Updated images on bottom Hello all,
I am currently working on a really fun project which is a Crab Museum for a city in China. I cannot disclose too much information about the project or client but thought these were turning out REALLY awesome!! I started rendering them in my typical still rendering program (SU Podium for Sketchup) but quickly turned to lumion as the renderings were taking 6-8 hours a piece to render. Thankfully Lumion still renderings have come A LOOOOOOONG way since the beginning and I am now able to provide high quality, higher priced, renderings while taking a fraction of the time. Anyway, not my design just rendering the space for a competition entry, hopefully my client wins because of the renderings! :)
Ill submit a "Finished Project" thread once I finish, I am still waiting for their comments but thought I would post on here just in case anyone has any good suggestions.
This is mostly lumion I only did a little bit of levels and "glow" in photoshop, Ill follow with a raw render
Thanks :) :-D
2) Lumion pro 7.0.1
3) Modeled in Sketchup
4) Setup in lumion maybe 30 minutes to an hour per scene
5) each scene renders in a few seconds still on desktop resolution for now - GeForce GTX 980 ti
6) PC used - Alienware Area 51 platform / 32GB RAM / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti with 6GB GDDR5 / Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5960X Overclocked up to 4.0 GHz w/ Turbo Boost.

Very nice job!
How many times did you spend to have such a huge 2D people library?
I tried to have 2D billboard people by importing in lumion a .Skp with only a .png image file set at the right size, but in a Lumion render, billboards are overexposed, not the same result as yours wich is really nice!
-
Thank you I appreciate that!
Most of the 2d people are just face me components in skp that I leave in the model. So before I reload the model in lumion I set my skp camera to the right camera angle that I want to render in lumion, save it, and then when I find the right angle in lumion the people are all facing the camera properly. The limitation is that I would have to use different people for an animation I think, but I will not be getting paid for that on this one. So I went this route, it is the most successful I have found for still renderings. I inserted a few lumion people here and there to fill in the voids (ie in the aerial). Also I have learned the shadows from the 2d SKP people are not accurate if the sun is coming across them as they are just a flat plane in space, so they dont cast shadows unless the sun is more directly in front or behind the people.... Hope that helps :-D

Great Job!
I really liked interior view 1 - your extensive use of your 2D SketchUp people really add life to the space! Your clients must be thrilled!!
Well done!

Hi Archi & Partners / Bertrand
...I tried to have 2D billboard people by importing in lumion a .Skp with only a .png image file set at the right size, but in a Lumion render, billboards are overexposed, ...
Can you please raise a topic in the General Questions Board so we can follow up on that.
-
Thanks Chuck!! :-D :-D So far they are very happy, but you know, like good architects, they are not completely happy, so there will be a few more rounds of edits I imagine. But that usually makes for a better image so I will continue to post progress as it happens! 8)

Wonderful renders and architectural design.
I really like the mood lighting. :)
Best,

Hello all, this project had to take a break but back on it now and looking for advice. Wrapping them up and just want to make the best renderings possible. Attached are some of the ones I've updated so far. Thanks in advance!!

Here is another one I updated, thanks again!!

Here is another update in the works.... Thanks

Hi WP,
Looks great. How much, if any, post production is involved in these images?
-
Hi Paul, good name (mine too ;) So sorry for the late response, had a busy summer and just getting back around to this stuff 8) :-D
There is a varying degree of post processing on each but yes there is some in every image. I find Lumion VERY powerful and gets me sometimes 100% to my end goal but many times more like 90% and I just need a little bit of color adjustment, added depth, levels, blurring etc... to polish off the image. I have attached a few raw renderings here so you can see the difference.
Thanks!
