From different placement types to selecting and modifying components, you’ll gain comprehensive proficiency in harnessing Lumion’s vast library of assets to elevate your design projects. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of component manipulation in Lumion.
This session will explore the art of using materials in Lumion and teach you how to improve the aesthetics of architectural designs. Discover rendering effects to give your scenes more depth and realism, and discover how to set up views to properly display your creations. At the conclusion of the module, you will render an example model using the knowledge you’ve gained to create breathtaking Lumion visualisations.
To get you started with Photoshop, we will cover a wide range of topics in Lesson One. You will learn how to use selection tools effectively, become comfortable with the Photoshop interface, and import files in an efficient manner. We’ll also dive into advanced techniques such as changing skies, adding humans to your compositions, and utilizing the transformation tool. Additionally, we’ll guide you through customizing your preferences settings to optimize your workflow.
We will examine a wide range of abilities and methods in Lesson Two. You will discover how to precisely alter layers and import PDFs to scale. We’ll go over how to render floor plans in full colour and black and white, introduce the brush tool for fine detail work, and show you how to do a smokey black and white render. You’ll also become an expert at rendering monochrome floor plans and produce realistic floor plans, which will improve your design presentations.
We will explore more sophisticated methods and resources in Lesson Three. You will learn about layer masking and participate in exercises to fully grasp its specifics. We’ll walk you through the process of creating a site plan and show how to use the pen and shape tools. To improve your architectural visualisation abilities, you’ll also learn about smart objects, rendering exploded views from SketchUp or Revit, and converting 2D floor plans to axonometric views.
