FULL Lumion 6.5.1 Pro Patch For Windows
Mozell Gentges
This is what Lumion says about the problem: "It looks like the windows are inverted surfaces or incorrect Normals resulting in the rendering of light being incorrect." I created the windows in Softplan. In Softplan, is there any way to correct the Normals or change the surfaces so that they are not inverted? In Softplan, is there any way to make sure that surfaces are correct when a window (or other surface for that matter) is created?
The Lumion customer support imported the Softplan .fbx file into Blender and corrected the Normals. They then imported the Blender file back into Lumion and created a render in which the glass was correct. See third picture below.
I can't change any window parts material in exported fbx model to Lumion, all of the windows appear as a whole component, even though I have different materials assigned to glass and frame in Revit window family. How can I fix that?
We have been using Lumion for two years but the new subscription costs are just horrible. When choosing a renderer I originally wanted to go with twinmotion, and my team spent a few months playinga round with both. The consenses was that Lumion was quicker in learning and rendering and also had a huge added advantage of been able to create billboards that always faced the front/viewer, and that the renders looked more realistic. We are on windows.
I am wanting to look at this again now that Lumion has confirmed they will no longer be offering perpetual liscences - and at $300 a month per liscence or over $2000 per liscence to upgarde to the last perpetual liscence verison it will kill me to ahve to pay for it - we don't have that many Clients who ask us to render.
I used Twinmotion early on & just didn't like either the workflow or the results. However, much of that was down to personal preference- lack of knowledge & I expect the software has matured a lot in 4 years or so.
Enscape, I have been using it for over a year, not perfect but it is constantly improving costs very little and wage quality is pretty good. I used to use VRay which a very high quality renderer which by the way bought enscape so I expect enscape to be top quality in the near future.
Gosh thats expensive for program. We use Twin Motion, easy so to use and inexpensive for a perpetual licence Paid half price for perpetual at around 450 Aus$ currently its $790 Aus for a perpetual with all upgrades. Amazing program simple to use and present in VR. Cant fault it, you need a state of the art computer to run it efficiently at high resolution. Vectorwork works well by either using C4d or datasmith.
Its base off the Epic gaming engine so everything is amazing and you can provide clients with a link to see their presentation in in 3d on their ipads with a simple link and uses google and no special program. Try it out for free, cant go wrong.

Today we carry on with the battle of 3D software! Some of the most known software for rendering are Lumion and Vray. In our recent posts, we talked about the differences among many 3d software such as Lumion vs Enscape. In this blog post, we will come back to the latter one and compare Lumion with Vray , and which one is better for rendering your project?
The latest versions of Lumion is great, the renders are so close to reality, the quality of the objects and textures is improved, and the sky is more realistic with new different options day and night with stars.
Vray is a render engine that works as a plugin that can be integrated with 3D software such as 3Dsmax, Sketchup, Revit, and so on. It is known for its high performance in rendering work because it shows the texture and materials realistically in renders. Lighting in Vray is a very important element since it offers the users different kinds of lighting, spots, IES lighting, dome, rectangular lights, and so on.
Through Vray, you can actually control the resolution and the size of the image, you are able to make render test with a low resolution, just to check and make sure that the textures, lights, and the effects are all in perfect harmony. Since Vray is integrated with modeling software, its configuration are not famous for being the simplest but if you can keep things very simple you can. You can add different materials to the scene, edit the resolution of the picture, and parameters of lighting and compare the changes you made side by side by looking at different renders in side-by-side channels.
With several kinds of lighting, and finally a wide range of render settings, some of the great options in Vray is having a high degree of control before and after the render, it is possible to add lighting, exposure, contrast, white balance, saturation work on the color balance also without necessarily using editing program for pictures.
Lumion offers a large variety of objects and 3D elements and everything you need in a scene. It was made and configured in the beginning for use in urban projects, not for external renders. Therefore, if you want to create interior scenes, the library is not as great in terms of interior elements and objects.
As for the timing, lumion is generally speaking faster than Vray, one render takes seconds to minutes while Vray take a bit longer in render if you want higher quality and this is due to the fact that the render in Lumion is by default, while the one with Vray is personalized according to the needs of users.
In terms of rendering settings, Vray can be hard or easy to work with depending on your level of experience. There are easy settings or beginners but you can always have fantastic flexibility with the options Vray offers.
Both the CPU and the GPU devices can be used simultaneously with V-Ray. When using the V-Ray CPU engine, all available processor cores are engaged for rendering, but at the same time the GPU devices can be used for denoising and applying lens effects. Alternatively, when using the GPU engine, V-Ray utilizes the graphics cards for rendering, but also partially uses the CPU (for example, when calculating the Light cache GI solution). Another use case is the hybrid rendering within V-Ray GPU, where both the GPU and CPU components can render at the same time. V-Ray supports Windows, Linux and Mac platforms and the choice comes down to personal preference. There is a critical disadvantage on Mac platforms as there is no official support for GPU rendering. If you plan to use V-Ray GPU, Windows or Linux would be the better options. You can refer more about system requirements here.
