Do I see there planar reflections on the floor

Jacobs I´m sorry but that is from Lumion 1.0 !!

... so the guys at ACT 3D removed the planar reflections after version 1???

Jacobs, there are reflections, aligned with the sphere control, nothing more and nothing less, you can get this reflections, and works fairly well for a static perspective, but when you want to animate the camera moves around the ground irreparably. Look Ronen's latest work, I pass a link, which achieved reflections in the crystals that for Lumion are a luxury, and where there should be strategically located the sphere by each animated cameras.

i am sorry for this

but lumion development team keeping working only on nature stuff developmant

what about Architecture things ??!!!
what about glass transparency control ??!!
what about reflection ??!!
what about Global Illumination GI ??!!
what about parallel veiws and top veiws??!!

our customers dont care a bout cloud shadows or rain water purity and snow density!!
they want first to see thier buildings with good material appearance and real colors and glass reflection

i am sorry lumion team ; we want you to give more attention to Architecture visualization
thats lumion must to be ..

No, if you place the reflection map location at the position of the camera it nearly looks like planar reflections. In v1.0 the reflection map was always generated on the position of the camera. This caused many problems because you would see a tree passing by in the reflection and it looked weird. In the current version the reflection map is located in the sky by default and you can move it to any position you like to get the best results.

Please be patient and keep checking the blog

The new clouds are just one among many other new features in the upcoming 3.0.

"The new Lumion will even be able to cast cloud shadows. For the first time you will be able to fly in between clouds and see them wrap around mountains"
Amoudi and Jorgensen, I´m sorry but I can not more disagree with you guys, this is an excellent development, that I think don´t have nor Twinmotion or CryENGINE or UDK.
"Nature Stuff" is one of various factors involving an architectural visualization features a remarkable level range. Let us not complain beforehand because there would be of little sense.
The clouds improvements are great for ArchViz!

i too cant wait to get my hands on cloudshadows !!
a video of this effect would be very very nice

Also, as was mentioned earlier, "...the new clouds are just one among many other new features in the upcoming 3.0."

thanks Morten for replay
that is good news to see new improvment in version 3.0

lumion is a revolution software in Architecture industry ; and we want it to be more perfect in the future

*** Also there is some thing missing in lumion library
   which is a simple Geometry objects like planar rectangle ,planar circle, sequare, cube, cylinder , with customized size and material
ofcourse Lumion is not modeling software but simple modeling capability will not hurt  and will save time
