3D Modeling for Design Communication

Project Overview

Course: [Confirm course name]

Role: Student Designer

Software: SketchUp, Photoshop

Status: Academic Project | UC Berkeley Extension

[Insert primary 3D visualization]
1000 x 600

Design Challenge

Use 3D modeling to communicate spatial volume, material palette, natural light conditions, and furniture scale for interior design development and client communication.

Approach

3D spatial modeling in SketchUp
Material and texture application
Natural light simulation through window placement
Furniture placement at accurate scale
Camera views for design storytelling
Photoshop enhancement for presentation quality

3D Views

[Insert SketchUp view 1 — living area or primary space]
1000 x 600

[Insert SketchUp view 2 — different angle or room]
1000 x 600

[Insert SketchUp view 3 — detail or material focus]
1000 x 600

Materials & Light

The visualization explored how material choices and natural light interact within the interior space, communicating warmth, texture, and atmosphere to support design decisions.
