Flow (SketchUp work)

Ok, so here they are... I used SketchUp Pro6 to help people understand our ideas in the design drawings. I was just going to do around the outside classroom.. but then I felt kinda sad because it was just white around it.. so I started drawing surrounding as well... then ended up to do everything. ha. lol I really like SketchUp... it is just a great tool to make our desing more realistic. (Well, I know physical model is good as well.. I like many different ways to express our ideas.) Anyway.. here are some graphics from SketchUp. Enjoy!











This is the bird-view image.. from south side.
White building is our studio building.













This is the view from BBQ social area towards to outside classroom/pond area.
Pathway is in the swale.. so feel like you are walking on water when it is rainning.











BBQ area/social area could be held party during summer time.
We are proposing glassroom garage door can be replaced to glass door.. so inside and outside will be connected more.











Outside classroom/pond from south-west side..













Outside classroom/pond from south-east side..
hmm I want to hang out there while it is rainning..
hearing rainning, water dripping and flowing into the pond..
That would be beautiful!!

Except it is over over way over budget design.. so it won't be built. lol

Click the link..
it is a video version of it.
Kinda low resolution but oh well.. it still took 2 hours to make a video from Sketchup!

Hello, could you please tell me how to make a movie of a sketchup model? Do I need some extra software for that? If yes, do you have a good reference for that? Thanks a lot!
