These are good highlights. Lumion doesn't get enough credit for all the dozens of tutorials and info on how to use it. From their website and blogs, RU-vid channels. Their website is really clear and polished and easy to navigate for the info you're looking for. They have good branding and marketing. I haven't seen that from other other "realistic" render engines (V-Ray, Corona).. Even though I know you could find their tutorials if you look hard enough. That's what sold me on Lumion is that there is so much information about its features, requirements and how to achieve good results fast. -and channels like this Chris. Good job.
Oh yes. Lumion is great. It has made my job 1000x easier. Before I got Lumion I was using other render plug-ins that would take hours to render. - And still would need photoshop to correct lighting and color. I love the effects that help convey realism and post production like features such as color correcting and exposure levels. It isn't talked about very much but I am a big fan of the Import Edges feature. Since alot of our CAD dwgs are drawn to show flooring tile layouts and cabinet reveals from our plans and elevations, the edges feature is actually very important. I am very happy they have added the Orthographic feature as well. I am hoping for real time ray tracing in the future. Thx Chris for the tutorials. I use your PBR workflow with the alpha masks in Targa format often. Go Lumion!
Oh! I cannot fail to thank you, Chris for your tutorials. They were immensely helpful back in the day. I've been learning from you since Lumion 4. You may not realise the impact your educational content have made. My colleagues and students marvel at my work and ask how I managed to get so good. I simply tell them to look up Chris Welton on RU-vid. Many of them have gone ahead to create several beautiful scenes, thanks to you. From me and my folks in Nigeria, thank you so much! ❤️ 🇳🇬
Wow that is an amazing story and compliment. Shoot me an email if you'd ever like to talk. I'd love to hear more of your story. Chris@cweltondesign.com
Lumion currently doesn't have ray tracing. On exteriors Lumion can go toe to toe with real ray tracing currently, it's the interiors that Lumion requires more effort to keep up with. This will all change soon
