Who are you, who, who? (show us those pearly whites )
My name is Henrique Santos, actually my name is much higher, but would faults space to write all.
What is your industry and profession?
Am pilot (aircraft), but a passionate eternal for 3d. Today I have over 40 years of age, but since my childhood and contact with the first computers in the early '80s for me it was a fascinating discovery not only the beginning of the digital age as creating digital art.
Where do you use SketchUp? Personally/professionally?
At first I was already Blender user, but when the SketchUp came to me (version 5.0.295) I used only for personal creations. But then people have come to know my work and ask me things in 3D. And here it is where it all began. Today do various developments for 3D flight simulators as Flight Simulator, P3D, Flight Gear for the FSB companies - Fly Simultor Brazil and i9 Simulations. And also develop content ETS² and ATS. But there are also companies in other industries that seek to request content.
Why do you use SketchUp and what is your favorite thing about it? (Besides using it to impress the babes…)
To answer why SketchUp is now my favorite I’ll make a brief comparison between Blender and Sketchup. “Even knowing full well that both are different programs with different capabilities.” As much as I know how to use Blender correctly, if I create a certain item (let’s call him “X”) … for example I could take three hours to its final conclusion. At the time I can do “X” in SketchUp in just 45 minutes (or less). Namely, its practicality and agility are amazing.
How proficient are you in SketchUp? Beginner, intermediate, advanced?
I am user since version 5 (beta), but I have a good knowledge of the uses and resources, but we are always learning new techniques and ways.
Have you gone to a SketchUp 3DBasecamp?
Unfortunately I did not have the available time to go to a 3Dbasecamp, but when it occurs in my country will certainly be a lot easier (or less difficult).
What is your current set up? Computer type, SketchUp version…etc.290 (Your lake house and Ferrari don’t count)
ATI Radeon XFX with 1GB of RAM and DDR5 // PC with Intel // Three monitors for a better job (or fun, depends on the moment).
Do you have a 3DW page with your models, Extensions, or a website you would like to link to or show off to us?
I have a profile on 3DW, but honestly it’s been awhile that I do updates it.
Anything else you would like to tell us? (e.g., you once saw a UFO & tried to model it in SketchUp to get a prototype 3D printed…)
I entered the community (forum), there is very little time, but want to become more active and participate in helping new users. Because when I started, many people helped me. And knowledge should be sharing.
What is your favorite Emoji?
My is the most common of all
Do you enjoy long walks on the beach…?
I’d rather fly than go to the beach
