My computer would have blown up if i were given this project lol. 🤣
haha I don't know! many of these renders were done on my old Acer laptop/ core i5/ geforce gtx 1050. It was most a matter of turning off all of the other layers when working on specific things.
🤣🤣🤣
@@ShowItBetter that is really impressive man 🔥
@@ShowItBetter that's pretty encouraging bro
@@ShowItBetter wait wow!
I live a few streets away from the butterfly, and i never thought of all the work that were put into the design. And it pays off, as in person it looks so beatiful.
what city is this in?

Santiago! gracias por el comentario hermano. Aunque no estuvimos de acuerdo con toda la politica detras del proyecto, nos gustó mucho trabajar en el modelo! fue un reto interesante
I've been saying for years the best people out there for architectural modelling of this nature, is not architectural 3d modellers but Environment Artists who work in game design. They are also by far the most efficient when it comes to resource management and efficiency. I'm from an Architectural background, but I spent years looking into how Environment Artists make their worlds, and now I apply their principles of super-quick, efficient, and resourceful modelling. I am grimacing when I open another Architect's 3d model and discover how messy and inefficient it is.
I can understand why you used Lumion - it's what you are an expert in. But, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Unreal Engine would have been a vastly more superior option. But obviously, it takes time to learn it and you wouldn't have had the time.
I was also thinking how much better it could’ve looked and how much easier it could’ve been rendered if they used Unreal Engine 5
What would the work flow have looked like?
This is mad! I've been trying to find a way to import a model of areas of cities (for context buildings) and still have no idea how you managed to get those buildings with their actual textures on them haha
When exporting from City Engine, it gives you an option to create a series of map variations. Inside city engine you can import the actual textures, or you can also replace them later in lumion. Maybe the hardest part is learning city engine, but the actual process is not that complex :)
Super cool. That arcgis step seemed massively critical just from a data management perspective and something I'll definitely take a look at. I can't believe how far lumion has come since I last used it 5 years ago. Great video!
I love watching your workflows! It's super insightful.
You are so inspiring!! I have been getting into visualization a lot in part thanks to you! I am in Interior Architecture school and you have taught me more than my classes so far in visualization!
I feel so related...
thanks Travis! glad we can be of help. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see
@@ShowItBetter I’ve been teaching myself how to use twinmotion, so I am always looking for more videos using twinmotion and welcome more content using that engine! Thanks again
thank you for sharing this wonderful story steven, super inspiring going into a new semester of architecture school!
Just dont fall in the Lumion trap, try open source options first
The story was great 😊 and how the program helped you work through the project. Loved it 😊
Clicked on the video and didn't expect it would be something about a project here in Colombia, this was amazing.
I work a lot in sites on montains, I do thinks similarly. Lumion is really an amazing tool, and also while designing, you can work on specific views and see how nature interacts with the project
Watching this for the second time, this is insane, and just epic. Great stuff
Wow, this is so beautiful I think I'm gonna cry, such an inspiration 😢
Oh man! Perfect! Everything, it's detailed but not "heavy" and I love the context part
Glad you liked it! it was a challenge making it haha 🙈
@@ShowItBetter I can feel it, but you nailed it! Congrats!! 💛
What an amazing project!! ❤
I'm amazed! Congratulations.
What a way to put Lumion on the market. This is a very powerful presentation for business and marketing. I really hope the developers of Lumion as listening to some of the things the users of their product are suggesting in order to improve. Again this presentation speaks volumes. We love the speed Lumion gives and the finish however others like D5 Render, Twinmotion and Unreal while having their own niche are making game-changing improvements. We would hate for you to lose ground.
only thing they need to do is put price down to be competitive with others.
THIS IS STUNNING. I love how things like just painting a neighboorhood can really change the entire vibe and overall niceness of an area
thanks Max!
Hi Steven, this was amazing and inspirational. You have gained a new subscriber here. Looking forward to more of this amazing content!
Thanks Jade! Glad you liked it !
Simply Stunning. Great job you guys are doing 👏🏽
What do you think of this video?
I have been using this combination for over 5 years. Awesome to see a similar workflow
Great to hear! What kind of projects do you work in? Would love to know more about your workflow
This is amazing! The project look very detailed and nice!
Thank you very much!
Most interesting Show It Better project to date!
That was Awsome! Hope this project comes off!
Thanks Greg! It was all completed!
This was epic 💗...keep it up👍🏻
Ima download it thanks for sharing!!
Outstanding proyect! Thank you for sharing the story and the behind the scenes.
Thanks Lautaro! Glad you liked it
your comment is very good
what a presentation. this is an inteligent way to build a city.
even though you were sick ,you did a nice job! congrats man
Wtf hah
Excelente video, me encantó la historia. Toma tu follow.
Increible!! Gracias por compartir tu trabajo!
Un saludo Sebastián!
Wow great job! Thank you for tips!
You’re welcome!
You guys did an incredible job, what a task! People who created these softwares are genius!
They are! it's so crazy!
This was just awesome! Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome!
i really apreciate your help with dowloanding this software
Wow, stunning project! Very interesting workflow leading to great results, both digitally and in real life.
Many thanks Paul! it was a really cool process to be a part of!
absolutey crazy. i hope you're a millionare after this crazy task.
Wow Awesome!
realy great my dear... to see a real world project and the struggles untill finaly you succeed... and what an impressive and positive project.
Thank you so much Tom! 🙂
Love this channel
Thanks Tristan!
very nice work, thats a great software for the city. I've had to import and capture google 3d map data for fill in background but yours is much better. Also how do you delete layers in lumion,
This is super cool, you gained a new sub! :)
Thanks for the sub!
Every time I go to school I see that place, I never knew until this how and why this was made.
omg I live next to that neighborhood, that's so cool!
Wow that's awesome! Does city engine actually generate the geometry for the buildings? The closest I've come to something like that is osm > blender > rhino, but if this program can actually generated the buildings with more details than just massing (cadmapper) that would be game changing! Can't believe I haven't come across something like this before
Thank you very much
This is so cool bro 🥺
great project with cool designer
Thanks!
That's an incredible project. I found that part of the city on Google Maps as well so we can see the hard work in 'real life'.
thanks Derek! it's a huge project!
very very gooood, thaaankss maan
Glad you liked it!
I recently worked on one of the project, which has around 135 acres of land with farming land, plotted developments, farm houses, muddy road, forest etc etc....
Its been really nice experience working in lumion & result is really amazing we get....soon try to upload those renders...
That is awesome! Sounds great!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you please also share about your computer specifications you have used for this project .
Dude I see that neighborhood from the far almost every day, and knowing who made it look like that is simply nuts
en serio Juan!Qué bien! Trabajamos con un equipo grande de arquitectos y urbanistas. De pronto no fue la mejor decisión política pero fue divertido trabajar en el proyecto!
How was the vertical position of the houses determined so that they fit with the google maps elevation of the mountain? Was this already correct from the data of the CAD file or did you have to adjust it manually?
increible excelente tecnica!!!
Gracias !
I need to work on projects of this nature. Where I am from is just residential stuff, small island work. I am willing to learn and bring this to my country.
Time to UPGRADE the PC! 🤩
The amount of work this took wow! How long did this take and how many people?
Freaking awesome.
thank you so much dude you're a god
Haha Thanks! Very mortal
This man can make you give up on a dream. That was high end sort of work and I am wondering what I am doing with sketchup. I should rethink a career.
what a skill
Magnífico!
Gracias!
I hope they pay well, what a work ! :)
You’re killing the white hair, Steven! Loved it as always!
haha thanks! the 30s are kicking in and I'm trying to rock it as best as possible haha
me an architecture student in medellin following your channel since i started my career jajajaj im like !!! schock ! amazing work congrats. i wish lumion (original no cracked) was an option lor students in latinoamerica... is so expensive.
Gracias parcero! Un abrazo !
Next level
thanks Timothy!
Awesome!!!😉😉
Thank you! Cheers!
AWESOME
Thanks!
Very cool
Thanks!
funciona perfeitamente, obrigado
Amazing👌🏿
Thank you 🙌
Amazing work! What version of lumion did u use at that time?
thanks Cedric! I think at at moment it was between Lumion 9 and 10
Hi! What stoftware did you use to animate people/crowd in the visualisation?
Did you use rules packages file in city engine? Or did you manually paste the authentic facades🤔
Lo necesito para mi tesis
Can you show how your imported the 3d images from google earth? I have not seen that done. Thank you!
I'd love to have access to such rendering capabilities.. But I have problems with camera positioning.
where is the final shot & animation? did i miss it ?
Too cool
for school
You are touching on something akin to digital twinning. Recommend looking into this as their are some impressive projects utilising unreal engine 5. Combine city level simulation with real-time data and you have some out of this world results.
We were looking into unreal as a possible way to do it back then, but tbh no one knew how to do it. But in the future, I would like to look into it!
cool :)
I would've probably gone in and done a drone Laserscan to atleast get the footprint and height of the buildings correct, aswell as being able to get correct tree heights in render.
It looks awesome though! But am i right when i say the only "correct" data from the real world, is building footprint aswell as terrain heights? The rest is fictional?
I can hear my graphics card crying as I'm watching this video. hahaha! BEYOND AMAZING! I love Lumion!
This urban intervention reminds me on Bo-Kaap in Cape Town.
haven't seen it but will look it up!
Pls clarify my doubt sir does it have tabla soft????? Pls tell sir
Waow!. Top
thanks!
How did you bring in the satellite images from google earth?
Steven, honest question: Do you think SketchUp would succeed in this project? What about Enscape?
Well I am not really sure, I haven't tried opening these projects in Enscape and working only on Sketchup, I think it's because my current setup couldn't handle it! Perhaps if you have the correct workflow and file organization, it could be possible. But with these constant Sketchup Bugsplat I don't know...
How did you use decals in previous versions of Lumion??
Actually the decal segment was just an add on, but yeah, originally the feature wasn’t there yet
How did you layer the vector and paint the houses?
we have a houses map that we painted manually in photoshop
The base texture for terrain is a satelital image?
Yes! From google earth!
Thank you for tNice tutorials! I've been trying to figure the software out on my own for a wNice tutorialle, and it's horribly confusing. TNice tutorials is the only guide video
Thanks Ghina!
Wow
Sigh....great video, I picked up City Engine like a month ago but it was quite hard to find a proper tutorial for this software, especially for the coding part. Does anyone have ways for a more advanced tutorial of this program?
Thanks! RUclips?
wow
Which city is this?
Lmao didnt know you're Colombian.
I used to live in Bogota near those mountains during my middle school years. Its funny that I watched your channel during my design classes in uni couple of years back and only now I've learned you're from Colombia.
no way! that's so cool! where are you living now?
@@ShowItBetter i was living in Indonesia, Jakarta until recently but during my diploma i was in Malaysia, Penang. I also used lumion during my final diploma semesters btw, made a video and an local architecture company was impressed and even offered work for me. Even tho it was for landscaping design ahahah. After covid and a couple of interns and work experience now im continuing my studies back in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I guess ill be watching more of your videos now so i can present my work better in classes again 🙏😌
Im going to learn UE5 soon so i can make even better stuff compared to lumion since lumion although good, its a bit restricting. Hope you make videos about using UE5 in the future 👌
got asked the same thing , but with only 10 days :) and used the same workflow
How did you get the 3d terrain from google earth? Or did you use City Engine to get the geographical data of the terrain ((I'm not familiar with that program and I don't know if that's possible) and added a texture to it saved from google earth?
We used two satelite images, the one in the lowest resolution was from google earth. Just open Sketchup, insert a location, and select show terrain. Then you import that file into lumion and match it with the base model. The second one was in a higher resolution, and it came directly from arcgis, a satelite image in high res specifically of the area. Although it was much heavier in size, it made the closer shots look better. But if you dont use arcgis then you can always just do it with google earth, I recommend grabbing various close up shots in sketchup so it can be in a higher res!
Hi. I am an Architect at CPKA in India.
The best workflow that i have found to address this is to grab 3d terrain from cad mapper. Merge multiple portions if the area is larger.
Take a Google Earth image of the said area in highest resolution. Keep the scale and north turned on. Scale the image in sketchup.
Position the scaled image directly over the 3d terrain. Line it up using a reference point.
Now explode the image. Grab the paint bucket tool. Sample the image.
Now Open the terrain component. Select all (Ctrl+A).
Paint it with the sampled material.
Voila. Its done
@@kabootriachhimurgi would you plz make tutorial.
@@kamalthapa5464 will do
@@ShowItBetter Did you model up the building one by one ?
