Blueprint Effect
The blueprint effect is especially useful for animations. You can begin a clip with your
scene looking like a blueprint drawing and then gradually fade in the colors and materials
and watch your animation come to life.
Material Highlight Effect
It is often important to highlight certain materials in your renders or animations, so that
they stand out more clearly relative to everything else. For example, pipes, paths or
specific surfaces. The new Material Highlight feature allows you to do this quickly,
attractively and easily.
Workflow
Mass Placement
The new Mass Placement feature allows you to build huge scenes even faster than before.
Just draw a line and the objects you select will be placed along it. You can also spread
them out at arbitrary distances apart, rotate them randomly, mix the object selections and
change the number of objects placed. Mass Placement can be used for all objects, making
it extremely easy to put traffic on a road, create a forest or a garden, or place a crowd of
people . All of this with a couple of clicks and sliders!
Mass Move Effect
Animating objects is essential in bringing your films to life. The Mass Move effect
enables you to efficiently animate large numbers of objects. Simply draw a line in your
scene and watch the objects close to that line move at the speed and in the direction you
define. Super-easy and super-fast. This effect combined with the new Mass Placement
now makes it extremely fast and easy, for example, to create multi-lane traffic moving
along a wide road at different speeds, or to have a crowd of people walking along a street.
100 Photos
Lumion 5.0 has an expanded capacity for still images. Now its 100 photos; a great
improvement on Lumion 4.5, which could hold 10 photos. This possibility leads to an
improved workflow in making still shots. You can now take effectively as many as you
like, without deleting any before deciding to render the ones you want.
Multiple Movie Clip Sequences
Different stakeholders often have different visualization needs. For example, one
stakeholder might need a more conceptual and artistic look, while another might require
something more technical. In Lumion 5, creating multiple movies for the scene you have
created will be easy to achieve and manage. You can make up to 10 movies for a single
scene.
Five Render Quality Options
Being able to choose from five render options allows to find the balance between quality
and speed in your workflow. If you want the highest quality in your final video
presentation, then choose 5 star. When the time pressure is on, you can choose a 4 or 3
star with a very small compromise on quality but a greatly reduced waiting time: either
50% or 75% render time reduction. So, if you only have a half-hour to render your film,
click on the 3 star option and you'll get a great quality movie, on time!
Faster Rendering
Render time is crucially important in the visualization workflow. Due to detailed
improvements in the rendering engine, Lumion 5 renders even faster than previously.
Tests have delivered render time reductions of typically 20% to 90% for images and
animations of the same quality on the same hardware. This is quite staggering,
considering that Lumion was already the fastest architectural rendering option available
anywhere.
Volumetric Sunlight
Volumetric Sunlight is the kind of light that seems to hang in the air itself. This is an
effect that looks something like a ray of mist with light streaming through it. It can easily
be switched on and off in Lumion 5.0 and its characteristics can be adjusted with a slider
to give you the exact level you are looking for. This effect is categorised as a weather
effect but can equally well be applied indoors to help add atmosphere and breathe life
into a space.
Hyperlight in Photo Mode
Lighting can make or break the impact of a still image. Hyperlight provides a great
boost in the quality of lighting in your stills. Hyperlight was developed using unique inhouse technology and is a physically-based method of incorporating light reflections into
a scene. Hyperlight can be especially effective in making attractive images of building
interiors. It looks fantastic and adds a whole new ambience to your renders.
New People
The many places and cultures in which Lumion is now used around the world are
reflected in the characters available in the people library. With Lumion 5.0, another huge
step has been made with an extra 73 (in Lumion Pro) animated characters representing
various cultures from around the the globe. The new additions include, amongst others,
Middle-Eastern, African and East Asian characters. 60 of the characters were made by the
renowned 3D modeling company, aXYZ Design.
