Set Designer Shows How to Set Design (Using Sketchup)

[@pencilarchitect]

Awesome walkthrough of your process. As an avid user of SketchUp in my day to day as an architect, it’s nice to hear that it’s used commonly in set design as well.

[@kaicohen5768]

Thank you so much for creating this tutorial. As a student, it has been very difficult to find Sketchup videos from a set design perspective. Hope to see more tutorial videos of this kind!

[@SetDesignChannel]

Thanks! Yes, I'll be making more content for the channel later in the year. Glad you've found it useful.

This is so cool. I started an interior design certificate, and learned Sketchup. i really love it - its so great to see there is a world outside of residential and commercial interior design where there is room for even more creativity!

[@owenling]

Great video! I usually use C4D so it's so interesting to see how designing in Sketch Up works. Would love to see more of your process!

[@Duanekoroye]

Really good tutorial. Would love to see a video on how you model and create construction documents. Thank you in advance

[@SetDesignChannel]

Absolutely want to get around to doing this!

[@eugeniejuan7774]

Please make more of these! I don't find enough set design in film videos using SketchUp, thanks for your video.

[@SetDesignChannel]

Glad you've enjoyed it! I'll be making more when I get a chance! I actually use Sketchup for modelling/blocking out a design and making visuals. I do the actual draughting in Vectorworks.

[@ischillz]

loved this video as someone just starting out and trying to understand the more moderate and expert things that go into making a really good design on sketch up. i would love to see more videos. thank u so much for making this

[@SetDesignChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it! There'll be more coming.

Another great one. I never learned Materials-assigning materials etc. And "Skatter" I will be getting. Thank you. (love the cat).

[@SetDesignChannel]

Glad you've found it useful! Will do a video on Sketchup plug-ins at some point...

[@gabriellawinters7855]

Great to see your process Greg! Beautiful result too and I spotted a secret sauce at the end of the video as well, a little helper friend assisting with the making of magic :)

Really good I'd like to see more content please!

[@edmundsmith5743]

Very nice. I'd love to see your process for creating construction drawings. I find Layout to be a very flawed program. Interested to see how you go about this.

[@SetDesignChannel]

I also find Layout flawed to be fair. I use Vectorworks to do my actual drawings after the model phase. I'd like to do a follow-up on it soon if I get the time.

[@gabriellawinters7855]

@@SetDesignChannel I'd love some vectorworks videos, and a workflow process between the two!

[@jessembs]

Would love to see drafting videos! Do you have any more lessons/tutorials? Would love to learn from you.

[@SetDesignChannel]

There will be more coming soon! A video on stage-plans will be next.

[@jessembs]

@@SetDesignChannel Thanks so much! Just a quick question - I've got Vectorworks, but don't really have experience with drafting and would love to be able to easily visualise my designs (i think better in 3D than sketching)... would you recommend I start with Sketch Up?

[@deonmuso4430]

Awesome thanks for the post gives a lot of insight

[@lucylarkman]

I love this! Amazing

[@SetDesignChannel]

Thanks!

[@onuq3r4y478]

awesome video! just an FYI the links in the description are dead now :)

[@SetDesignChannel]

Thanks for the heads-up! I've changed the link to a currently active website.

[@onuq3r4y478]

@@SetDesignChannel Sick thanks! This video is a massive help... I'm currently PAing on a big show in NYC after spending years in a smaller market... so I'm studying up during the strikes and your videos have been a great help!

[@rhondabraxton5585]

Amazing!!

[@overbeckstudios9964]

How do you become a set designer for TV studios. Like news and sport shows?

[@danimorales3401]

hank u for the video! Got a question, is there any other program to use for set designer in wich u have layout or u can make plans ?

[@SetDesignChannel]

Layout is Sketchup-specific and I will be making a video on that in future. However, if you're interested in other software, why not check out some of my Vectorworks videos?

[@ch14509]

Hello, my bachelor was architecture can i apply for set design in master? What can i do to learn set design and work as a set designer? thank you

[@SetDesignChannel]

If you want some guidance on how to get into the field, take a look at this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIiapZ9sgcuDaKs A masters degree isn't really that common, but specific film-set draughting courses are quite popular.
