Revit & Lumion Exterior Rendering Workflow Tips and Tricks

[@sureshcivil8627]

Thank you -- 1st tutorial on Revit - really impressive - i imported basement project & full landscape is filled in the basement - removed in the way how u did.Thanks followed all your steps

[@JosephKim]

Nice!

[@samlll6878]

This was great !! Just figuring out how bad revit really is for rendering. I didn't even try to look into more options.

[@JosephKim]

:)

[@harrychufitness]

Great job! I like the middle one watercolor, clients get too hung up on details.

[@JosephKim]

Absolutely! You are so right! I'd prefer the watercolor/sketchy style to keep their eyes away from the details, and focus on architecture!

[@rizalstudioonly]

That's a very nice, non-malignant cliche. Long ago I learned to revit could not until now be viable

[@JosephKim]

[@SuperbD2009]

Looks really good. how does your GPU hold up? might need to upgrade if I want to see a lot of details.

[@JosephKim]

I don't think having a better card allows you to increase the quality. It just allows the scenes to load without delays and render quicker.

"These trees may not even grow in the same region or area but doesn't really matter" 😂✌, Great tutorial man thanks.

[@JosephKim]

Haha, thanks!

hello. I want to ask do you have to keep revit open at all times while you are working on lumion ? what if i want to close revit after i have imported the model just to make the computers performance better does this affect my ability to " refresh " any updates in revit latter if i decided to edit the model in revit after closing it ? and what if i closed lumion after saving the model . when i re-open lumion to continue working on my scene do i have to reopen revit and click the play button to open lumion? or can i work on the saved lumion file directly ?

[@JosephKim]

I haven't tested out on the latest version, but it seemed to work either way. You can just import the file if you don't want it to be synced all the time.

[@randomrevit9247]

2ND watercolored looks good

[@JosephKim]

I agree!

[@paokpig]

all these things in the library like the cars , trees , people you made it or it was included in Lumnion ?

[@JosephKim]

Yep!

[@paokpig]

what you mean yep !? you made them or it was included ?@@JosephKim

[@JosephKim]

@@paokpig oh sorry. It was included.

[@OklahomaHotdog]

Why did my revit 2023 now errored and cannot open after I installed the extension?

[@JosephKim]

I have not tested on Revit 2023 yet. Does Lumion officially support it?

[@cdrdraftingdesignllc6354]

@Joseph King thanks for sharing. I'd like to know where did that specific sample project came from? you mentioned was part of the 2020 Revit release, however it wasn't, Autodesk still using the same Sample project file since back the 2019 release. is this a REVIT LT version of the basic sample file. Thanks!

[@JosephKim]

It is a bit buried inside the folder system, but I believe that it was in the same folder as the usual 'sample project'

[@jonathantsado5053]

Love this

[@JosephKim]

I'm glad!

Thank you for sharing！

[@JosephKim]

Thanks for watching!

[@hydrated-pigeon]

Newer to Revit; New to Lumion... Can you provide resources about this method (livesync) working with Design Options from Revit? Thanks for the video!

[@JosephKim]

I personally prefer not to use design options. But I think it depends in which view you pick to sync.

[@charlessaifah-arthur3150]

Please I want to know the short hands keys using in Lumion

[@JosephKim]

Shortkeys? You can see them listed on their webpage and it shows on the right.

[@tugceutas6925]

Hi it was great tutorial! İn my project when i export from revit to lumion, subregion (roads) doesnt appear. Do you know how can i solve that?

[@JosephKim]

The subregions must have different material for it to show up correctly on Lumion side. If it is, I'm not sure why!

[@renemvoubi2693]

Hello, The elements in a circular arc after being exported to Lumion are no longer real circles, but arcs or circles composed of lines. How to restore them?

[@JosephKim]

You can change the settings to increase the segment count.

Hi!

[@gideondunbar4218]

Heyy bro do you sell courses? I really really really want to learn this

[@JosephKim]

Haha, no I don't. I wish I had time to do that. What else from this video would you like to learn?

[@4ndressa957]

Hi Joseph!! I'm freaking out trying to find a way to import from Revit with layers... Because Lumion now have a way to animate them, they call this animated phasing. But I can't find a way to use with Revit. Do you already know it? I'm surffing into a milion videos and I found nothing. I saw a video for dwg export with layers (revit->dwg) but I dont know if it'll work with .dae !! ç.ç omg hahah maybe it's so simple and I don't know HOOOW TO MAKE IT. Thanks for your video anyway! (ENglish its not my firts lenguage, sorry for that haha)

[@JosephKim]

I don't think there is a way to piece one Revit file to different layers.

[@4ndressa957]

@@JosephKim Huum I understood... So I'll try save different Revit's files, from different views.. (like one with only walls, one with windows.. .) then load all .dae on same lumion file.. ç.ç Tks for your help Joseph!

Hello Mr. Joseph Kim. Good afternoon. I am Ajayi Isaac🇳🇬 and I love your tutorial and mode of communication. I want to increase my horizon in architecture and designing. I will love to be your student and get your mentorship. Waiting for your response sir. Thank you.

[@JosephKim]

Hi, welcome and thanks for the comments. You are always welcome to watch my videos anytime.

[@gilmamucud2288]

Specs of the pc your using?

[@JosephKim]

I've listed and showcased it several of my videos. RTX 2080 Super is probably the most notable thing.

[@slall1078]

👍

[@JosephKim]

😝

[@mauriciocornejo1442]

I DONT KNOW WHY BUT EVEN WITH A SOFTWARE LIKE LUMION FINAL COMPOSITION LOOK HIGHLY CHEAP LOOKING. CARTOONISH..........................YET THE HERD MENTALITY WILL TELL YOU TO USED THIS SOFTWARE. / AS A DESIGNER, I STICK TO MY RHINO, V RAY AND PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR. SOTWARE.............

[@JosephKim]

Thanks for your feedback.

[@fatimasiddiqui9008]

To each their own !

[@kalistasjayawickrama]

I think sketchup lumion rendering best ...

[@JosephKim]

Haha, everyone has their favorite style!
