Lumion 7 Webinar on Youtube

Michael Brightman, of Brightman Designs hosted a webinar on December 1st, describing how to “Maximize Lumion 7″. 

In case you missed it, you can now check it out on Youtube.

8000+ people logged in live to watch Mike’s demo, which was a great introduction and overview to some of the main features in Lumion 7 and how get the most out of them. Definitely worth a watch!

Lumion 7: Teaser image explained

Lumion 7 has just been released and just one day later, reactions to the new features have already been amazing! One of the questions we’re getting a lot is ‘how did we achieve the striking quality of the teaser images?’ This blog throws some light on how the image below was made.

Interior scenes require care. The materials and the room lighting are crucial in making the space feel inviting and stylish. Some general tips about making interior renders can be found in a recent blog. 

Lumion 7 comes with a number of features that allow you to transcend what was previously possible. These features make all the difference in finishing an image. How did we get the image above to look so good?

Area Lights and Light Strips

Lighting is critical. There are two kinds of lighting to think about when placing lights:

1. Direct lighting. Area lights were placed over the windows to simulate extra sunlight coming through them. 

2. Indirect lighting. It’s important to place area lights in such a way that they simulate reflected light. For example, bright spots on floors and walls can be created with area lights.

The image above shows around a dozen positions where area lights of varying dimensions have been added. Light strips have been added above windows on both sides of the room too.

Weathering

Weathering is a powerful effect that can add subtle details, especially to complex shapes, to impart them with character and make them look like the belong where they are. It’s called ‘weathering’ but can also be thought of as a kind of ageing, erosion or even corrosion, depending on the material it’s applied to.

In the teaser image, weathering was applied to the tables, metal plates on the mezzanine and the wood at the bottom of the sofas. The effect makes them aesthetically more appealing but also makes blend into the scene as a whole.

In addition to weathering, every material needs some specific attention. Typically you’ll need to tweak the reflectivity, relief and colorization of each material.

Transparent Fabric

The curtain draped over the sofa on the right-hand side of the image is made of transparent fabric and the lamp shade material is transparent too. Transparent fabrics are a simple way to add subtlety and style to an interior scene.

Foliage

Outside the window on the right-hand side of the image you can see that ivy has been added to one of the walls. This is a very subtle addition but the green contrast is a nice detail and every good render requires attention to detail!

Lumion Effects

Effects are always a crucial element in getting your render looking right. Without effects, an image will very likely lack the style and mood that you’re looking for. The effects button in Lumion is the doorway to top-notch renders.

The effects stack used in this image includes the following: shadow, sun, volumetric sunlight, reflection, sharpness, fog and color correction. The image below shows a combined screenshot of the settings used on each of these effects in the teaser image.

Rendering and Iterating

Rendering the final still image, be sure to use Hyperlight. You need to find a setting which works best for your scene, so it’s worth trying out a few renders with different hyperlight settings. For this teaser image, a 64% hyperlight setting was used.

Iterating in Lumion is easy because images take seconds to render, making the feedback loop effectively real-time. Iterating allows you to work towards the perfect image by selectively tweaking and re-tweaking to help you get the details right.

Summary

Creating a compelling render is like creating good art. You need a good eye, talent and the desire to practice. Luckily, these are characteristics that many Architects possess and luckily too, Lumion 7 provides an easily accessible and powerful artistic palette to work with.

Lumion 7 has Arrived!

Feel the space with Lumion 7. 

Available now!

Recognizing that not all buildings need to be pristine or perfect, the new features in Lumion 7 remove the coldness of computer-generated imagery by seeking out edges, roughness and other properties of natural materials to make them look like they’ve been around a while.  

Cover models with leaves or add weathering, ageing and transparency. Add light strips or area lighting, transform any object into thousands of leaves or add ivy to a wall, put your model on the map with OpenStreetMap, all with the click of a button.

Even professional visualization artists would have a hard time creating these features, which in Lumion 7 are now simple tasks.

У меня очень большие надежды на данный продукт. Но я прекрасно понимаю, что больших надежд возлагать на эту программу пока не стоит, т.к. то, что нам показывают в демо, подвергается жёсткой пост-обработке. Но всё равно красиво конечно.
