Topic: Tobacco for Less - Lumion 2 test

[Brian Hengelsberg]

This is my first test of Lu ion 2 using an old project done in Lumion 1.  This is a down and dirty test trying lights and dusk sky...so far pretty intuitive, excited to try more.

dig it. how did you find the experience to be adding lights and tweeking settings and such?

[Brian Hengelsberg]

Little bit of. Learning curve.  A couple of the materials needed to be edited because as mentioned, there is a slightly differnt system in place. The light placement is a little hit and miss, but you can get them "close enough" to work.  I actually put a light in every location there would be a light, just to test performance on my machine.  Really responded well...will get better over time I would expect.

Diaz I agree, it was really more of test of light placement and less about all of the materials.  Although, I think in general the materials look better in Lumion 2 than 1 from my limited use (see a quick exterior I placed here in the gallery).  No lighting just a render out with a few material tweaks.

You should still be able to create the glow of the ceiling lights with Lumion 2.

BTW, we talked about this before but i keep forgetting to do it... i would still like to have an actual image of a lighted fixture mapped and made emissive so it appears to have some depth and substance like a real fixture instead of a large white rectangle.

anyone have any good images to use?

The contrast between the inside and now dark exterior is a definite winner, but not a huge  difference in the inside lighting. 

Many thanks for sharing this.  I look forward to downloading v.2 today! to try all.

Thanks Blendman, i am just fumbling around finding my way.  This reminds me of my first couple of Lumion 1 projects where i did not know how to utilize SSOA or even proper material assignments.  I would hope as we all work through the new system, we share our incite.  I remember the Lumion staff was extremely helpful in bringing my projects to the next level.

I have a couple of projects that i am not allowed to post on the forum (lawyers and their non-disclosure agreements) that looked fantastic in Lumion 1, i am excited to spend some time in Lumion 2 to take it up a notch.

Thanks for the comments.
