Is that one at the top a vray render? I can't tell if you're joking or not.

hi Chimp

all a joke, just a quick render in software i have used for many years (kerkythea)

cheers shaun

lol I was hoping you were secretly testing a Lumion5 build. 

I'd never heard of kerkythea before. Quite nice I must say.

This should sum everything up.

it lacks rendertimes to me ..

you spot on stucki.

Time's not important for me when it comes to realism.................

you are right for single shots. i often take the long run for single shots with vray, too.
but for animations i gladly sacrifice vray for Lumion, because here the speed really make a difference.

my last project was a naval port in germany. I could do a 3min Animation within 1 week [okay mostly day and night] give the client a preview animation at about 4 days. Customer is crazy happy. payment is good - i am happy, too.
Without Lumion i couldnt take this job at all.

[michaelholt]

yep..... thats why i bought lumion....
a client wanted a 25 min animation..... not possible with vray....

what we should do:

someone should create a standard interior scene in lumion or sketchup or whatever...
with real conditions: not big windows.... no sun.... a scene that is harder to illuminate...
or we can use this one here....

everyone should use same materials, same light positions...
and tweek it with effects and material settings....
so we really can compare the scenes...
after that we can share the settings and everyone could get better results for next projects.

wouldnt that be nice?

I'd add to this that recently we have been using Lumion's speed to our advantage to win jobs. A request for proposals gets released, which generally have a 2 week submission time. In that time, we create the proposal and a concept for the project, which we then create a video for with Lumion.

So far, every job we have interviewed with a Lumion video, we have won. We have one out right now for the Trolley Museum I posted on friday which I hear back about this week.

With such a short turnaround, and the iterative nature of video production, Lumion is pretty much the only solution to get the level quality within the time frame I am generally given to produce a video.
