CRACK Lumion 10.1 Pro Serial Number Reading Tool
Matt Dreher
Hello. I designed a neighborhood including in room designs (furnitures etc) in SketchUp. I am trying to export it to lumion program for rendering. But when I tried to import it from Lumion, lumion is freezing and stops working. I tried smaller file, they works fine.
There are a few ways you can reduce file size. The best way to reduce file size it to model smartly from the beginning. Assuming you do not want to remodel anything, there are two simple ways to clean things up a bit.
The first way is to use the purge unused option in the Statistics section in the model info window. This should get rid of any unused assets that may have made their way in to the file while you were creating it. The next thing I would recommend would be the cleanup extension by ThomThom (Extension SketchUp Extension Warehouse). This extension is a more aggressive way to clean up a model so be sure to back up your file before you use it.
If you are willing to do a bit more modeling, you can reduce file size by using components for objects that repeat in your model. You can save even more space by reducing the number of sides that you generate with the circle tool when you create a circle. This is especially helpful if you plan on using a Push/Pull or Follow Me tool, as it will reduce the number of faces created later on. Finally you can save on space by only importing what you need from the 3D Warehouse. There are many highly detailed quality models on the warehouse, sometimes you do not need all the details that a component comes with. Do not be afraid to strip out excess detail you do not need.
I have not had a chance to look through the entire model yet but I have noticed you have a massive amount of raw geometry that could be made into components. The next thing I noticed was all the components that you have inside your building. If you need all that detail you should clean up some of the components you are using. Not everything has to be ultra detailed. If you do not need the furniture, scrap it. I will keep looking and see if I can find anything else that you might be able to re-work to shrink the file size.
After takin the past hour to take a more in depth look at the file, I can say that the biggest thing that you can do to shrink the file size would be to reduce the complexity and number of components you are using. I would strongly suggest that you pay careful attention to what you are importing into your model, too many high detail components will slow down any computer and create a bloated file.
Hello,
I know this is an old topic, I would just like to add something if someone stumbles upon this (as I did).
CaseyG, making components is indeed a very good practice, and it will for sure lighten sketchup file.
However, mrblythe here had problem with Lumion, and in that case, it will not matter at all if your geometry is exploded, groups or components, polygon is polygon as far as Lumion sees it, and it can ony be helped by deleting something.
For those saying Lumion isn't worth it, I'll tell you this from using it for a year and a half. I went from customer approvals of initial elevations on the first round of about 65-70% to honestly about 95% with Lumion. Maybe I'm getting better at reading the customer, but the odds don't support it being just that. And I will say I have gained a lot of new jobs through showing Lumion renderings. Accordingly, I've also been able to raise my prices with the improved renderings. I also now do render specific jobs for other builders and designers as well as design, a nice increase in income.
For the video card, you can actually do a 1080 and be well under $1k and still have it perform great. I'm using that setup now. But your point is taken on the price. That being said, the learning curve really is much better than you think. There are a lot of exceptional tutorial videos that really get you moving. Personally, I know I've gotten the last several projects through my renderings and has helped push me into the next tier of houses to design. It definitely was a leap of faith, but well worth it. It's paid off several times over.
Yep for a "movie quality" 2-3 minute clip it takes a loooong time to render. Typically my clips are 4-star and 'full HD' and are anywhere from 8-25 seconds long take somehwere between 4-7 hours to render (with a GTX 1080 card) Most of my videos are about 20-30 clips long.
Allen, those clips are looking good! I haven't played around with terrain heights on my models yet (I'm a 'flat-earther' for now, ha) Do you find it easy to integrate Softplan topos into Lumion? By the way, I REALLY love that grass in Lumion 9! I'm still on 8.5 as I couldn't convince my company to upgrade for the "pretty grass"
Yes, I have some pre-sets I have created for a variety of day/night shots. As far as emissive light goes, I tend to only use that on the light bulbs of my lights (it gives a nice 'halo effect' on the fixtures)
For your terrain-work, do you cover up your imported SP topography with the native Lumion terraforming tools? I personally so not like how the native SP terrain looks once imported into Lumion and find it is a bit of work covering it up with the 'raise-lower' terrain brushes in Lumion. SP terrain geometry looks a little to 'angular' to me an doesn't have the nice natural slopes you see in reality. My wish is that Lumion, or some other creative person would create a variety of scenes that we could plop our SP models on as sometimes I feel I spend entirely too much time on planting "tree bombs" to hide my horizon lines...
Take for instance 9' basement. I will place site at 8' (12" below T.O.F.). I place concrete (all flatwork) 4 inches above ( so say 8'4) i place planting beds an inch below that. Then i use the live grass to cover up some of the 4 inches.....then the amazing part...i cut the top of the grass down so it wont go above the top of concrete.
Hey Sam, thanks for the compliment and welcome to the forum! Hard to say exactly for me how long my renders take (throughout my day I do different design tasks) but if I would have to guess, I would say it would take 3-4 weeks if I dedicated my entire day to a single render (that would include render times as well)
I use Softplan for all the structural elements and sitework. All of the furniture and decorations I import into Lumion directly from a variety of free 3D render sites. I will say this last render (linked above) was the first time I used the Softplan to Lumion export function and it was MUCH easier and faster to work between programs!
Nick, i think people get nervous when they read 3-4 week render time. A more fair assessment may be to break it down with time spent setting up a model i.e. placing objects, texturing, and so on and then how long it takes the computer to render a video or picture.
Hi,There are three components that are required to run the LiveSync connection:1. Revit2. the Lumion plugin (downloaded from here which ensures a connection)3. Lumion (the main application)The role of the plugin is to seamlessly transfer the information from the CAD software to Lumion. However, although the plugin is free, the main application can be obtained as a trial, a student version, or a commercial version.If you need any more assistance, please reach out to our support team here: -us/articles/360042039073
We downloaded and installed the 'free' Lumion add-in. (Revit 2023) when we pressed the play button a digi box appeared stating could not run in this version and must upgrade. Fine, clicked on it but then it takes you to the Lumion home page which is a paid sub...so Free is very misleading.
I have circular spaces in my project, in revit it looks smooth round without edges, but when ı throw it to the lumıon to render, the polygon numbers decrease and look diagonal. Is there a solution?I already set the parameter "smoothing surface" on high but the results is still bad.
Hi MarlenaThanks for asking. You can use LiveSync For Revit with student editions of Revit. Please contact Lumion Technical Support to assist (see links top right or at top of the product description).
Na hora de salvar o arquivo no aparece algumas opces como por exemplo salvar cenas, salvar modeloes e cenas... E depois do salvamento no possivel abrir o arquivo mais. Esse o unico problema que aparece, fora isso esse software otimo!
Hi Fernanda, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the plugin.Please click on the following link to contact us at the Lumion Support Center so that we can assist you with your problem: in advance.
Estaba buscando en diferentes pginas y hay muchas personas que tienen el mismo problema. Se produce con una nueva versin del complemento "Lumion LiveSync for Revit plug-in Informacin de versin: 3.60.538", el complemento que se actualiz el 11 de junio, esta nueva versin tiene un problema. hay muchas personas con el problema y nadie encontr una solucin
