FAST Light Placement in Lumion with Node Replacement

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Hi everyone! Did you know you could place lights this way in Lumion?

[@gd3design63]

I do now.... Much appreciated!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Thanks for watching!

[@DPSarquitectura]

Yes! but i miss the option of the "autorotate", i mean, maybe lumion needs to detect the component orientation (axis or something) so your lights can rotate as the components do... anyway it mades lighting easier. Congrats for your videos!! PD: That .DAE import and align, also helps you when your model is too big, i mean, Lumion has a cap of polygons (dont know if you talked about this in other video). For example, if you have, lets say, 30 apartaments (full of curtains, sofas, beds, sheets... etc) its easier to import objects in diferent layers/imports as you did with your lights or clean the model, hiding what you will not render.

[@CABCON]

No i didnt know until i watched this video. Thanks mate! 🙂

[@BarsKutsalKaraaslan]

This also works for everything in the library (trees, waters, effects etc. 😁😁) This is the life-saving mode! Thank you so much

[@R15HI]

Thank you for this wonderful tip. Actually I was looking for a trick to work on Revit lights. This tip helped me a lot. Just for info, I Isolated my lighting fixtures in Revit 3D view and exported them in .dae file by each category and opened them in lumion and aligned them as guided by you in this tutorial. Thank you once again. :)

[@TheAlanmf]

I just exported Lights and Light nodes from Blender, which worked as a charm. Thanks for the tutorial man.

[@richardcahya6747]

Hi how about resize the light? Maybe in some of projects using small spotlights to highlights certain of architecture elements

[@oaknobrain]

dude you underrated, hope you got more subscriber and god bless you!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

I appreciate that!

[@jonathantsado5053]

Thanks for this video, currently using lumion 11pro and revit 2020 plus sketchup 2022, but still can't figure out how to make the export for revit, please help, thank you

[@WaseemOnlines]

Thanks for the useful tutorial, in your experiace, is there anyway I can make curve cove light in lumion? That affect other surfaces not only light material

[@vicarioustube]

Hello I have many plaza and street lights each with multiple lamps like a modern outdoors chandelier. They are all three groups of components. When you say light in SketchUP do I actually have to place a light into each housing of the wall and downlights? Do I understand that right it's NOT only the housing that represents the Sketchup light I need to place a bulb in it? AND does it matter which type of light I chose in SketchUP will it affect that in the Lumion? Thanks for your lessons as always great and thumbs up and subscribed. An autodidact pensioner here.

Rendering Conversation @Justin You nailed it!!

[@ryanlori4158]

Very resourceful tip, thanks! However, still can't seem to export nodes of selected objects in Archicad. Any idea how to go about it??

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

No clue - I don't really use Archicad

[@engineer_yulan]

mine says only one node available while 10+ lights are in .dae file. What am I doing wrong?

[@edwinsalazar2381]

Tienes que importar los objectos como grupos componentes de sketchup o de bloques en rhino.

[@Ekon001]

Wish I had known about this for my last work!! Would've helped so darn much!! ha ha ha Thanks a huge bunch for this super cool trick!!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Happy to help!

[@АрхитекторКайратИлебаев]

Thank you for the lesson. From the Arcade, you can export a bunch of lighting to Lumion. What you showed is very convenient

[@rjpratama]

Seriously dude your videos really help me on rendering. Thanks a bunch! Keep it up!!!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Really glad you're finding them helpful!

[@taheraarsiwala8663]

I found it really very helpful. Thankyou sir🔥👍🏻

[@EXA054]

Hi SIr! Thanks for sharing! One question, I did the same process but when I select all the imported nodes I have much more than the imported... should the light objets in SKP be in only one piece, without Groups inside or so? Thanks in advance

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Didn't I talk about that in the video?

[@ericclarabal9255]

Using SKP2021 and the export selection only is not working. I does not export or create an exported file

[@solidbutvoid]

thanks man, i do really appreciate for your effort.It helped a lot but i have one question for you if it's cool.Do you know how to turn a material into a light.?

[@sgtkort97]

best thing you can do is turn it into a emissive material but i wont actually iluminate just kind of glow, and it wont cast shadows either

[@queleo7691]

it worked! thank you so much!!

[@chawaduge9236]

Thank you.. this is very helpful ...

[@efrembeyene7456]

Thanks for the tutorial sir. How can we export the light from Archiad to lumion 6?

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

No clue - Lumion 6 was a LONG time ago...

[@Gillette1310]

I cant find my collada files after exporting from sketchup :(

[@mer2048]

I encountered a problem, when i import the model for the "node" it have multiple node. How can i make it have a single node on each lamp?

[@alexisnurrios6542]

Yes, the video is very helpful but the what happens if there is a multiple group on a single node, it actually creates hundreds of lights in one node alone.

[@yavuztul]

after i made allign nodes succesfully,i tried to put items same points but,my selection and result is not succesfull,my selection define just point,but i choose six nodes...

[@shls8518]

Hi, can you export nodes from revit?

[@beenay18]

how to add hidden curved linear lights for curved false ceiling?

[@christiandy1083]

How can I find advance option in lumion 6?

[@SAIF-of4so]

very informative videos man peace.....Love from INDIA

[@planly_by_prajaktaa]

Why does light pass through walls in lumion 12?

[@BuggsOp]

how do you make tv play video like in Unreal Engine

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

I'm not sure that you can in Lumion - never tried this before

[@CUE_STROKES]

You can. Just Map your tv with an .mp4 file

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

I did not know this - awesome! Will have to give it a try! :)

[@BuggsOp]

@@TheRenderingEssentials and could you make a tutorial on this?

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Sure - I'll get it on the list

[@jiajia12325]

Hi does this works for Revit to lumion?:)

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

No idea - I haven't used Lumion with Revit, so I'm not sure

[@jiajia12325]

The Rendering Essentials thanks anyway!:)

[@tkcreations6392]

I am also searching it

[@glenn3646]

Awesome, im new to lumion and its fun 2 play with it

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

It really is! :)

[@kingsleyobinna]

Very interesting. But I will like you to do a similar tutorial using ArchiCAD and lumion please.

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Sorry - I don't really work in ArchiCAD, so I don't have a way to do this

[@bhavinnagda4167]

amazing tutorial

[@JoseEduardo-kf9si]

Hey man, I can't find the advanced options!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

What version are you using?

[@fbr3087]

thank you!

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

You're welcome!

[@sergiosdpn]

Very useful!!! Thanks

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

It's a huge timesaver!

[@nublisariff5793]

u saved my life

[@anasa38]

Thankyou for the info. I tried and got it successfull..But there is a number of light objects.. Eg: I had 6 points but there is about 26 lights

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Sounds like you had too much stuff in your points?

[@DenisShevchenko-sv7yh]

Огромное спасибо !!! Отличный урок! Это действительно очень удобно

[@aymanayesh214]

Thank you dear brother is very beautiful

[@TheRenderingEssentials]

Glad you liked it!

[@huaquocnguyen7471]

You always the best

[@carterdriggs]

Holy fuck dude, this is awesome!

[@MondalNiranjan]

Placement of light in lumion is worthless there should be option to snap to objects with move tool. it too frustrating

[@MaromaStore7]

U BEST!!!

[@Mattadoar]

Nice burp into the mic at 7:10.........
