Just Necessary: Lumion Courses from Basic to Intermediate

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Just Necessary: Lumion’s Courses, a course intended to help you know how to use Lumion’s real-time technology. My name is Nhan. With three years of professional architectural design background, I understand the necessity of producing a fantastic render in a limited time.

My priority is to provide you with the quickest Lumion workflow to improve your speed and quality of photos and video rendering. This course is designed for architects rushing to achieve a project deadline who want to express their ideas to clients through photo-realistic representations; and architecture students who wish for an excellent presentation to explain their studio work.

Hi everyone,

Today we will learn how to make fabulous photo renders in Lumion. Firstly, we must arrange a 3D model before beginning the rendering process. This first step will allow you to work easier.

What do we need in a 3D file for render?

• Fully Material

• Remove the All-Trees Model

• Delete All Unnecessary Elements

• Save The 3d Model into Many Separate Files

You can download this 3D model in the description below.

So that you can together practice during the lessons.

Hello everyone,

We finished Organize 3D file in the previous session. This tutorial today will lead you through the workflow to create a Photo-Realistic Render with Lumion, allowing you to get the most out of Lumion in the shortest amount of time.

Here is the list of work for the basic Setup in Lumion:

• Select default Environment

• Importing 3D File to Lumion

Materials might also have an emotional impact on your clients. There are many items in the Lumion materials collection.

• Landscapes (soil, water, rocks, grass, etc.)

• Interiors (fabric, glass, leather, metals, plastics, etc.)

You can download this material list in the description below.

So that you can together practice during the lessons.

We learned about the placement tool in Lumion in lesson one, and now we will use the Mass Placement Tool to create the greenery for our render.

Lumion has a variety of features and tools to allow you to create a perfect lighting arrangement for your ideas. This contains spotlights, Omni lights, and other similar systems.

We'll now add some effects to our render.

Here are some essential effects for improving your photo rendering.

• Sun Effect

• Reflectivity Effect:

• Autumn Generator Effect

• Analog Color Lab Effect

• And Fog Effect

Here is the final step for a fantastic render. We are dealing with perspective in the render process. As a result, objects appear smaller and blurrier as their distance from the observer increases. This tutorial will show you how to apply this perspective theory to improve the quality of your rendering photos.

You can download the Effects list in the description below.

So that you can practice together during the lessons.

I will show you how to load these Effects to your Lumion in 8 Essential Tips for Lumion below
