Topic: MY ANNOUNCEMENT: 3D VISUALIZATION USING LUMION - E-BOOK

[blendman]

Dear All,

I would like to announce that I am currently making good progress on an ebook that I have been working on for sometime, aimed to assist those seeking to make the most of Lumion.  

Up till now, I have kept this a secret,   (other than notifying Act-3D) but feel it is the right time to let you know about this.  Note also:  I would very interested to know your wish-list of topics.  I can't promise I can fullfill all, but I will certainly aim to encompass as much as possible.  

I hope to have this finalised in a matter of months.  Still too early to announce the publication date quite yet.

Best regards,

blendman

Hi blendman
That is Good Go ahead ---------->

My wish: Explain basics of Blender animation and importing it to Lumion.
For example:
-Animating a Ferris Wheel (Something like the London Eye)
-Animating an escalator (Very needed for commercial interiors)

Awseome....Can't wait for it.

My suggestion would be hit the basics with a broad brush and aim it for the intemediate users.

We will try to update the current animation system a bit for 2.3 so that it is much easier to work with.

Maybe you can make it available on iTunes so I can read it on my iPod while using Lumion on my PC.
