Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about this newest update in the comments below! :)

[@listinglazily]

ABOUT TIME they updated that dang cluster tool. That'll save so much time when doing prairies and other landscapes! As a landscape architect, I've always felt some of the tools feel just short of really being useful so this is great to hear!

[@masonroche1]

Love your content Justin.

[@NiceTower]

thank you ❤

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks for watching!

Hello, in this version it is possible to make a plane invisible but at the same time to be able to project the shadows of the surrounding and overlying objects on it? I think it is a very important function in photo matching but not present in Lumion as opposed to other software!

[@khalifahjamaluddin]

Hope you could review latest Twinmotion 2023.2 as well.

[@yehianassar5224]

Any solution for trees reflections in the glass when using ray tracer ??!

[@mikebellmaps]

The last major update made light placement impossible! I'd love to see how that works now

[@bradvanburen3803]

Custom HDRI and Landscape textures are my favorites. Maybe Lumion can enhance the weathering feature, like enhance the effects to be more modernized and have more control. (Color of the distressed pattern, cracking effects, control of where the distress starts like from the edges of the texture or the center) If they could implement displacement in it somehow.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

That sounds good - I'd like to see that feature improved :)

[@SkillipEvolver]

Hey Justin, what’s your PC spec?

[@3DGvisuals]

5 or 6 years ago Lumion was the best instant renderer bar none, but I don't see it offering anything that Twinmotion, D5 or in some cases even Enscape doesn't already offer at a substantially lower cost. Is there anything unique about Lumion?

[@Alef.93]

Lumion is still the renderer with the best selection of trees and shrubs.

[@3DGvisuals]

@@Alef.93 Even with TM having all the Quixel assets?

[@krypt2k25]

The only thing that lumion offers better then the others is it's just too damn easy to get a good render .

[@johndoe-lw1xo]

Can you do this on the iPad?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

No
