Has anyone looked at or used this program? It was highly recommended to me by a landscape/architectural
designer,

How do you think it compares with Artlantis? Lumion appears to come with a lot of shaders and textures.

i just looked at results ...

very impressive lumion movie, very smooth..
basically you work in a rendered environment... big graphic card is needed it..
i noticed a short learning curve also !!

i cannot really compare them..not too conversant in artlantis and i havent driven lumion, i dont qualify.... but love that stuff !!

(but i could compare revit and archicad for you !!?? .. just kidding mate!!)

Wow!! That takes real-time preview to a whole new level.

Still, Artlantis makes more sense to me for architecture, and ArchiCAD in particular, due to the 'reference file' technology which allows a model to be continuously updated while retaining all scene setup.

But, I do want that animated cat. 🙂

Lumion always had that feature, just click refresh while "painting textures" and it's done.

I have viewed Lumion 3d on line, looks very interesting.
Does anybody use this rending program, is it compatible with
archicad, is it as easy to use as it demos. Being a mac user, is there anything special in Operating system requirements?

Please - Tell me about it!
