[@ShowItBetter]

Hahahaha

[@AsadAli72]

hahaha accurate

[@hendrychan2714]

Dayyyyuuuummmmm~~!

[@ventura9811]

hahahahaha I feel you brother

[@bradvanburen3803]

It looks good. Lumion is nice. My renderings turn out great when using it. It can have that gamey "Lumion-ish" look but if you compose the scene well and have the right textures and models then it's a star. Looking forward to more videos from you Steven

[@need4gears]

Beautiful render! *Just a tip:* you didn't need to erase the black edge of *layer 1* starting at 13:05. That dark contour is created whenever a rendered image is imported into photoshop. To get rid of that black countour, you just need to go (inside photoshop) to: *Layer/Matting/remove black matte* (or remove white matte). You have to consider the image, because sometimes the rendered image has a white contour and in other situations has a black countour.

[@ShowItBetter]

wow! thank you! did not know this!!!!!

[@poloo92]

The colors ajustement at the end REALLY changed it , and turn it great .... It makes so much change 👏👍👍

[@ShowItBetter]

Colors are everything ❤️❤️

[@viniciuspontes8764]

Man, I`m feeling sooo motivated to put my heart into the images. Thanks, Steve

[@ShowItBetter]

So glad to hear that, honestly me too ❤️

[@manikantasrikar5621]

"Shades of colour...in the times of grey" is the title that struck me through the emotion conveyed in the image...

[@nooreddeenalothman1352]

Bro you did a great job.... Most of us didn't think about the emotional part when we render the images just everyone want reality, but this is more realistic than anything els, thank you so much

[@khelifimohamedzakaria776]

a great result ! I too think that the story telling in a rendering is more important than which engine to use

[@ShowItBetter]

Totally agree!!

[@ADSWR]

Looks really good. Doesn't feel like a render. The purpose of this render is clear enough. It's a feel good image and it's doing a great job at it. Looking at it, I doubt people would recognise it's done in Lumion.

[@ShowItBetter]

soo glad that is what it looks like! Now the difficult part is in trying to make other images feel the same!

[@ADSWR]

Genuinely looking forward to seeing how you transform generic architectural renders to such beautiful "childhood memories" like artwork.

[@NgumaNdhuli]

Honestly Steven! It's fantastic - and to think it was mostly done in Lumion. Can't wait for the presentation series for this particular project!

[@amr95ahmed]

I really like it, it looks like a part of an anime or a final scene in a movie when everything is calm, great work

[@ventura9811]

The last two minutes really lifted this video to another level lol. Amazing content!

[@tradentravel]

Ya think you nailed the colors, really pleasing. Composition is really nice also.

[@khaledomara9903]

Man, You are an Artist!

[@pedropesina6294]

The man, the myth, THE LEGEND! Masterful work!

[@ShowItBetter]

Too much Pedro! haha thank you

[@JB-hb1iv]

I've always ignored lumion because that "lumion look" but watching this video you really showed a great way to get away and make the image look truly unique!

[@MeriemM94]

You took Lumion to another level. Thanks for the tips !

[@amiriyoussef2491]

As you told: EMOTIONAL. Just awsome.

[@motivizer5395]

Living on the edge ❤️

[@jentemertens4754]

The first image was already great! It's pure. The buidling and the atmosphere complement each other, your imagination does the rest. To improve the first render... just adding the kid and the ladder may be enough? It could give the image a more interesting/mysterious story! (Really love your vids bdw!)

[@perseohernandez755]

So beautifull image... I feel the wind...

[@nyomanangga6101]

you know what, for me its the best rendered image that you've done so far, greetings from Indonesia

[@alettatoth3393]

Wow! Great work on the emotional part. I honestly think I could just stare to this image for hours. I am not sure exatly why, but this dusty view with those distant mountains works really well. And I can actually feal the heat thanks to the colors.

[@ShowItBetter]

cool that you feel that!! I think that is the hardest thing to achieve!

[@kimhengsrun3859]

I love this... Hope you make more of it.

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Kimheng! more lumion videos coming soon!

[@Micha-qs8rn]

You're cool guy Steven, love the image and your sense of humor with naming it. Actually project so great that I can feel all that nostalgic you're talking about.

[@MatteoFontana]

I love the balance and the color grading! It almost looks like a matte painting image.

[@banjedisney3412]

Love the image the composition and colors are just outstanding It has afilm like vibe😍

[@sgtkort97]

That cropped overlay!! MAAN you are a genius!! excellent render! BTW it looks nothing like a premade lumion render

[@drew9728]

This video is gold! Love the result a lot!! Big fan of your work Steve :)

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks a ton!

[@Deexr]

Thank you Steven

[@roushanbuilds]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@krimsonfunk]

You have a very good eye and taste.

[@cminacardena]

This looks sooo amazing.

[@aex6494]

what a great video, more of these, please.

[@RM-qz8hw]

Beautiful Composition!

[@ShowItBetter]

Many thanks!

[@localjogja1544]

Love your work man

[@verarendering9316]

Nice work dude, really good. Just what I was needing. The result it's very convincing and not so lumionish... Thank you! I like "waiting for dad" so you give an explanation of what is this kid doing there hah

[@OmarCalderon01]

nicely done Steven.

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Omar!

[@arch3ddraftsman]

Beautiful man.

[@ShowItBetter]

Thank you !!

[@godswilloguzie4101]

[@ShowItBetter]

[@ayushpandhare4333]

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks! glad you liked it

[@fbstudio1925]

Ficou incrível, estou amando essas representações com o lumion!!!!!!!

[@ShowItBetter]

Thank you !!!!

[@penvala]

beautiful!

[@ShowItBetter]

Thank you !!

[@SAITEJAtejarchfolio]

it's not about the software u used.., your fingers has some magic bro.. Woahhhhh to see this

[@lancet3962]

It has the Interstellar kind of feeling XD Awesome!

[@sethmoyer130]

Very great video and render 🤘

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks!!!

[@KeplerJohanes]

Perfect! Great result!

[@divyarout14]

this depicts so much !!!!

[@devimpre]

Great job!!

[@ShowItBetter]

Thanks!!

[@Dvox_]

This was great! love the way you created the video also. Going to watch all your content over the next few days! haha thanks

[@annmariyageogy950]

Wooww....just amazing ❤️🔥

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Ann!

[@L3nny666]

composition and color is good. i'm also impressed how fast lumion is. i'm a vray+3dsmax user and to set up something like this would probably take a bit longer. But i gotta say, the outcome would also look better. but still think for architects whose main job is doing architecture and not architecture viz, lumion is the better choice.

[@ShowItBetter]

totally agree!

[@diana.08]

Wonderful image, looks more like a book cover or a movie poster rather than an architectural render - it is definitely telling a story! 'My home is my castle' maybe? The video is such a motivation to get started with Lumion.. Many thanks! :)

[@bordstv8443]

im inspired to make some renders again, thanks as always

[@theerthavm1524]

Wow🔥u nailed it❤️

[@VisEngineLTD]

Great work

[@elnazgolchin3443]

You do it very well is it possible to explain editing with Photoshop a little slowly? thank you

[@e.m.2294]

Please do more LUMION videos!

[@niirceollae2]

Love it 👏.. doesnt even look like lumion

[@ZigonArchitecture]

Damn! This is Excellent work Architect Steven. Thanks for sharing. It is really Inspiring. I was thinking about the title: Gone with the wind.

[@moonztar]

its really awesome

[@anjannnnnn]

this is awesome 🔥

[@TanviRahman15]

Thanks for the amazing tips. The render looks great. Will apply them in my next render for sure. Doesn't look lumion-ish at all. Nice job.

[@ShowItBetter]

Happy to help!

[@abbey4065]

This looks nothing like a minion render. It's amazing. Pls could you make more videos on composition, color and storytelling with renders, I feel we don't think much about those aspects and focus on just trying to render our projects

[@VitorRodrigues-ix6fs]

Its Amazing!

[@arqjoe_1998]

Very good bro.

[@ShowItBetter]

gracias!

[@jacksoncreatives854]

Lovely 🔥🔥🔥

[@Jonesy1597]

How long did this take to create? I often find myself just overwhelmed with the idea of creating renders such as these due to time constraints, but this turned out so beautiful. I think I'm just going to go for it and see where I end up. Thanks!!

[@GunLover-ub4rh]

u could literally hand make everything in this model over the course of like 2 days of work. stop worrying about time constraints. you dont need to finish anything in any set of time. you just need to spend time to do it.

[@Caeser613]

thats amazing

[@carloandregar]

love it

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Carlo!!

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

like photography some big render firms have there pre sets like photographers in Lightroom

[@tomaspavelka4623]

Steve, very very nice, and great idea to play a story going along with the process of vizualization. Perfect! There are still couple of things, which could be perfected in terms of realness. The ropes with laundry are too thick and those posts are too massive as well. On the other hand it gives the image more of fairy tale character. These are just my ideas, I am not critisizing, your work is great and I see development of what you do. Thanks a lot, keep going. Oh, the Title: What about: PANDEMIC DESOLATION

[@animelife1467]

Its amazing

[@stefandraskovic186]

Great image. You can see that on the first look. Once upon a time in the west, it could be the title of the image, like the song of Dire Straits.

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Stefan! really like the title option!

[@Am1nAfshar]

nice one!!

[@NICOLLABEATZ]

Just found out about your channel bro. VERY VERY nice content, keep it up. I have one friendly suggestion, or advice if you want. Find the audio software and mix your voice better, decrease the bass low frequencies in your voice, sometimes I can't hear you very clear, and I think that it would improve the overall quality of your videos :) Take care bro.

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Nikola you are totally right! I need some lessons in audio editing haha hope I can refine it in the next videos

[@NICOLLABEATZ]

@@ShowItBetter I hope you'll do it. Happened that I was a music producer for years before translating into architecture and that is why that caught my ear at first :) Take care bro and just keep posting quality content. Good luck!

[@banjedisney3412]

I think 🤔 a good title would be: Yesterday

[@germb6006]

"Now is the future"

[@liv21226]

How can I get black background photo for portrait scene?

[@0architect-]

Awesome

[@lauitucomp]

My brain is breaking, how did you get the lines channel from lumion????

[@GRUMPNUGS]

Have you done any videos using TwinMotion? I would enjoy seeing a breakdown on that as you have here. Great result and good video (mainly use TM cause it's not as hard on my PC, my frames on Lumion is horrendously bad, compared to TM)

[@prachikansara199]

Can you please share configuration for the pc for such softwares ? :)

[@anhpham91]

Nice video. I notice the edge of the concrete roof and the "components" on the rooftop look a bit deformed (which is a nice detail). Is that the effect from the concrete's displacement map, or you actually manipulate the geometries? Thanks.

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks! I actually went back to sketchup and chamfered the edges a bit, good job on noticing!

[@gai_remz9760]

Sir, which graphic card would you recommend for a person on a tight budget but still able to achieve like high end PC!ish and which graphic you use. thank you

[@joedowning2428]

Great work! Are the project files available to download? I'd love to apply this style to other works

[@ShowItBetter]

thanks Joe! Not at the moment, maybe in the future!

[@blenderhead7356]

I like the composition. It feels a little cardboard, but I think that not a big deal.

[@justinyowell7806]

At 12:00 you have an outline map, how did you get that into photoshop?

[@ShowItBetter]

I set the sketchup style to hidden line view and i exported it as a png! If you want the lines to be white just press CTRL+I

[@eduardoralpuche]

Muchas gracias por tus videos! Me has salvado muchas veces en la facultad! Tengo una duda, cual es el plugin que ocupas para modificar o hacer Topografia en Sketch? :0

[@sketchuplikeapro4572]

Cool !

[@richy7tube]

How would you suggest doing a moody emotional render for a concept house that you are trying to sell?

[@nucalabadze3850]

A for self-irony in the end.

[@lexxandre4025]

I just know we can use imagw overlay that way today

[@matthiasrock703]

Did someone find these curtains in 3D Warehouse? 🙏🏼

[@guidondaru1981]

what is the name of plugin to make the contur in sketchup?? anyone ??
