For this tutorial we will use our own North American Grass Pack and some perennial weeds to add some realistic variation and appearance. Skatter is a new particle extension for SketchUp that is packed with powerful features that make populating surfaces with objects a simple task. In this tutorial you will be introduced to using Skatter to create realistic lawns in SketchUp. Eric also shared the SketchUp file with the steps to modelling included in an easy to follow scene-based file. SketchUp modelling mastermind Eric Lay shows off a great technique to quickly model a gyroid in SketchUp. This technique is particularly useful for Architectural models that require you to reflect the real world construction using only a texture.
