Sketchup 3D modeling software for designers and architects.
My name is Jacob, I am an independent architect from New Zealand who now lives here in Basel. I've been using Sketchup for ten years, creating award-winning architectural projects.
I offer my free time to teach the modeling software Sketchup. Whether you want to use the program for architecture, design projects, student projects, or for personal reasons, I bring along how it works and how do you design fluidly in 3D through Sketchup.
Sketchup is my favorite modeling software because it really feels like sketching in 3D. By teaching, I bring you to the point of view that you feel the same. That you are confident with the program.
Together we can work on your project or just do some teaching. After the first lesson, we can organize a customized learning plan. I recommend at least two hours of teaching a week. As a result, and depending on your current skills, it could take one to six weeks.
For advanced students, I offer how to make curved shapes; how to render viewpoints from the model as lifelike images; and how, after designing the design, you can export to other CAD programs.
I am originally from New Zealand. The lessons can be held in German or in English.
I am looking forward to teaching you.

About Me
I am a freelance architect from New Zealand working here in Basel. In my free time I teaching 3d Modelling software and English lessons.Architecture/Design Modelling software lessons:
I have three years experience teaching architecture at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. I enjoy teaching in this field a lot, as I am passionate about Architecture.
English Teaching:
I am a highly experienced native English Language teacher from New Zealand. I have four years experience in teaching English to adults of all levels. My specialty is conversational English for spoken-fluency, exam preparation, and English for professional presentations.
I am now seeking new individuals or groups for communicative and interactive English Lessons in the Basel area. My recommendation is a weekly schedule of two 1.5 hour classes for fast improvement. I am available to meet for private or group classes in home, workplace, at the Kollegienhaus at Basel University or a café.
My lessons are very engaging, the material I offer is interesting and current. Lessons will be taught in English full-immersion style. I am also fluent in German and Spanish which gives me a strong understanding of common pronunciation and grammar faults. (I have many tips on how to improve these quickly!)
My previous professional experience include working for the Spanish Military in Madrid as well as the national railway company of Spain. I am an architect by training, so I am very knowledgeable of design vocabulary and expression.
I look forward to working together with your English language skills.

Become a PRO 3D Designer on 3ds Max in Interior Architecture!Are you a student, architect, interior designer, or real estate agent? Or simply someone who would like to master photorealistic 3D renderings?
I offer private lessons, both one-on-one and online, on Autodesk's 3ds Max software with the Corona rendering engine. Together, we'll explore how to best use 3ds Max for interior design projects.
We will go through all the stages of modeling, starting with the assembly of the main "box", the import of the different objects and their modification if necessary, the adjustment of the lights and the cameras, to finish with the export of the renderings and the post-production on Photoshop.
If you need help with a specific project, I can also help you optimize your scenes and render them faster and with better quality.
I am available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 7pm and travel to Nyon and the surrounding area.
I will be delighted to guide you in this exciting world of photorealistic 3D renderings!
*For the first course, we can establish your needs and skills, so that I can adapt the course to your profile.

Photogrammetry (3D scanning) for amateurs, hobbyists and professionalsIn this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software. This efficient and powerful software was first used for the preservation of archaeological objects and historical monuments, but is now used for video games, VFX and virtual reality, as it offers tools and results of a impressive quality, all in an easy-to-use interface.
In this course, you will be able to learn:
-How does photogrammetry work?
-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it
-How to optimize scans for custom use (games, movies, etc.)
Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.
It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.
