My Channel's Future - Transitioning From Lumion
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 янв 2022
- I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has watched my Lumion content! I decided I will be moving the channel to a Blender-focused channel as that is now where my passion is. I will still answer any Lumion questions (g.miles@luminouslabs.ca) that I have the ability to answer and I will not remove old videos.
I didn't really make it a secret that Lumion 12 was disappointing, and I get the feeling that Lumion is in a maintenance mode. I do not expect any revolutionary changes (ray-tracing, DLSS, RTX IO, etc.) unless the engine is overhauled completely. I hope that I am wrong and the devs are able to add meaningful changes.
I know many of you will unsubscribe, but I think this is what is best for our company in the long run. Thank you so much again for watching my content!

Bensound has amazing music you should check it out :)
I think you're going to be happy with this change - as a content creator, I've definitely found that it's a lot easier to make content when you're making videos about something you're passionate about. Plus, Blender is just so big - there's SO much to talk about - you won't be hurting for new ideas ;)
You've provided the community with a ton of incredible in-depth Lumion tutorials. We live in a world of so many incredible options atm and blender is one of the most intriguing right now. I think it's a good shift to not create a brand new channel, but to just pivot.
I originally wanted to do it all, but we have got quite a bit busier lately and this will let me focus all of my time on our model library development or things like geometry nodes. I'd like to film another video with you again in the future. I meant to mention to you that the one we filmed a few months back had some feedback that I wasn't able to remove enough to make the video clear.
Thankyou Greg, for the Lumion tutorials, had a great time leaning from you🔥. Looking forward to blender and Unreal Engine, super excited.
Thanks so much! I am looking forward to hearing from you in the future.
You have just moved in completely right direction, the stagnation in SketchUp and Lumion have been really frustrating.
You are completely spot on regarding D5, unreal is way way better.
Hopefully I will be making my transition to Unreal this year.
D5 definitely has its place. I think it is a really cool software, especially for a person who wants renders that isn't necessarily a 3D artist. My business partner and I have a lot of time to tinker with Unreal so we have the luxury of working through problems that others may not have time to tackle. The only thing that is a bummer about Unreal Engine 5 is that Lumen doesn't work with VR glasses, but hopefully it will come in the future!
Feel this! Ever since upgrading SketchUp to the pro package I've started using VRay as my rendering engine. It's changed my mind about rendering solutions and integration. Love that you'll be focusing on Blender!
Vray is pretty great, especially if you want to keep the whole workflow in inside of Sketchup. One of the biggest issues I found with Lumion is the conversion from Blender was a tedious process.
hey, you were a great mentor for Lumion. But yes I am looking forward for Blender tutorials!!
Thanks!!
Thanks Sanket! I am looking forward to hearing from you in the future :D
I used Lumion for 2+ years, but the 3D Architectural CAD program that I design and draft all of my projects in has recently upgraded their raytracing engine and now I can produce more realistic renderings inside the CAD program than I can with Lumion, especially interior renderings. People always critiqued my Lumion interior renderings. Now, people think my interior renderings are actual photographs of finished projects. I miss some of the exterior tools of Lumion (3D grass and realistic plants/trees) - I'm hoping the CAD program I use allows for scanned imports from sites like Xfrog. The last several Lumion upgrades have not been worth the thousands of $$ they have been asking. I feel Lumion may disappear in a few years - either fall behind or forgotten about.
Well Good luck with the change , i learned alot of things about & may be sketch up too from you channel. & thank you for that. I guess i will stick around & won't unsubscribe 😁 Thank you once again & Good luck 🤗
Still supporting! Love yours videos :) I come from lumion to only Blender too(but it was a year ago)!
Thanks so much Andrej, I hope you see you in the comments of future videos :D
Your Lumion Content was always the Best and so so so Helpful!
Thanks a lot Chase! I will always try to help anyone that has questions about Lumion even though it is no longer my main focus.
You are way ahead of your time, I like the changes u are about to make, and I hope I can follow your new uploads to learn systematically, and get my way up to know about blender and unreal engine
Happy New year Greg!!! We need to catch up!! Yes. One day will learn blender so bring on all the vids.
For sure Allen! We can definitely try to schedule something in the near future.
Cheers! I am looking forward to a new content Blender and Unreal oriented.
Wish you all the best.
It will definitely be coming! I am looking forward to showing everyone what we have been working on!
It's a shame, but I certainly understand the reaction from Lumion's developments. especially with the latest version. We have been in contact through the lumion forum over the past year and have learned a lot from lumion through you and your videos. I personally will not make the switch to blender. I am looking to make the step to UE5. my customers still want a quick result that looks good, for which they do not want to pay more than 500,-. Thank you very much and I look forward to your videos from unreal.
I'm really happy I was able to help you out Guilliaume! I wish you all the best.
For a typical client do they normally just get 1 or 2 still images or do you do animations?
Yes!! As someone who is an architect using lumion everyday id love to lean blender more. Ex what you are showing in video with the bed
I think it is a good tool to have! The bed is just demonstrating the new viewport denoising in Blender. In the new 3.0 patch the viewport doesn't have to calculate the rendered viewport nearly as long so it is much closer to real-time.
Wow - big news. Thank you for all your research and sharing with Lumion , it was very helpfull to me . Thank you also for keeping the Lumion video on, they will be usefull to a lot of people. The upgrade price/feature ratio is simply not there with Lumion since version 9. Along with Rhino, Blender is on my (long) list of software to learn in 2022.
This is super helpful actually. I've been struggling with the same dilema.
I think a lot of us are in the same situation. Blender has really changed how I look at 3D art and I love finding new tricks out so it just makes way more sense for me to focus my videos on it.
Thank you Thank you for your time with Lumion, you have given me so much, its sad I can't get more... but I will also shift to blesnder, I got time.
How did I miss this? Thanks for everything you have done for Lumion users and I agree with what you are saying!
I'm also trying to include blender more into my bussiness! Can't wait for the juicy Blender vids! Best of luck!
Great news Greg. The same situation is with me. For the last year, I have been practicing modeling in Blender. I've been working on renders more and more lately. I took your advice and signed up for IMashh models. This workflow is already producing good results. We continue this journey together. I wish you all the best.
That is awesome! IMeshh is probably the best money you can spend on assets. They are heavy models but that is because they go full-throttle on quality which I really like.
Good Decision, wish you the best, I did this too, about 6 month ago and I'm completely Satisfied.
Thank you so much! I wish you all the best!
I so agree with you. We also have moved on to enscape/vray/corona render. Lumion is only for videos that too only for the concept development stage. Good on you. Best of luck to you.
I can see where you are coming from. Lumion can handle huge scenes well, but I find that for how long it takes to set up on complex projects it ends up not being worth it. Best of luck to you as well! Stay healthy.
Thank you Greg! Learn a lot from your works. Wish you the best!
Btw is blender a fast tender time software?
Technically yes and no. Blender has two render engines, one is called Cycles that is Ray-Tracing (slow renders but high quality) and the other is called Eevee and it is Real-Time (Instant renders but lower quality).
You can get some really cool renders with Eevee but in my opinion it is much harder to learn.
Thanks for checking out the channel Eric :)
My guy! You helped alot, like for real. Best!
Thanks a lot Jordan! I am really happy that I was able to help you out. I wish you all the best!
can you share all the add-ons you use for your blender workflow? thanks!
I think I am going to make a video about this, a handful of people have asked so I can walk through the ones that I find really helpful!
@@LuminousLabs appreciate it man!
Interesting, I recently made the same choice for my workflow to switch to Blender. I'll definitely follow you Greg, in fact, I'm already looking forward to your blender tutorials!
I look forward to seeing you in the comments of the future videos Martijn! I think there are a lot of people making the change and I am excited to connect with new and old viewers!
deeply agree with u ) same thing blender+UE5! after 10 years of 3dsmax i decide to try blender finaly ))) after that i didnt use 3ds not even once.
Thanks.....
All the best.
Thanks so much Simon! I wish you all the best as well.
Smart move, please try sharing some blender addons for some of your subscribers who find it difficult purchasing anything in dollars. And trust me doing that will get you more to subscribe.
Honestly I'm sad to see you drop lumion but I get you, it's only a bit over a year for me but I've learned a lot from you in the time I started watching your vids, that said, Blender and Unreal work flow has caught my attention, I'm really glad that you have taken this up, your tutorials are always really clear, to see them transfer to blender and unreal is going to great, the irradiance cube lighting gives me the most issues in Eevee, I always get some bad black sploches, would like to see how to resolve those issues. New year, new focus, Blender and Unreal it is and I agree. I will continue tune in 👍
I actually can't be of too much help with the Irradiance cube, since we focus on Cycles. Eevee is pretty interesting, but we just brute force renders like cavemen so Cycles lets us get the most out of our graphics cards hahah I am looking forward to continuing to see you in the comments Charles!
@@LuminousLabs Yes, I'll stick around, currently I'm a real caveman in blender but soon enough I'll produce something that can impress you👍
I have no idea how Lumion wants to compete with D5 Render or twinmotion.
There are still some advantages to using Lumion but they seem to be slipping away. I hope Lumion can add some cool features but I don't think I will be able to use it consistently commercially.
I was wishing for unreal engine 5 kind of direction...
SU to UE5 is what the need of time
Sketchup to Unreal is definitely a tedious process but completely possible! I have been playing around with nanite and it is incredible.
@@LuminousLabs a comprehensive tut for sketchup to ue5 will be great, as i want to keep the modelling part to be kept in sketchup only as sharing models with other parties stay simplified, creating technical drawings stays possible in sketchup, while wanting to use ue5 only for the soul purpose to replace use of lumion rendering, especially for interiors.
If u could please help on that, there are many tuts already available, but they are all in bits and pieces.
Many like me are totally novice to ue5 to the level that we can only spell the name of the software.
@@ShomitSarkar Right I see where you are coming from. I don't typically use Sketchup for Unreal, however I think with my knowledge of both I may be able to pull something together. I will discuss with my business partner if he has any advice because this could really help alot of people.
Smartest move you could have made. Lumion just ain't it. Blender has been on the rise for sure.
It is sad because I think there were a lot of changes that Lumion could do to really enhance the software but I am not sure what their future plans are. I feel like Lumion isn't really leveraging the full power of the new Nvidia graphics cards.
