LiveSync your Vectorworks model in Lumion 9.3

With the new LiveSync for Vectorworks plugin, you can immediately create beautiful, impactful experiences from your 3D models.

Lumion 9.3 was released last Monday as a free upgrade for Lumion 9 users, and it included a batch of exciting new features to help architects create an impactful, sensorial experience in their 3D designs.

Also new in Lumion 9.3 was LiveSync for Vectorworks, a plugin that enables a live, real-time synchronization with Vectorworks 2019 SP3.

With only a click, you can synchronize your Vectorworks 3D model with Lumion and begin dressing the model with elegant materials and objects from Lumion’s extensive content library. Instantly, you’ll get a feeling for what your model will look like in its real-life setting, whether that’s in the center of an urban metropolis or a picturesque rural environment.

Example of a LiveSync workflow

Keep reading below to learn about the Lumion LiveSync for Vectorworks plugin, but if you’re looking for information about Lumion 9.3, check out our article on the Knowledge Base: Lumion 9.3: Everything you need to know.

How to download and install LiveSync for Vectorworks

Before you start LiveSyncing all willy-nilly, the first step is to make sure you have the compatible software: Lumion 9.3 (or newer versions*) and Vectorworks 2019 SP3 (or newer versions).

Lumion 9 users can upgrade to Lumion 9.3 for free. If you are a Lumion 9 user, then you should've received the Getting Started email with a download link. Click here if you haven’t received that email.

With the right software, you can begin downloading and installing the LiveSync for Vectorworks plugin. Watch the tutorial below for a complete overview of this process:

Automatic model import

Now that you’ve successfully installed the LiveSync plugin, you can begin simultaneously modeling and rendering, all while seeing your live Vectorworks model in Lumion’s compelling scene editor.

When you hit the “play” button on the LiveSync plugin, Lumion automatically imports your Vectorworks model. Continue working on and modifying your project even after you turn off LiveSync, and easily save the Lumion file for future rendering or development.

See your building while you build it

One of the main advantages of LiveSync for Vectorworks is its ability to immediately visualize changes to your Vectorworks model’s form and shape. Modify the shape of your model and you’ll see these changes taking place, in real-time, in Lumion’s breathtaking, expressive environment.

As you continue modeling in Vectorworks, you can simultaneously view your project in Lumion surrounded by an immersive, fully featured landscape (mountains, water, grass). This can be especially helpful when you want to see how changes to the design affect elements such as light and shadow, and it can provide invaluable insight when solving design problems.

Real-time materials synchronization

Beautiful materials can make any design 'pop', and with over 1,000 materials available in Lumion’s extensive content library, it’s easier than ever to show the intricate and beautiful textures of your designs.

By adding high-resolution materials to your Vectorworks model, it’s like breathing life into your design. Suddenly, while looking at a static image or an animation, you can imagine the rough texture of the walls, the feeling of grass, and so on.

Live point-of-view synchronization

The new LiveSync for Vectorworks feature also enables live point-of-view synchronization. Turn it on and immediately adopt the Vectorworks camera perspective, making your work easier, faster and more enjoyable.

LiveSync re-connection rules for Vectorworks 2019 SP3 and newer

In general, visualization is an iterative process and it’s rare that you’ll finish the 3D design and render all in one day. For this reason, the Lumion LiveSync for Vectorworks plugin has made it easy to re-connect your Vectorworks model to your Lumion project.

Here are a few of the rules when re-connecting these two programs.

Rule #1: Your Vectorworks model has the same file name and location

If you haven’t changed the Vectorworks file name and location, then Lumion will resume the LiveSync connection the next time you load your Lumion scene and click on “Start LiveSync” in Vectorworks.

For example:

Day 1

Filename: MyModel_001.VWX

File location: C:\ drive

Day 2

Filename: MyModel_001.VWX

File location: C:\ drive

How to re-connect:

Open both the Lumion scene and the MyModel_001.VWX in Vectorworks, and click on “Start LiveSync.”

Rule #2: Your Vectorworks model has a new file name and/or location

If you have saved your Vectorworks file under a new name (and the first 5 characters of the name are different) and/or if you have saved the Vectorworks file in a new location, you will have to do the following:

Save the .VWX file (where you normally save it)

Export a .DAE file with the same name and location as the .VWX file

Re-import the model in the Lumion scene with the .DAE file you just exported

The next time you click on “Start LiveSync” in Vectorworks, Lumion will know that you want to use the Vectorworks project in the same location (and with the same name) as the .DAE file you imported.

For example:

Day 1

Filename: MyModel.VWX

File location: C:\

Day 2

Filename: MyNewModel.VWX

File location: D:\

How to re-connect:

Re-import the new .DAE file before clicking on “Start LiveSync” in Vectorworks.

Rule #3: Your Vectorworks model has a new name in the same location

If you have saved the Vectorworks file in the same location but under a new name, and at least 5 consecutive characters of the new name match the old name (saved from the last time the LiveSync connection was running), then Lumion will provide an option to re-connect via LiveSync.

For example:

Day 1

Filename: MyModel_001.VWX

File location: C:\

Day 2

Filename: MyModel_002.VWX

File location: C:\

How to re-connect:

While in Lumion, you can re-connect LiveSync by selecting the model and clicking on the Re-connect to LiveSync button in the Object Options panel in the top right corner.

How You Can Make Things Change in One Click or Real-time Rendering

It is no news for anyone that most inventions and technologies are not used for their original purpose. Real-time rendering is no exception to that. Something that was initially designed as one of the gaming technologies now has moved beyond the limits of industry. The real estate sector didn’t stay immune to the trend and has adapted it to its own needs. If you would like to know more about the advantages and areas of use of real-time rendering, please bear with us.

We are almost certain that someone who had the idea of using real-time rendering in the real estate sector was (and probably still is) a hardcore gamer. Who could be this reckless explorer to have figured out one day that this technology may as well be used for such a serious industry?

We have repeatedly written about the advantages of renders and 360 3d panoramas in the real estate sector. You can find articles about this here and here. Architectural 3d animation is also quite popular. But real-time rendering is definitely something new. It’s not that you just watch and rate. It doesn’t look anything like a banner or a picture in a brochure, or an image on a website. And it is not a clip you are watching.

Forget the observer role: you are no longer a passive player. Feel free to do what you are willing to do, go wherever you want to go and configure settings the way you like. Look around the building, change wall colours or sofa upholstery – it’s up to you how you would like to interact with the image. It’s almost like a fairy who turns a pumpkin into a carriage with a magic wand, except the fairy is you.

If you talk about the process itself, Real-time Rendering happens in the following way: you move in the previously modelled 3D scene and your every step is processed so fast that it seems that the environment you currently find yourself in has been ‘rendered’ right at this moment. Due to the speed of processing you get the impression that you are wandering freely in the three dimensional environment.

Isn’t it the best marketing tool for the sphere of real estate? It is up to you whether to use this application at the development phase, during investor targeting, or while presenting the dwelling to the potential buyer.
