Give me 2 hours a day for 7 days and you’ll be able to use SketchUp and V-Ray proficiently to create amazing 3D renders!
This Bootcamp breaks my FOCUSED SketchUp for Interior Design course into seven, manageable blocks of lessons that are between 1-2 hours of instruction. It teaches The FOCUSED Method™ that ensures you will learn SketchUp and V-Ray for Interior Design in the most efficient way possible, saving you time and money!
Learn How to Create Photorealistic Images with SketchUp + V-Ray
I’m an Interior Designer (along with my wife, Megan) for our design firm, Arched Manor. I have been using SketchUp with V-Ray to wow our clients with photorealistic images of our designs. I spent months learning SketchUp from scratch and developed a custom process for modeling and proprietary library of assets that I use to quickly and efficiently create 3D models.
I have a broad knowledge of SketchUp and know exactly what Interior Designers need to know in order to use it – hence the FOCUSED course name. I have created a training package that is FOCUSED on only learning what Interior Designers need to know to use SketchUp, which saves time – as an Interior Designer, I know all too well how valuable your time is and don’t want you wasting any of it!
Each course is completely online and self-paced so that you can work on it as your schedule allows.
1 of 3The course comes with hundreds of downloadable assets that you can use in your modeling to work faster and more efficiently!
2 of 3In addition to SketchUp, this course covers V-Ray (for creating photorealistic images) and LayOut (for creating 2-D elevations and diagrams).
3 of 3FOCUSED SketchUp is for Interior Designers, or anyone that needs to learn SketchUp with a focus on quickly creating interior models in order to generate photorealistic renders and elevations.

I am so certain you will love this program that I am offering a Risk-Free 48-Hour Money Back Guarantee! Anytime before the third day of lessons (Wednesday 6AM ET), if you are not satisfied with the bootcamp and decide it’s not for you, I will give you a full refund.
All you have to do is contact me before Wednesday morning (Day 3), and I will give you 100% of your money back.
This bootcamp covers all the core SketchUp and V-Ray concepts. I’ll begin by walking you through how to download, install, and configure SketchUp and V-Ray, and how to load my recommended extensions and keyboard shortcut file. I’ll then go into teaching the basic tools of SketchUp, including the rectangle tool, scale tool, push/pull tool, and many more. You will then learn organizational skills in SketchUp, including grouping objects and making components. From there, you will learn how to create a room from scratch - adding doors, windows, furniture, décor, lighting, etc. You will then learn how to use V-Ray, how to apply materials and textures, and how to use create renders. Finally, you will learn about the Chaos Cloud and how to enhance your renders with photoshop.
You will be able to use SketchUp and V-Ray to create rooms from start to finish, and be able to create amazing renders that are photorealistic! You will know where to find the best 3D objects that resemble real-world objects, and know how to create your own if you need to. You will be able to apply materials to 3D objects, paint walls, add flooring, and add realistic lighting.
The course lessons are the same as those in the full course, but the lessons on LayOut are excluded, as are the 5 real-life examples of modeling spaces from start to finish. Also, the bootcamp is a drip format, meaning that each day, lessons are released to bootcamp members. You cannot skip ahead to future day’s lessons.
This course is for absolute beginners, and/or those with some SketchUp experience. I walk you through how to download, install, and configure SketchUp and V-Ray, and show you the basic tools included with SketchUp. This bootcamp is also perfect if you know a little bit of SketchUp, but nothing about V-Ray.
No, the only prerequisites are that you have a working computer (no iPads) that can handle SketchUp and V-Ray, a three-button mouse (can be purchased easily from amazon if you don’t have one) and are able to carve out 2-3 hours a day during the bootcamp to watch the lessons.
The course syllabus is shown above and is also available on focusedsketchup.com. The Course Guide is also available to download and print, and it has ample space for you to add your own notes as you go through the lessons.
This bootcamp walks you through how to create a bedroom from start to finish. There are no additional projects, tests, or quizzes in this bootcamp.
The course lessons are scheduled so that each day, a certain number of lessons will be available to watch. You cannot skip ahead, as the future lessons will be locked. Past lessons are available to watch anytime. The course begins on Monday and goes through the following Tuesday (no lessons on the weekend).
If you miss a day of lessons, can watch them the next day, or use the weekend to catch up on any lessons missed throughout the week. The lessons are sequential though, so watch them in order.
Yes, you will have access to the lessons for the lifetime of the program, so you can always go back and reference any of the lessons and/or downloads.
The course is divided into modules – one for each day. Within each module are a series of lessons. The lessons consist of a video, lesson notes, and any associated downloads.
The bootcamp comes with over 1,000 downloadable 3D assets, including my door pack, window pack, hardware pack, recessed light pack, and shiplap pack. Additionally, the course comes with other downloads such as the printable Course Guide, SketchUp and V-Ray quick reference cards, and my SketchUp cheat sheet.
Yes! When you enroll in the Bootcamp, you will get access to the private Facebook group just for students. This is the preferred way to get support during (and after) the bootcamp. You will retain your access to this group even after the bootcamp ends.
You will need a desktop or laptop that is fairly new (~5 years) that is capable of running SketchUp and V-Ray. I also recommend a three-button mouse for your computer (left, right, scroll wheel).
No, an iPad will not work for this bootcamp. The app for SketchUp for the iPad does not allow extensions (like V-Ray) and will not work for this course. You can, however, use the iPad to view the bootcamp lessons while you work in parallel on your desktop or laptop (which has SketchUp and V-Ray).
No, both SketchUp and V-Ray have a free 30-day trial that you can use to take this course.
The bootcamp retails for $1199 USD, but the special offer on this page is for $599 USD.
Yes! We offer a four-payment plan through AfterPay and Klarma. In the checkout section below, select “Pay another way” and select AfterPay or Klarma. Then click the Enroll button and it will complete your checkout and charge the first of four payments to your card.
Yes, the bootcamp is currently 50% off! Enroll using this page for $599 USD instead of the full price of $1199.
