Topic: Multi Use development WIP.

Here is a short movie with background music of a proposed development.   I am still wrapping up some changes to the design, and will re run the movie.  The last pass is a fly out of the site, and and has some flickering in the grass object as it gets further away and must be  due to the setting of the depth offset in the individual materials.  My only idea to prevent this is doing a separate movie with different depth settings in the materials, and comping it in Premiere.  Any other ideas?
thanks

The new beta has a feature to animate the near clip plane of the camera. When you have a distant shot you can just set this value to 10 and you'll have more depth range on the parking lot

Still fixing some bugs but eventually the beta will be released as a stable release. It also has better tree rendering if you turn on 3 star rendering.

Thanks Remko, I will try to run it today on the beta and see how things turn out.

Hi Chewbacca,

Nice work! Please help me. I have been trying to bring into lumion a google earth large site like
yours. I haven't been successiful as each time I try to do so the uv of the google earth map gets tiled into small scale maps. How did you manage to do yours? It looks vast and pretty.

Regards,

Alickn

Hey Alickn,  Thanks.   The base object is brought in from 3ds Max with a jepg aireal image mapped to it.  It was not a Google snapshot terrain from Sketchup (assuming that is what you are using??)  You could try adjusting the scale slider in the material properties to try to remove the tiling?    If that does not solve it, you may try to locate where the map is that brought from Google and then apply the texture to the object in Lumion with a custom material.  Not sure how the uv link from an imported Google terrain capture?
