General CG Discussion / Re: Lumion 8- A Game Changer??
« on: 2017-11-09, 09:42:10 »Yes, but it's not very expensive.
Try to think: the PRO (3.000 euro) has a 4300 pre-made model (ok, some are very simple)
But it means, more or less, 0.6 euro/model only for the models.
Plus, the software is very strong and full of features.
Hi Ceofuli,
If Lumion would be our daily used software package, then maybe yes.
But this is currently not the case, so Unreal is a better option for those occasional real time render jobs we do at the moment.
FYI the new arch-viz features in Unreal will be part of an enterprise subscription structure from what I've read :(
Hi WAcky,
you are talking about Datasmith. Yes, I have heard about that. I even have asked Chris Murray about the price, but he didn't answer.
Anyway Datasmith is intended to speed up your workflow.
But I have a feeling that it could be princely. Let's see how it will turn out.
I enter in Datasmith betatesting and It is very promising. Easy to export/import and they are working on Corona=>UE conversion. The materials you get in Unreal are a bit complex but Im sure they will get a good tool.
About Lumion, I prefer UE because of customization and blueprint control. Anyway they did good improvements.
