I have both software, definitely lumion is for faster rendering and I use it for exteriors, while VRay5 is just for interiors and a particular design. The learning curve is totally different, lumion is faster and my clients are happy with the end results.

Such a big difference in terms of contained algorithms, yet such subtle difference coming to visual fidelity in the run. What i gather from this session is that vray is quite open-ended while lumion is sort of stand alone with tonnes of presets built within for the end user in all its essence...😊

Just subscribed. Your points were quite right. I want to add something to that. I have been using 3ds max and Vray since 2010. Now people are more inclined towards SketchUp and new software additions. I really like how Lumion works with super realistic renders with minimum possible time. Vray has realistic rendering theme but it comes to spend hours and hours to achieve that. And it crashes sometimes when foreign 3d element imported to existing file. My recommendation to opt Vray for interiors and Lumion for exterior renders.

I like Lumion. Gets the job done faster. Speed is definitely the key in my workflow. It was not mentioned in the video that Lumion is a real time render engine while V-Ray is not. The real-time feedback really helps when editing materials, maps, colors, etc. It may true that V-Ray is more realistic in a raw output but if you know Photoshop well you can make anything look more realistic.

@SketchUpSchool 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, when you click on the render button Lumion does create renderings faster than V-Ray (that's the Rasterized vs. Ray Traced rendering difference). However, both Lumion and V-Ray offer real-time results - Lumion via the normal editor view and V-Ray via the Vision tool.

@@SketchUpSchool But Vray doen't have a Livesync Version like lumion does, does it? The ability to make changes in Rhino 3D (as an example), after you've added all the materials, lights, and effects you need, is a big advantage i think. Would love to hear your thoughts about it.

Yes, Enscape is a great tool. It can be compared more directly to Lumion: It is PC only and is a rasterized renderer - which means it renders faster, but less realistic than a ray-tracer like V-Ray/.

This was a great video. I have been searching for answers to these questions for quite a while. Your style is well paced and informative. Thank you for that. My situation is a bit unique. I am actually not in this business specifically but have been tasked with a project that requires photorealism 3D modeling for a few very specific layouts. Workflow and speed are not an issue since I will only (at least initially) be creating a couple of layouts and renderings. I would definitely err on the side of realism over speed. Also cost is not a huge factor but since I will not be using this software to make a continuous living I feel that V-Ray makes more sense. My project is strictly interior. I have experience with other software for other businesses that I operate namely AutoCAD and Pool Studio (my main business is exterior design). I have never used Sketch-up or V-ray Before. I assume signing up for your class makes sense but I don't have any real idea of how long that will take and if it is worth it given that I may only use those skills for a few select projects. Money is not the main concern to be honest but time and value are. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me on this.

One thing that sold me with Ray Tracing was my science background and discovered I could build an actual virtual telescope or camera lens that worked! Plus the results in actual real work are vastly more accurate. My first experience doing such was with Indigo Renderer. I dropped Indigo about six years ago when I discovered Vray had more flexibility. _(I understand Indigo has since come up to speed, but I've now completely switched over)_ Both are ultra hard-core accurate compared to rasterization and I would not ever think of going back, even though it works great. Rasterization is like dating a blow-up doll compared to a real human. :-)

At first, I hated VRay because or learning curve and loved Lumion. It was very fun and easy to learn Lumion, interior rendering was very fast. Later, we wanted to increase quality of photorealism and now we use VRay which was later on much easier to learn after practice with Lumion. Both are great software, you just need to adapt to your workflow.

I'm a practicing architect here and I used both lumion and vray. If you need to do a quick, easy and good enough presentation for your clients than lumion(and some other cheaper alternatives) is the one for you. If you're an advanced pro level technical archviz artist that wants super realistic presentation then vray it's for you. Honestly, most clients are happy with lumion. I only use vray for post built presentation as an extra service to the clients

As a student I have been using twinmotion for a year now and I can say it was the best until my computer couldnt catch up with the pathfinder, I started using V-ray and lumion but I can not have the results as I had in twinmotion, maybe because I’m used to the work flow of TM. V-ray has more metarial settings so my renders end up fantastic but I only use it when i finalize my design otherwise it takes so much time to render, Lumion is the best option to have quick renders and ready metarials

In SketchUp, you can create a road and determine where and how it goes. Then you can use either V-Ray or Lumion to render the road realistically (if you wanted to).
