I've been saying for years the best people out there for architectural modelling of this nature, is not architectural 3d modellers but Environment Artists who work in game design. They are also by far the most efficient when it comes to resource management and efficiency. I'm from an Architectural background, but I spent years looking into how Environment Artists make their worlds, and now I apply their principles of super-quick, efficient, and resourceful modelling. I am grimacing when I open another Architect's 3d model and discover how messy and inefficient it is. I can understand why you used Lumion - it's what you are an expert in. But, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Unreal Engine would have been a vastly more superior option. But obviously, it takes time to learn it and you wouldn't have had the time.

This is mad! I've been trying to find a way to import a model of areas of cities (for context buildings) and still have no idea how you managed to get those buildings with their actual textures on them haha
@ShowItBetter Жыл бұрын
When exporting from City Engine, it gives you an option to create a series of map variations. Inside city engine you can import the actual textures, or you can also replace them later in lumion. Maybe the hardest part is learning city engine, but the actual process is not that complex :)

What a way to put Lumion on the market. This is a very powerful presentation for business and marketing. I really hope the developers of Lumion as listening to some of the things the users of their product are suggesting in order to improve. Again this presentation speaks volumes. We love the speed Lumion gives and the finish however others like D5 Render, Twinmotion and Unreal while having their own niche are making game-changing improvements. We would hate for you to lose ground.

Wow that's awesome! Does city engine actually generate the geometry for the buildings? The closest I've come to something like that is osm > blender > rhino, but if this program can actually generated the buildings with more details than just massing (cadmapper) that would be game changing! Can't believe I haven't come across something like this before

How did you get the 3d terrain from google earth? Or did you use City Engine to get the geographical data of the terrain ((I'm not familiar with that program and I don't know if that's possible) and added a texture to it saved from google earth?
@ShowItBetter Жыл бұрын
We used two satelite images, the one in the lowest resolution was from google earth. Just open Sketchup, insert a location, and select show terrain. Then you import that file into lumion and match it with the base model. The second one was in a higher resolution, and it came directly from arcgis, a satelite image in high res specifically of the area. Although it was much heavier in size, it made the closer shots look better. But if you dont use arcgis then you can always just do it with google earth, I recommend grabbing various close up shots in sketchup so it can be in a higher res!
@kabootriachhimurgi Жыл бұрын
Hi. I am an Architect at CPKA in India. The best workflow that i have found to address this is to grab 3d terrain from cad mapper. Merge multiple portions if the area is larger. Take a Google Earth image of the said area in highest resolution. Keep the scale and north turned on. Scale the image in sketchup. Position the scaled image directly over the 3d terrain. Line it up using a reference point. Now explode the image. Grab the paint bucket tool. Sample the image. Now Open the terrain component. Select all (Ctrl+A). Paint it with the sampled material. Voila. Its done
