Love this.

[@ArchAdemia]

I love this comment, thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@hyperMcraft]

I watch this videos and I get more impressed with the power of your PC than the results hahahaha Amazing work!!!

[@arthurkamara5293]

I like your videos. I would like to see a video on enscape one day too.

[@shahzaibzarkun1858]

love this tutorial and can u do one on lighting and night render.

[@ArchAdemia]

Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment. What specifically about lighting are you struggling with? Is it just generally night time scenes or more?

[@shahzaibzarkun1858]

@@ArchAdemia Night render in general would be good like how you use lighting in interior and exterior in night renders.

[@dwttexjw4796]

Great tut! Love it!
I do wish Lumion would consider lowering the subscription price however. I am on Lumion 11 still :(

[@ArchAdemia]

Thanks so much for watching and for the comment. Lumion is pricey, especially compared to the other, can’t lie. I would say it’s worth the investment as the time saved using it pays for itself over time. 😃

[@jeff34mb]

honestly, the amount of time my team and I save due to the super easy interface and controls of Lumion., it's well worth the cost.

[@jeff34mb]

Anything coming out in the next couple years regarding Lumion and ai? Like if you were to import your sketchup into Lumion, then ai and prompting would take over with Lumion? That has to be coming and when it does I'm sure you'll be all over it. Every day now I see these guys who claim to be architects and or designers who post these incredible architectural designed images. Super hyper realistic modern architectural masterpieces, but theres one big problem. They're only images, not 3Ds. Imagine if ai took over sketchup modeling and rendering software like Lumion. What are your thoughts? Will this ever happen?

[@ArchAdemia]

Hi thanks for the comment, I have no idea to be honest, but Lumion do have a product road map on their site, maybe give that a look and see.

[@silveretwilkes3726]

Is there a faster way of placing lights? They are always so terrible to place.

[@ArchAdemia]

I hate it too 😫 but in my experience I’ve not found a better way, the easiest approach though would be to turn off your roof/ceiling in your modelling programme and load that into Lumion so nothing is in your way. Keeping the light fixtures floating in mid air you can see and place lights from above quite quickly 👌🏼

[@jackbob2628]

I am Algerian, I don't have a university degree but I love architecture, could I get a job if I followed your training? THANKS

[@ArchAdemia]

Hi there, thanks for watching & for the comment. Our premium courses at archademia.com will 100% strengthen your chances of employment, but to be clear our platform doesn't provide degrees/masters, which are mandatory in becoming a qualified architect. But, I would recommend checking our website out either way as you'll certainly bolster your skillset relevant to the career of an architect.

[@Joshua-tx4kx]

is saying the lumion file is corrupted love the tutorial

[@ArchAdemia]

Thanks for the nice comment. I’ve just checked the file on another computer and it works for me. It’s version 2024.1, do you have that version of Lumion?

[@guyberryman5226]

lumion is just about plastic kinda materials but it is fast

[@ArchAdemia]

That’s why you should use Megascans materials. Head to that section of the video to find out more 🎥
