PGAV’s Dave Cooperstein will be presenting Modeling Unusual Things in SketchUp at the SketchUp 3D Summit on Thursday.

Dave shares the creative process, problem-solving strategies, and modeling techniques behind his wildly imaginative SketchUp projects. You’ll learn how to bend traditional tools to tackle unconventional forms, using clever workarounds, extensions, and a bit of SketchUp sorcery.

🔥 Every story starts with a spark.

We recently debuted a new employee art gallery at PGAV centered around a single theme: Storytelling.

Each artist interpreted that spark in their own unique way. The results blew us away. The gallery is a collection of illustrations, lenticulars, cyanotypes, digital art, comic books, 3-D-printed works, and even living installations (don’t worry—they’re just plants). The many mediums represented show how a single ember can ignite something unexpected and unforgettable.

✨ Gather around the campfire. It's time for a story.
