My advice is not to get to hung up on a streamlined e methods that work for you.Lumion excels with speed.and as for real time, forget it ! Our team is a two person operation.long hours and lots of determination (and coffee) None of these animations are marketing documents, just design development tools. All courses are 50 OFF until the end of the month of February 2020https://.
In short, Lumion imports in a myriad of formats, the biggest issue being scale A quick video showing how to install the Lumion plugin in your SketchUp program. Adds support for HDR image-based lighting, with almost 40 sky options included Podium Browser is now fully included with a Podium V2. The program lies within Photo & Graphics Tools, more precisely 3D Design. SU Podium V2.6 has been released for SketchUp 2017 - 2021. Sketchup plays an important function for setting up scenes, instancing and texturing.unfortunately not the strong areas for fz, however we don't use the live sketchup pluginįz really needs to improve mapping and terrain modelling ! The complex landforms are all sketchup built Loft along Path joins contours, along a given rail curve. Little bit of background info on setting all these scenes up.Ī lot of the major architectural models are fz, actually all are very simple 'sketchy' geometry. Hey guys, thanks for the all the positive comments I think if I were to go down the path of realtime rendering it'd have to be Twinmotion using the UnReal engine as I'm on a Mac system. Thanks for posting these Pipo, they are outstanding.ĭo you mind if I ask how much FormZ modelling was involved and if so did you hit any road blocks getting data in Lumion?Īlso, was there a team involved or did you do all that yourself? There's a lot of work there. See below a few examples.I will post a few more recent ones done with the latest 10.5 when the projects become public so everything below is It is an extremely expensive app for what it does.the updates are frequent but you pay a huge price each time for only very limited enhancements. That being said it is possible to produce animations of reasonable quality as long as you don't get to hung up on the correctness of the render quality. The reasons for this are the GI is not advanced enough and the lack of ray tracing require reflection planes to be manually placed of which there are a maximum of 10.ĭon't get too excited about the "vast" libraries as realistically, only a fraction of this is of medium quality.
I don't consider Lumion as a tool for still images full stop, only for animation. The most important consideration is end use. We have been using Lumion since version 7.but really only a usable option since version 9 I thought I would throw in my five cents worth here
