3D - 2

What kind of degree is required to do 3D Modeling and Renderings in Sketchup???

I'm currently a CAD Technician (Architectural) and it's alright but I want to get into doing renderings and 3d modeling using Sketch-Up. What kind of degree would I need to do that kind of stuff?

1. I've never used Sketchup, but a degree in Industrial Design does a lot of 3D modeling and rendering. They use programs like Maya, Rhino 3d and Solid Works and do projects like product design, simple architecture and digital sculpture. Purdue has a great program, and I've heard very good things about Notre Dame too. There is a School in San Fransisco that offers degrees online that also looks like a good program. I think it's called Academy of Arts Institute.
2. I've fooled around with Sketchup, and it's probably more intuitive than most CAD programs. Are you asking if you need a degree to USE Sketchup, or a degree to produce 3D models? Sketchup is a free and legal download. As for your degree, I'm not sure if any schools are using it as part of their design courses.
