I have an existing SketchUp model of a building and I need it brought into Blender, lit, and rendered as a short 3-D animated video. The animation only needs the basic structure and exterior—no interior set-dressing—so the modelling pass should stay lean. Standard Blender materials are perfectly acceptable; you can apply simple shaders that match the SketchUp colours, but I’m not looking for custom PBR work or high-resolution texture baking on this one. For the camera work I’d like a combination of smooth fly-through shots and a few static angle cuts to highlight façades and massing. Think of a gentle drone orbit that occasionally snaps to a locked, straight-on elevation before continuing the movement. Please handle: • Clean import/conversion from the SketchUp file • Scene organisation in Blender so later tweaks are easy • Lighting setup that flatters the exterior without chasing photorealism • A rendered video (1920×1080, 25-30 fps, H.264) plus the .blend file I’ll supply the .skp as soon as we agree on milestones, and I’m happy to review a quick viewport preview first to confirm pacing and angles before you commit to the full render.

Hi, This sounds very straightforward and honestly like a solid workflow setup, especially since you’re keeping the focus on the exterior presentation rather than pushing for heavy photorealism. I work primarily in Blender and I’m very comfortable handling SketchUp imports, scene cleanup, camera animation, and presentation-style architectural renders like this. The fly-through plus occasional locked elevation shots is also a nice direction visually — it keeps the animation clean and easy to follow without overcomplicating the movement. Before getting started, I’d just like to take a quick look at the SketchUp file to understand how organized the geometry currently is and roughly how large the scene is. That’ll help me estimate the cleanup and rendering time more accurately. I’m also totally fine sending a quick viewport preview first so we can lock pacing and camera angles before the final render pass. Feel free to check my profile and portfolio as well to get a sense of the type of visual presentation work I usually do. Looking forward to seeing the project.

Hi, I went through your requirements and this is a straightforward SketchUp-to-Blender conversion and animation task where scene cleanliness and camera discipline matter more than heavy detailing. I can import and organize your SketchUp model into Blender, keep the structure lightweight and editable, and set up a clean exterior lighting rig that enhances form and massing without pushing into full photorealism. My focus will be on controlled camera movement—smooth orbit fly-throughs combined with deliberate static façade cuts—so the building reads clearly and professionally in motion. Once we connect, I’ll share similar architectural conversion and animation work so you can evaluate pacing, lighting control, and scene handling before we proceed. Quick question: do you want the camera path to feel more architectural and measured, or slightly cinematic with more dynamic motion flow Best Regards, Muskan
