Adding bump, glare, reflection to materials before you go. It allows you to make settings and adjust your model in Sketchup before export, saving you the trouble of back and forth. The SketchUp Exporter/Importer is an added cost. It's every HDRI, every panorama, every sky dome you ever downloaded rolled into one logical interface with saveable settings and a $catalog$ of user created imports that will show you how far it can go.
#Lumion vs lumenrt software
How big is your computer again? No other software offers so much control and realism in their sky appearance. Hell, throw a few planets up there and maybe fly to one in a space ship. Moving clouds, actually see the Sun in your renders and control it's appearance. Or use height mapping to create the terrain and then sculpt it as you please with brushes and knives.ĭid I mention the skies? Every atmosphere you can think up. use their random creations and adjust them to fit your topo from sketchup. Deserts, Mountains, Valleys, Beaches, Plains. If you couple it with their Plant Factory, you literally have every plant you can imagine at your fingertips (you have to grow them). Entire mountains and valleys covered in some of the most realistic trees available in 3D modeling. Meaning it goes on for infinity and uses the environments that you've built. Adjust the species, the grouping, the age of all the environmental elements such as rocks, boulders, grass, shrubs and trees. It's not just painting, you can literally grow environments. Nothing compares to their terrain painting. I don't think you'll see any movies coming out of Hollywood using Lumion anytime soon. It's not drop and play like Lumion, but it's fairly easy to catch on to and it can make actual, theater level animations. You'll need a heavy box for Vue if you want to do animation in it, and you'll have to be willing to learn their methods. Can you tell I think Lumion is over priced? Oh you know what i just realized? You could buy both of these and spend the same amount you would on one Lumion license. The main drawback being you won't get live walk-throughs like the LiveCubes in LumenRT. It's like the Big Sister of LumenRT, owned by the same company. It's got Cubes for an extra fee that will put you at HALF of Lumion's price and is really quite amazing.īut if you're a 3D modeler/illustrator you might check out Vue xStream. If you're an architect or work for a firm, I would go with Frederik 's advice and get LumenRT 2015. You want these things, but is it for movies? fun? architecture? landscape planning? That will help point you in the right direction.
