SketcUp + Twinmotion

Posted on Posted in Learn and make, UncategorizedTagged , , , Leave a comment

This autumn I learned SketchUp. It is quite different what I have used to use. In work, I use mainly SolidWorks and OnShape on free-time projects. I think SketchUp is good for thing which it is intended: to quickly visualise ideas. And plus side is that lot of other programs can import SketchUp files.

Twinmotion

It is easy to import SketchUp files to Twinmotion. And instantly they look a lot better and more realistic.

    Depiction of women in heraldry

    St. Gall Abbot Ulrich Rösch’s (1462-1491) book of heraldry, containing 1,626 coats of arms of prominent people from the laity and the clergy, mostly from the southern region of Germany. This heraldic book was probably prepared in the Heidelberg workshop of Hans Ingeram for an unknown customer from the area between the Neckar River and the Upper Rhine. In the 1480s St. Gall Abbot Ulrich Rösch purchased the volume and had numerous coats of arms from Swiss and German border areas added in the back pages; these were drawn by Winterthur artist Hans Haggenberg. One of the most important heraldic record books of the 15th century.
