Waxy leaves rock - even with the simple 3d warehouse plant models- if you put them on the second plan somewhere in the sun lit area of your scene they really make the image more lively and vibrant. Good tutorial as always - your content actually convinced me to download blender and try out some of these tips
That's awesome to here Dominik! I love Lumion for what it does but if you enjoy doing Archviz you should definitely pick up Blender as well. You will learn a lot of new concepts and tricks that you can use with Lumion. I find it surprising Lumion can do subsurface scattering (waxiness is an approximation of it) as it is normally an expensive tool in ray-tracing.
@@LuminousLabs From my perspective as an architect I enjoy lumion for the simplicity and speed :) it leaves much more time to hone the concept and BIM model which I do in ArchiCAD primarilly - and here programs such as sketchup or now blender - new for me - come in handy for these final touches or tricks I cannot do with BIM software. You put a lot of very usefull knowledge in here man, thank you and I will definitely stick around for more ;)
Hi Greg. Excellent tutorial. Thank you. Accidentally gave my self good practice by choosing a plant with more leaves on than people in China ;) Worked really well though.
Thanks so much Michael! Sometimes converting the models can take a bit of time, but once you get it into Lumion it should be good to go whenever you need it! What plant model did you import?
Thank you it helps a lot! Where did you render the example video? if in lumion what's output quality? I'm getting a lot of noise in rendering video in lumion.
I rendered it in the Villa Cabrera example scene. If you want I can send you the effect stack I just adjusted a few things. This was rendered at 5 Stars/1920x1080 /60fps. I find for interiors you really need 4-5 stars, there is just way too much noise most of the time with only 3 stars. What kind of scene are you trying to render and what are you outputting at?
Hey Greg have you ever tried to render something like, a night indoor scene with moonlight BEING PRIMARY SOURCE lighting up the spaces and creating the play of shadows. Well I tried it Lumion but there weren't any great result. I wanted to achieve an effect like the volumetric sun light but its not helping. Can you help?
Cool idea! I have not really done it myself, but I will play around with it. I haven't used it before but have you tried the moon effect? The Lumion devs may have put some moonlight into that one.
@@LuminousLabs I tried it but unfortunately it's not helpful it just adds the moon in the sky. I didn't notice any change in lighting, maybe I may have missed something. Will be waiting forward for your views on it❤️

@@LuminousLabs Can't remember it's name but is has loads of leaves. Kind of looked a bit like bamboo. Worked a treat though and was good practice.

@@sanketkasar520 I will give it a go but I am not hopeful if the moonlight isn't added with the effect :( I will do my best
nice
Smart and handsome!
Thanks Gina you're the best
