Topic: Assuming Animation is only in Ultimate version?

[blendman]

Hi Guys,  I have Lumion Basic which enables me to use the Motion feature for such things people and car animations within lumion, but I'm assuming there is a separate Animation capability and is only in the Ultimate version? Is this correct?

Hi blendman, Service Pack 2 made it possible for Lumion Ultimate users to import animations from 3rd party applications such as 3DS Max. This function will be part of the upcoming Animation Plugin.

Look forward to this.  Thanks Morten.

OK - that being said - are there low cost applications that will also create animation that will work with Lumion? Maybe Blender?

TIA!

Lumion Ultimate (and the upcoming Animation Plugin) can import move/rotate/scale animations saved in Collada and FBX formats (but FBX works best). I'll ask Artur if he has tested animations from Blender in Lumion.
