Give me 3 hours a day for 7 days, and you’ll be able to use SketchUp and V-Ray to create amazing, photorealistic 3D renders of your designs.

Inside this Bootcamp, I’ll show you how to learn and use SketchUp and V-Ray in the most efficient way possible, all tailored specifically for interior design. You’ll create a primary bedroom from scratch using my proprietary FOCUSED Method™ that ensures you will learn in the most efficient way possible, saving you time and money!

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!

All Designed To Save You Time While Modeling.

I am so certain you will love this program that I am offering a Risk-Free 14-Day Money Back Guarantee! After 14 days, 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 within 14 days of purchasing, and I will give you 100% of your money back.

What topics will be covered in this course?

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.

What will I be able to do after completing this course?

You will be able to use SketchUp and V-Ray to create a primary bedroom from start to finish and be able to create amazing renders that are photorealistic! You will also be able to use LayOut to create client design PDFs and spec sheets that show measurements, design details, and elevations of your designs. 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.

Is this course suitable for beginners or is it more advanced?

This course is for 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. You will learn my workflow to model a space in SketchUp and render it in V-Ray.

Are there any prerequisites for this course?

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.

Do you offer a course syllabus or curriculum outline?

The course syllabus is shown above and highlights each lesson for the seven day program. Once you enroll in the course, 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.

Are there any hands-on projects or exercises?

This bootcamp walks you through how to create a primary bedroom from start to finish. There are no additional projects, tests, or quizzes in this bootcamp.

Is the course really 7 days long, or can I take it at my own pace?

The course lessons are scheduled so that each day, a certain number of lessons are available to watch. You have access to all the lessons when you purchase the bootcamp, so you can consume the pre-recorded videos at your own pace. However, I recommend sticking to the outlined schedule of the course, and keep in mind that the SketchUp free trial ends after 7 days.

What happens if I miss a day?

If you miss a day of lessons, you can watch them the next day, or any day in the future The lessons are sequential though, so I recommend watching them in order.

Can I access the course content after the 7 days are over?

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.

How will the course material be delivered? (Videos, readings, live sessions, etc.)

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. Lessons are pre-recorded and available instantly when you purchase, and it's up to you on when you want to consume them.

What version of SketchUp is used in the recordings?

The bootcamp lessons are recorded on SketchUp 2024 with V-Ray version 6.

Do you offer any downloadable resources or templates?

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.

Is there a community or forum for students to interact?

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.

Is the course mobile-friendly?

Do I need any special software or hardware to participate?

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).

Can I use an iPad?

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).

Do I need to purchase a SketchUp or V-Ray license?

No, both SketchUp and V-Ray have free trials that you can use to take this course. SketchUp's free trial is only 7 days though, so keep that in mind before starting this bootcamp.

Will the course be compatible with both Mac and Windows?

How much does the course cost?

The bootcamp offer above can be purchased for $599 USD.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Yes! I offer payment plans 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 payment to your card.

What is your refund policy?

Are there any additional costs involved, such as for software or materials?
