Lumion Essential Training

• By: Bryan Myers

Now any architect can create beautiful renders quickly. With Lumion, you work in real time. Production-quality images can be saved to disk in seconds. Lumion can also produce videos and animated sequences from the same project file. In this course, instructor Brian Myers covers the essentials of this powerful visualization tool. Learn how to import CAD models, add cameras, and build out a beautiful environment, with different types of virtual weather and terrain. Brian shows how to add water features and foliage, as well as assign and adjust materials to help your renders look more realistic. Plus, learn how to work with the Build Mode context menu to replace, move, duplicate, and randomize positioning of items—without affecting any of the other objects or settings in your render. Brian closes the course by showing how to render video and still images with the same steps you can use in your own Lumion projects.

Learn Lumion 12: Photorealistic Interior and Exterior Render

• By: Adam Zolliner, Andy Christoforou

Are you ready to learn Lumion 12 quickly and easily while creating a fun, professional project?

In this course, the instructor will start you from the beginning with a SketchUp model (download link provided). The SketchUp model will be linked to Lumion and we will start the rendering process (Note: various types of models can be imported into Lumion, not just SketchUp). Within just a couple of hours, you will have gone through the essential settings in Lumion, and you will start creating photorealistic interior and exterior renderings of your own. By the end, you will have a nice piece to add to your portfolio.

The magic of Lumion is how intuitive it is, and how it streamlines the rendering process into something that everyone can easily understand. If you are an architect or a designer who needs visualizations / renderings but hasn't yet been able to learn complex rendering workflows, this is the course for you. With a simple UI, a vast library, and all the necessary tools in Lumion, you will be rendering photoreal images in no time.
