Okay then, can someone then please show me how to simply unscrew a screw with the Ultrasonic Screwdriver J2000, please, because every time I have tried it staples me to my desk.
Ι always learn a lot from your videos even if I haven't found the courage to start playing around with Blender! Thanks man. Your existence on the internet means a lot to me...
I use Sketchup very often at work, it's great for architecture as you can model solid objects with millimetric precision really fast, but it's actually trash for anything else. Its performance is the worst of all 3D software, once a scene gets big the program just can't handle it. Anyway, being able to draw lines like it's CAD makes it very intuitive and easy to use.
I work in archvis. please stop using sketchup. we have to remodel everything because the triangulation is terrible, normals completely random. If you optimize overlapping points parts of the model just disappear. Sketchup also generates coplanar surfaces “front color” for 2 sided materials and everything ends up on a zero layer. Sketchup is fine if you don’t export, if you do the import it’s a complete mess.
@@rainvortex6181 It's in development as a plugin, CAD Sketcher. Maker Tales here on YT has a lot of resources for it. It's not 100% yet, but it certainly helps to bridge that gap.
Yeah it’s really sad to see many people judging blender because it’s free. They doesn’t know how great it is.. i actually like it more than all Adobe programs. much love and respect to Ton Roosendaal.
How is this even a comparison?. If you're an architect or any related field that uses measurement all the time, it's best for you to use sketchup or 3dsmax since they compliment well with autocad. If you're an animator or digital artists or just a hubbyist use blender or maya. Those two softwares are for different fields. It's better for you to compare Blender and Maya, or 3ds Max and Sketchup.
@@ahsankhan-nc6wd Cycles x makes cycles fast,and not better other renderers like arnold and vray have far better volumetrics and have features like light linking and studios use Vray and arnold so you have to learn it if you want a job.sure cycles is good but I don't think you should compromise quality for speed.Thanks.
I struggled with Sketchup for a long time. Unintuitive user interface, very limited and no render engine. Then an apprentice showed me Blender. Blender takes a little getting used to. But it's obvious: the program can do so much that it's not done with a few toy buttons. The feature set is epic. Small consolation for beginners: You don't have to know much in Blender to build good images or simple animations. But if you have the time and the desire to learn, you can create incredible worlds with it! It's pointless to compare the two programs: Sketchup is too expensive for the features, Blender is free and offers more than enough possibilities to make a living.
Sketchup is less recommended in architectural faculties nowadays since few years. Rhinoceros is the favored software due to scripting, compatibility with 3d printing and better precision. Sketchup is too limited.
Not to mention that Trimble wants to charge a premium for their software on an annual basis when all the heavy lifting is done by 3rd party developers. All of their development is on stuff nobody cares about.
It would be nice to see the best renderers for Sketchup with comparisons. I recently found Thea Render for sketchup and it looks nice, but I wonder how it compares to other renderers outside of sketchup, like corona.
every renderer can be good in an experienced person, the issue is that sketchup is trash cause it needs 100000 plug ins in order to do any significant stuff.
If you only look at pricing, versatility, and rendering, then blender should not be compared to sketchup. Sletchup + Layout makes it compete with BIM software such as small scale revit, and it's easier for concept ideas. The longer time you spend, the more details you can get.
I use Blender for making things such as creatures 👹👽From sculpting, texturing, vfx, to animation. ❤Blender being free, allows someone like me who has low money to make things. Love it❤ And if I ever end up with a comfortable income, I'll donate monthly to the fund :)
Honestly i think this video is kinda dumb. Blender is a 3D program for pretty much everything and it does a lot of things really well. Sketchup is a 3D program specifically built for architectural visualization. They're both good programs but they shouldn't be compared because it doesn't make any sense to compare them,
It does make sense to compare them for people like me who have been using sketchup for archviz but want to switch and explore more open-source options. And thanks to some comparisons like this one i have completely switched to blender since last 2 years and find sketch up very limiting and dumb whenever i am forced to use it.
wrong, sketchup could be used for furniture modeling but its not great for it, there are better options to model that kind of stuff even 3ds max is better at that than sketchup
It could be... I have license for two year, but this program is a joke for woodworker. No arcs export, no bevel or chamfer, no rendering, no proper user interface (for entering numbers etc..). I stay with combo Rhino + Blender (Rhino for complicated 2,5D CNC parts and blender for furniture).
I am involve with a multi million mega project....solely using Sketchup for 3D architectural modeling/construction & site preparation 3D visualization for client
Very informative. I never really thought about Sketchup till I saw this video. Great work guys. Keep it coming. One question concerning Sketchup. Can I import scans from the ipad pro plus can I also import models from Kitbash3D. AGAIN many thanks. Please let me know....
I also raised a brow to that. I am not 100% sure about this, but the speed improvements made to Cycles X, OptiX and so on, make it extremly competitive, if not hands down better.
I actually find Sketchup to be MUCH LESS intuitive and inscrutable than Blender when it comes to modeling or troubleshooting at the mesh level. And like others have alluded to, good luck when you start getting into the thousands of polygons or more. Don't get me started on the "always model on layer zero" BS and the trouble you can get into if you forget to. Unless you have a very specific CAD or archviz use case requiring exact dimensions, Blender is superior, IMO, even for archviz that is more about inspiration than precision. Also, and this is very subjective, I just find Blender more FUN to model with!
@@petrapatia6395 Where do you see me scoffing? I loved SU and spent countless hours learning it and trying to make it my go-to DCC tool. But in the long run, I found it more difficult to work with than Blender. It's not about whether you "think in mesh" - SU models are built with meshes just like in Blender, so you're going to be dealing with them whatever app you use. And problems inevitably creep into those meshes. The difference is that mesh-level issues are more difficult to troubleshoot and fix in SU than in Blender, imo.
Hi! My graphic card is an ASUS Geforce GT 1030 2GB gddr5, I wanted to know if blender would work well in this or it would kill my pc, I know my card is not the best but at the moment is the one that I can have, if is not possible to use this program with this graphic card what do you recomend? Also for now I want to explore the program I'm still not into the 3D world
I bought Sketchup Professional for around $700.00 and found out it is unusable since the monthly, yearly plans were introduced. My purchase became useless. BB Sketchup
it doesn't really matter how much potential a tool has if it takes you a lifetime to learn. Blender is only easy to use if you're someone who already knows how to use it. The program started out as one of the most unintuitive and complicated programs to learn, and that remains to be the case despite it's advancements. This is primarily because it's development and user base simply don't believe newcomers when they say it's difficult. Many quality of life improvements for navigation and process efficiency are only available as paid for extensions to the point of nullifying the "free use" variable. It's personally quite amusing to hear blender users call sketchup's tools 'bare minimum' or 'simplistic' since that correctly implies that blender is inefficient at those same commands, and indeed it seems strange that for a program with 'limitless' potential, blender still cant match that efficiency, click for click, which is, imo, a very serious flaw. I say all this not at a knock on the video but to express my continued frustration as someone who's tried to learn blender on multiple occasions after mastering sketchup, and as someone who would love to have access to blender's advanced features with the same intuitive mental flow that is possible in sketchup. The goal seems wide open for blender to feature sketchup's efficient modeling toolset, but that will never happen if blender devs & users continue believing that blender is already the pinnacle, and that the rest of us just need to 'get good'.
blender is like the dark souls of graphic design software. that is, if dark souls had the controls of a crappy nes game from the 80's. because this is how blender feel. from the terrible camera and controls to the terrible user interface. blender is an absolute hellish nightmare to work with. i prefer paying some money for a better software then this piece of crap. i hate how people praise this piece of pigeon poop. if you want your game completed in the next 20 years you better not relay on blender.
I install and then uninstall blender 4 time because I didn't believe that a free software can compete with maya and other expensive software 😂😂 now I am fall in love blender. 😍😍😍
8:21 You are mistaken, a lack of intuitivity does not make a program more advanced or give it a larger feature set. A lack of intuitively makes a program non intuitive, period, mic drop. Even the most feature rich and advanced applications can be made intuitive given an intuitive gui, of course this depends on both the gui developer and the user being aware of the processes and steps involved in whatever it is the user of the application expects the application to do. Blender suffers from a lack of both when it comes to inexperienced users. The Blender community likes to only blame new users unfamiliarity with the application for the interface being non intuitive, but the truth is the gui is, in fact, very non intuitive and only recently has begun to see improvements.
those comparison videos between softwares are funny and dont make any sense , sketchup is built for architect modeling and fast production , and blender designed for artists and animators , yes you can use it for architecture but it gonna be pain in the a** to accomplish what u will in sketchup whithin the time limit , visca for sketchup it impossiple to do the complex moddeling with sketchup even with the paid plugins its still struggles
There is no such thing as better since those tools are made for different purposes. Sketchup is deidacted for architects while Blender is way more suitable for artists.
