Lumion

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

Download the free demo and give it a try and let us know what you think...

Lumion is great!
I made this with old Lumion 1 version:

Nice video... but not sure what this offers over Artlantis? Animated birds are the thing I see that Artantis doesn't have (but maybe it is available?).

How do you compare price, performance/speed, ease-of-use to Artlantis?

wow! just impressive!

Now don't have anyone calling you a shill, now…

Sounds like a shill, I suppose, but seriously: Artlantis has workflow integrated with ArchiCAD; Lumion doesn't. Prices are similar. So, I was seriously asking why someone might consider using Lumion instead... 🙂

It happened to me last week, so i was just teasing…

Just viewed Artlantis.
very impressive!
Did not realize it was an animated program,
thought it was more like Piranesi.
Very Cool!

Was asking about Lumion, because I came across it on the Net,
and was impressed with their video. But now seeing Artlantis
and seeing that it's compatible with Archicad, I would diffinetly go this route.

AND, there's this great book about it, too.

So let ME be a shill for Artlantis:

If you are on this thread because you are sort-of interested in better Archicad rendering and are looking at the range of intermediate tools in the market, go to Artlantis first since it has a great connection to Archicad for export and revision stages, is a fast worker and has superior lighting quality [to list only three qualities]. And, a great fully-functional demo where you only need cut off the bottom logo for a real rendering.

Don't waste time auditioning things like Lumion because Artlantis serves Archicad users better.

We will soon face a new wave of rendering products that change the game: products reliant on the GPU that prove to be faster and more detailed in all areas. They'll need a much larger card [i run a 2Gb video card for mine] but they preview instantly. Tremendous potential.
