Is a very good news to see that you're taking into account even Mac and other devices ( Tablet/Smartphones ) because nowdays they're becoming the quickest way to check everything and lots of developers made a specific versions for mobile game engines
I remember you talkin' about the free version to be used as a viewer, that for now can really be an easy and quick solution for who wants this possibility now available, but still there's the content problem...
Main problems are:
- If it will be a single packaged file, the main problem will be to send the package itself, since it will be quite big
- Pain in the arse for the customer to download the package
- Pain in the arse for the customer to install the package ( both installing troubleshoot and admin privileges...yes, that is something to take care of... )
- Good PC configuration to run Lumion viewer properly ( that, I suppose, will be the same specs to run the "normal" Lumion, since the features are the same )
I don't know, but previously for me the .exe was the only thing that concerned me from buying Lumion, but now, checking on my customers needs, I see that a "simple" movie created with a 3D software is enough, but most of them look at the details ( indirect illumination with correct light values, reflections, amount of lights needed for night-time ) and so on...that is why I'm using Lumion ( free ) just for prototyping and not for the final render ( unfortunately
)
Has been a while since the "EXE" discussion started, so I'm wondering what is the situation right now about that, but I'm sure that you'll come up with something good and not so painfull to send/use
