Why use Lumion? Says Lumion User.

-


I am an architectural graphic engineer. The first time I tried 3DS Max I realized that time proportioning modeling was very inefficient. I did not need a design with a curved surface like an irregular shape because I could not have a good architectural design.

So I used Sketch-up, which is easier than 3DS MAX, as a modeling tool. Rendering yielded a rendering result with Vray for Sketch-up.


However, V-Ray for Sketch-up was more unstable than Vray for 3DS Max. Implementing the optimization showed a much faster rendering time than Vray for 3DS Max, but the problem was that there was not enough plug-ins for rendering to add object diversity.




Although there were plugins that supported sketch-up rendering, we could not keep up with the quality of 3DS Max's plugin, the forest pack or terrain. Adding direct modeling of trees to the sketch-up slowed down the program or its quality. So the replacement is the png picture file, but it has resulted in a drop in quality.




Because I have so much work, I had to find fast and quality tools. So what I found is Lumion. When I encountered Lumion, it is the Lumion6 version. With natural plant expression and GPU-driven rendering, the amazing rendering time of up to 10 minutes was a huge advantage.


However, Rumion's rendering evaluation did not escape the quality of the game's Sims. I have improved the quality of the rendering result of Lumion6 by Photoshop calibration. However, due to the fast rendering speed, which is not comparable to vray, Photoshop calibration time was not burdensome. Because 3DS Max also needed a lot of Photoshop calibration time. I was pleased that Lumion was able to follow the effects of 3DS MAX's Forest Pack and terrain.




A year later, Lumion7 was released. Various items have been added more than Lumion6 version. This saved me time searching for the sketch-up warehouse to find items when modeling. Of course, items that are not in Lumion should be modeled directly. In addition, natural weather effects and reflections improve rendering quality. In terms of the Lumion7 version, the quality was the same as the vray, and the evaluation of the confrontation v-ray vs lumion appeared.





The Lumion8 has dramatically improved dramatic rendering and improved speed. There is speculation that Lumion9 architectural rendering will surpass the performance of vray in the future.



I would like to talk about the use of Lumion as a user utilizing Lumion8.

I recommend purchasing the software genuine. If you are accused of using an illegal program, you will be fined at least twice as much, depending on your country. You can find the official website by searching for Lumion on google. If you click on the homepage, a simple homepage opens. You can see the features of Lumion and the rendered pictures in [product, showcase] in the top menu of the homepage. Lumion's latest news is available on the blog. [support and learing] can be found on Lumion's online service. In the [try] item, you can use Lumion for free during the specified period. If you click on [buy], you can see the instructions for purchasing a new version of Lumion9. You can choose between Lumion and Lumion pro versions, which are priced at € 1499 (about $ 1,700) for Lumion and € 2999 (about $ 3,400) for Lumion pro. The differences between normal and pro versions can be found in the ...

3. Let's look at the Lumion setting.

At the bottom right of the Lumion screen, there is a serrated icon. Let's click. The setting menu has very simple settings. Click on the question mark to see a description of the setting. Let me give you a few example. Let's start with [Enable high quality terrain (editor)]. Clicking the icon changes to blue, which reflects the setting value of the corresponding icon. [Enable high quality terrain (editor)] literally activates high quality terrain. Here you can see the text (editor). This is not directly related to rendering, but is visible only when modeling and editing. Of course, rendering is of the same quality. This is a comparative photograph of the no Enable and Disable of high quality terrain. The shadow quality of the terrain and the modeling quality of the far terrain are different. This can be understood as a display in a modeling environment. When editing modeling, you can use the [High Qu...

2. Run the Lumion program. And let's figure out the Lumion main menu.

Double-click the Lumion shortcut icon. You must have an Internet connection to run Lumion. It checks the license on the Internet. It can be installed on multiple computers with one license. However, simultaneous work with multiple computers with the same license is not possible.  The loading time should be about 2 minutes for my computer. When loading is complete, the Lumion main page appears. A question mark appears in the lower right corner. Let's click.  The description of the menu is detailed. I see the kind attention of the program developer.  You can set the language at the top button. If you click on the desired language setting, the program language is supported in the language of the corresponding country. Click to return to the main menu.  Let's look at the middle menu. Home menu first. The first one in the home menu is to set the template that will be the backgro...
