Putting my portfolio together......

olishea

let me guess you've taken a full fledged training in Advanced SketchUp

NO! I learnt everything from this website! also, the podium and twilight forums helped me up-my-game, so I thanks all the members there for helping me polish up my presentation skills (which I was very seriously lacking; I had ideas but couldn't communicate them effectively)

I only made one sketchup model at university, everything else was hand made and hand drawn. 3D programs scared me a bit until I discovered this wonderful software and all the awesome plugins!its important to master your hand before you master the computer IMHO.

you've truly inspired an architecture student like me........

keep at it. its just a matter of patience, experience and willing. I still know nothing and I've been working/studying for nearly 5 years. I dont think I'll ever stop learning and discovering new horizons.

oli, you are hired! come by the office at 8AM on monday.

you know edson, if I had a plane ticket I would be there! you are a fantastic architect.

I just hope my university find it impressive! there is LOTS of competition!

Thank you all for your truly kind comments. Glad you came by!

oli is absolutely right. persistence can take you very far.

although there is a lot of nonsense on the internet, looking in the right places can teach you a lot. i learned all i know about sketchup from the forums and blogs and the 2 or 3 books that have been published about it. as for rendering, i was an absolute zero until i started visiting forums like kerkythea's and podium's. i can safely say all i know about rendering came from those forums and from here.

anyway, good luck with your application.

Nice work Oli!

You're hired... It looks fantastic. Oh, and thanks for making me feeling inferior... Normally, that's my girlfriend that does that.

Rich O Brien

You both know that this thread is 4 years old?

Krisidious

My comments still stand... And now I just feel that much more inferior. Thanks.

olishea

haha thanks.

I probably should have followed this up at the time...but the portfolio worked and I was accepted for my post graduate degree. There is a huge amount of work I've done since compiling this portfolio.

I really should have a true online portfolio but never got round to it.

Mike Amos

Oli, you have some fantastic stuff there, apart from agreeing with the point Richard made on overlapping the standard is your usual high one. Dood you rock.

olishea

Thanks Mike, that really means a lot.
