This is done using Lumion Render rendering software for architectural visualization. It’s a great 3D render software that saves a ton of time for architects because it helps you achieve the level of detail and realism not available in any other similar software.
Lumion Render is fully compatible with most 3D modeling software, including Revit, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, 3ds Max, Rhino, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, and many others.

What do you think of Lumion 12?

[@bd3902]

Wish I could afford the upgrade😭. Anyway thank you.

[@volvogoodtruck1117]

In all honesty.. looking at the twinmotion recent update.. it almost feels that they are very equal softwares. Basically, the new lumion update doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Atleast for me.

[@ZAKarchitects]

It's good specially material setup.. But i hope they could make easy transform gizmo like 3 axis in any RT renderer or 3D software.. How come 12th version and still move and rotate.. Etc with single button or shortcut for each!!!

[@JayMikeWillingham]

@@volvogoodtruck1117 yeah TwinMotion is taking names and kickin' butt with all their integration to BIM and etc.

[@azurtime4172]

Sir what is the specs of your PC ?or laptop?

[@vrharh]

The good thing is the improvements in the part with materials and lights. I see no reason why each new version has a different organization of effects. I'm not really used to the previous one either. As an architect, I think that Lumion is still very useful. Provides fast results in communication with clients. If you are focused only on visualization, there are certainly better solutions. Each program has its advantages and disadvantages. The question is what do you need. In the end, it all comes down to practice and the talent you possess. And constant learning, of course. Speaking of learning, I can recommend Nuno's course to anyone interested in Lumion. There are really a lot of useful exercises and information.

[@NunoSilva3d]

That’s true! Corona can achieve better results, but takes a much longer curve and renders much slower. As with Lumion it’s quite fast to render and easy to learn. There’s always pros and cons to every software. Thank you for the recommendation! 🙌

[@lost-spirit-exploration]

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I am so excited every time, when I see you dropped a new video. Keep up the great work 👍🏼

[@Abubeker]

Volumetric spot light and material properties are the exciting once. i want to see some cinematic animation focusing on the new features of L12. Thank you Nuno :)

[@NunoSilva3d]

I add to that the decals. But the future possibility of adding your custom ones. That will really change a lot.

Take a week just learning the basics and you will be good, I been using soft soft since it was Fruity Loops back in 03, and still learn

[@nichu1463]

As everyone said in comments ,Lumion needs more updates for their price. Just look at the water fountain 😂 its same as lumion 4.5

[@WaseemOnlines]

Thank you very much

[@koekee153]

What a great video. Super well explained, thanks! Any video in your channel on how to record yourself with soft soft? I'm under the

[@eliosaleh9492]

lumion 12 pro is no doubt better then previous versions , the software in a way getting more professional ! but really looking forward for the ray tracing technology to be integrated , i know it means re-engineering the whole software , but I think so far good with the new update ! cheers nuno , always a pleasure watching your videos !

[@NunoSilva3d]

Thank you Elio! Thanks for watching my videos!

[@solfegbez]

You are right. I hope they respond to popular demand for ready tracing ability like vray.

[@ulugbekumarjonov]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0n6uwZ7OmhqM

[@unit102]

I feel they reached the Peak of features ! I hardly notice any major upgrades except small improvements over and over again. version 13+ will really need a major upgrade if Lumion plans to really upgrade and this will be the ray tracing upgrade

[@HarD4545]

They are not going to develope some real time ray trace.

[@mraliali1579]

Very good .. thanks sir 🌹

[@NunoSilva3d]

Thanks! :)

I tNice tutorialnk you speak for a good portion of us.

[@duchenedesignsolutions7036]

Nice job once again Nuno. I haven't read all of the release notes yet, but are you noticing any performance improvements such as framerate counts on 12 vs previous build? Thanks again.

[@NunoSilva3d]

I haven’t tested on that level yet, but I’ll have a look and let you know!

Unreal Engine arch-viz better in all aspect and... free with infinity high quality materials and 3d library. Why Lumion 3000$ every new version ?

[@ulugbekumarjonov]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0n6uwZ7OmhqM

[@HarD4545]

Lumion is waste of money

[@zoraimadonascimentovieiral3813]

Im already here awating for L12 pirate to use it

[@elteirastudio257]

Thanks, Nuno it is really really helpful, my question is that bro, my computer got RTX 2060 Super, AMD Razon7 37 8 core with 16 GB, and I am using Lumion 10. Can I use Lumion 12 instead of it with no problem?

[@unbreakable5001]

Why when I add the rain effect to my interior model I find rain falling inside the room, is there any way to prevent the rain from falling into the room in the interior scenes

[@MrWanted000]

Not a big change imo, they can be implemented in a previous version. Plus it’s way expensive comparing to other render softwares

[@bjoerikdezeure8290]

What about VR? Any idea if this is on the agenda at Lumion?

[@josedanielmlg939]

thank you tNice tutorials is really helpful and an incredibly done tutorial for beginners

[@LearnProfessional1]

GL bro

[@yaroslavbielohuroffua4998]

In The setup hey bro i wanted to know how do u load your Sample guide into the packs in the browser?

[@iemssuthm1477]

So gooooood crack

[@rezamaleki7490]

Thanks for the additional explanation. Very useful items have been added in this version. The most important addition of texture channels that can easily control material behaviors. I hope that in the next version, Lumion will solve the issue of snaps.

[@NunoSilva3d]

Yes, the material is indeed a very useful feature.

[@ulugbekumarjonov]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e0n6uwZ7OmhqM

[@PedroAmaralMusic]

Cool! with this new material layers how could i add something like a surface imperfection map?

[@NunoSilva3d]

I'll explore more and let you know what I find!

[@PedroAmaralMusic]

@@NunoSilva3d Super! that would be awesome, i loved your video about it. But the process is so long that make this feature really impractical for smaller projects.

[@joshuatrinidad1816]

To download soft soft is the download free or do you have to pay for it?

[@ibrahimalshaalan3315]

The problem with twinmotion & D5 is that they require higher GPU specs at least to run specially the ray tracing thing which isn't available for all . That's what lumion is counting on ... Maybe by chance .

[@marcelo.pereira]

I think 3000 euros can buy a PC with a good GPU

[@arcdipesh]

one who can buy lumion doesn't complain about hardware specs.

[@callumbuck944]

Can you flip the camera to portrait now? Framing was such a nightmare in previous versions using the camera effect

[@NunoSilva3d]

There’s no info about it. What you can do it use the overlay effect, and use black bars to help you frame your composition.

[@dhungryarchitect]

so for the new material properties, there is no need to add the targa file anymore? just the image file directly?

[@NunoSilva3d]

Yes, with Lumion 12 you don't need to do that. You can import the maps directly into the dedicated slots.

[@lucasprille4201]

What about aspect ratio of the render? 4:3 1:1 etc!

[@WaveMaster1406]

Thank you Nuno for this great presentation. Personally I think Volumetric Light and new feature in Material are the most exciting.

[@NunoSilva3d]

I agree, but I add to that the decals. It can add another dimension now to your materials, when used right.

[@WaveMaster1406]

@@NunoSilva3d Right

[@homedesign6668]

getting more stronger

[@allenm5934]

Hello Nuno. Does Lumion now handle 4K textures better? If not, what size texture do you recommend?

[@NunoSilva3d]

Hi Allen! 4k textures I recommend using for objects that are close to the camera. Medium-far you will not notice the difference with 2k for example. And right now you can load 4 texture maps separately.

[@estebanbarrios9404]

Ikr!

[@OhBoy3DTime]

Já pensaste em fazer um mini curso para o pessoal aqui no KZbin? De preferência em blender que é open source e assim todos conseguem seguir bem as tuas explicações. Bom vídeo btw👌

[@ulugbekumarjonov]

[@IgorMujan]

Do new material properties allow for velvet materials or do we still need to use plastic weathering tricks?

[@NunoSilva3d]

No specific properties on that.

[@inventorindofurniture]

Lumion the best

[@manojgadekar1976]

What is your pc specifications??

[@ericchevy67]

I notified Lumion of a bug, just an FYI. If you use the "Animated Phasing" effect in video, and add more than 5 phases, you cannot scroll between the "pages".

[@clark0wnz759]

Wow

siiiuuuuu

[@MahmoodInteriordesigner007]

Brightness is not there in Lumion RailLamp Light: Lumion 11 could have increased its intensity but not in this some things please tell.

[@Ramasenirama]

Im live in a cave, i thought lumion 12 is the latest since im using the 10 version . I dont see high significance render output from the 10, and the 10 version smoother for my rig :( . I want to try ray tracing . Is it better than d5?

[@fvargas3089]

nuno there are two courses ? or just one, cause of your newest material the new house

[@NunoSilva3d]

I have two courses, one for Lumion and another for D5 Render.

[@fvargas3089]

If I already bought the course a long time ago, should I pay an extra for the new module?

There has to be a 4D integration with lumion, that will make it blow away any other software! Imagine synchro sync animations with lumion....

Isn't the effects organisation like that since Lumion 10?

[@NunoSilva3d]

No, they changed the categories now.

Hi Sir is RTX 3070 TI GPU is ok for Lumion. I have this budget. Plz. Suggest me RTX 3070 TI OR RTX A4000

the biggest drawback of lumion is lighting effect you can’t give cove light around a circular shape

[@heidad1]

Twinmotion with its new version is a lot better and include raytracing which is a game changer, It built on better engine (unreal) and supports vr. But the biggest advantage is its free!!

[@theis7849]

Thanks for the video Nuno. But Lumion is soon old news. I'm switching to Twinmotion with their new release.

[@NunoSilva3d]

I heard about it with path tracing, but it takes about 1h to render, right? Seems quite a long time then.

[@JagdeepKaler5171]

@@NunoSilva3d Yeah it is bound to take hours. This is why game engines came into the market, but now with RTX and real-time raytracing, people are switching back to path tracing engines. I am sure it will be optimized to take lower render times as in Unreal Engine. Sort of a hybrid approach.

[@paymansalehishafa6884]

I'm still waiting for path tracing and variation control for materials inside camera effects.

Let's hope more interesting things will come on the version 12.3!

Nope. :)

sorry ,tell me How to prevent indoor light from penetrating the walls,,?

Use spotlights that have shadow. Area lights don't have shadows and cause that problem. You can still use them, but adjust the falloff and brightness, so it doesn't pass the walls.

[@teknikimb8544]

@@NunoSilva3d Oh, thank you sir, I understand. I usually use area lights. Maybe that was a mistake. next I will try playing with spotlights. Next time maybe you can make a short video to create a light effect in the room 😄

is it worth it to upgrade from 11.5 pro to 12 pro ?
