I said, hey, can you tell me why I make ita requirement for us to read a book a month? We've been doing this for seven-and-a-halfyears. Why? And I got four responses. One of them said, Pat, you want us to improve. I said, okay, great. What else? The other person said, you want our mindsto be working and thinking about work after hours. That was an interesting one.

Mistakes to avoid

 What's happening ladies and gentlemen, Today I'm gonna show you some common mistakes that beginners make when using Vray and Sketchup. Let's get started. Mistake 1 - Textures At The Wrong Scale When applying materials to your objects, it's important to apply the textures at the right scale. The textures being too small or too big can make your render look unrealistic. Here you can see that the flooring texture is too small. To know the typical dimensions of a specific material, you can search for it online like so, or you can reference real life materials around you. To fix it, just go to the Sketchup Material Editor, and use the sample tool to pick the material. Now we can go to the Edit tab and increase the dimensions of that material here. Let's zoom out and measure the width of the wood plank using tape measure tool again. It's around 7 inches now so that's more realistic. In this case, this scene was modeled after a real Project, and in the original ph...

If you don’t want to know that aspect ofpeople’s lives you’re in the wrong profession. But what is an interior design business anyway? Put simply, it’s helping someone else. Your skills are guiding them to the rightdesign, layout and style for them.. Notice I said THEM, not you. This is such a common misconception. Years ago I was a stylist and over those years,I met so many other stylists who styled each of their clients the exact same way. As an interior designer, I’ve met designerswho do the same thi...
