It´s always important to gather good references to be able to start a project.

In 1966 it was declared a National Historic Monument and it´s presently a museum. It was built as a residence in 1855 by the 7th President of Argentina. Sarmiento House is a National Historic Monument in the northern suburb of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The project demanded a lot of vegetation which worked perfectly with SketchUp´s new Skatter plug-in. Once I got back home, I immediately started the project with my team. It´s the creation of architecture to preserve architecture. The Sarmiento House Museum is a historic house preserved in a Crystal Cage. I was so intrigued to find such an interesting structure right beside a river, it immediately called my attention.

In my recent travels to Argentina, I discovered an amazing place that contained a “Caged House”. With great pleasure, I would like to present our project.Īfter the Lake Lugano House Project, I always wanted to do another project that would take advantage of all the new tools that SketchUp and V-Ray for SketchUp are offering. Without them, this project could not be possible. Also, I want to admire the big effort that Thomas and Ronen have done with such an amazing software that Skatter is. I´ve been a huge admirer for some time now and I´ve gained a lot of knowledge about modeling processing, and most importantly techniques. First of all, I would like to thank Ronen for the opportunity to participate in his blog once more.
