![]() Another thing is, for us in the visualization business, the architecture has to be the most important thing. And it still looks a little flat, so that combined would make it look cheap. However, I just managed to start questioning why everything has to move, like even the smallest grass. (btw: samples are produced on a 1600x1200 desktop, which shows that PowerPreview can create previews at higher resolutions than currently available on the desktop ) Here are some screenshots of the upcoming versions GUI and some samples The current ( free ) version can be downloaded here ( has some bugs and limitations )Īgain - i would be glad to here some use cases where this tool might be usefull for previz and quick presentation things, or for archviz in general ![]() ), which will be in the €10-15 price range I'm currently implementing some new features for an upcoming commercial version ( Project/settings managment, NPR/Stylized viewport tweaker etc. I'm asking this because i'm the developer/creator of PowerPreview, a viewport capture tool which can produce animated viewport captures in the best quality Nitrous is able to produce. to show off quick stills/viewport snapshots to show off ongoing work to the client ?Īdditionally does anyone actually use the NPR/stylized viewport modes to generate such preview snapshots? I wonder, does anyone take advantage of this new viewport technology, possibly with some special material or lighting tweaks applied to look good in the viewport ? For even higher quality, you would than even be able to transfer the same look over to the Quicksilver hardware renderer ( uses the same technology, but is able to bump up the quality even more). In my eyes the Nitrous viewport in Max 2014/2015 is able to create pretty good visual quality for different tasks. Just curious and because it somehow fits to the topic: In my case I always receive the REVIT/Sketchup model from Architects and designer, it is always though to prepare to render with V Ray/Mental Ray and a nightmare to make it work in any real time engine.Īnd yes Lumion is over priced, it is the same price of 3D Max or Maya….are you serious? But if you want to use this as a replacement or cheap variation of a V Ray/ Mental Ray animation this won't work. There is no point to compare V Ray or any other render engine with Lumion or any real time engine, those are different media, and that is the problem, the people does not understand why they look different, if you can make understand the client, what he will get, manage his/her expectation then Lumion, or any other RT software will be cost effective, no doubts, if you can figure out a good workflow between designers and 3d Artist it will work great. If you create the model from scratch in REVIT or Sketchup and you export to Lumion or lumen RT or Unity or what not, you know how to prepare your model to make it work on those engines but that is not always the case. This is not true, because the way a designer/Architect works in Sketchup or REVIT is not to make a rendering, he/she is concern of other issues and this create inconsistent geometry, materials and coplanar faces un-weld vertex and many other problems as Scott mentioned. That's just publicity, it is just like the dream BIMTOPIA from autodesk, that you can export a REVIT model in to 3dMax click render and there you ave it, a photorealistic render in no time. If it takes 10-20 times less to create one movie presentation, that is a hell lot of money. But the reality is that a lot of people here deal in high-end rendering, which Lumion (in its current state) can't deliver on. If cost were the only factor involved, you'd be absolutely right, and certainly for "budget" practices that focus on that side of the market, it is certainly a massively cost effective time-saver. Isn't that pretty much what makes you loose or win a job? So the ultimate question: Have anybody tested Lumion 4.5 yet, and how good is it actually? If a movie can be made for the cost of $5k instead of $10k, or $10k instead of $20k to make the difference bigger. I myself use vray, but we all need to be on the alert to make sure we are adapting to the "new" markets. But I mean, take a look at the setup from their marketing videos, if it takes 10-20 times less to create one movie presentation, that is a hell lot of money. I have also noticed that people tend to say that since clients are used to see v-ray renderings, they can't show Lumion-results.
