    Hi Everyone,

    Just a heads up. There's a new update for LumenRT coming out this week. It includes a greatly improved ability to render very large models more efficiently with much better performance. More details are forthcoming on this later after the update is released.

          Will we be able to have a look at the forum before purchasing?

            Ecuadorian,

            Yes, we've been wanting to open up our registered user forum for a while but haven't gotten around to doing it yet (it requires some work on the forum engine to let everybody read, but only let those who have a registered copy post).

            We'll bump the priority on this a little more 😄

            Best regards

              On the demo version request, duly noted. We're looking into this.

                  hi at all,

                  LumenRT was my favorite, however i have try this on different pc´s.

                  LumenRT doesn´t work on pc´s nvidia Geforce 9800GT
                  Intel(R) Core(TM) QUAD CPU Q600 @2.40GHz 32 Bit WIN7 Ultimate.

                  a newer paccard bell (R) imedia Windows® 7 Home Premium - Intel Core i5 (i5 - 2300, 2,80 GHz, 6 MB) - nVIDIA 1 GB - 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1 TB Serial ATA - DVD - this work fine

                  plus

                  exe file is good when i dont want do give a file out of my hand.

                  what i can see isn´t bad.
                  navigation by the custumer/client
                  animation like in sketchup
                  plugin work on sketchup and sketchup pro 8
                  different versions (download or DVD)
                  work on WIN and MAC (macversion in a zipfile with password protection :-/)
                  the price

                  minus

                  preprocessing
                  no lights only sunlight
                  not a demoversion only a livecubeversion (exe) both is better.
                  only work for sketchup export from other apps isnt possible.

                  my compares

                  lumion work on a pc older than the packard bell(R)
                  twinmotion work on older pc export from sketchup to 3ds (only for pro user :-/)

                  my suggestion to pay for LumenRT

                  insert lights, provide night scenes, let work the livecube on older PC/MAC
                  insert animation that produced by other plugins in sketchup. provide a demo or trailversion.

                  sorry for my bad english

                    Hi Deaneau,

                    The GeForce 9800GT card should work. Can you try updating your graphics drivers on this card by downloading from NVIDIA and then trying LumenRT again.

                          Version 1.2 of LumentRT is now released:

                          http://www.lumenrt.com/

                          • the ability to render super large scenes (e.g. 1km x 1km) much faster using the new AutoScale lighting feature
                          • faster preprocessing speeds

                          Exisiting LumenRT users can download the update from their account page

                                Pre-processing times and hardware specs of these examples?

                                For a moment I thought the first render was by the Schwarzkopf company after seeing Ronen's logo... he he he

                                  Ecuadorian,

                                  I believe the author said something like 25 minutes pre-processing time, but best is to check out on the LumenRT registered user forums (by the way, our forums are now open to public reading, following your request):
                                  http://www.e-onsoftware.com/support/forum2/viewforum.php?f=6

                                  We will also ask the author if he wants to visit here to answer questions directly.

                                  Best regards

                                      Guys,

                                      If you look inside the content folder of the download demos it contains the lighting log showing exactly how long it took to preprocess:

                                      Cafe Rosso:............................ 13h14s (!!)
                                      Roman Bath: ............................0h21s
                                      Tadao Church of Light: ............2h28s
                                      Azuma Rowhouse:...................1h14s

                                      Adam

                                        Yes Adam, that sounds about right (apart from the Cafe Rosso time which seems abnormally long). If you check the logs, alongside the render times, it also tells you that the LiveCubes were rendered in advanced quality modes (Superior or Extreme). Advanced quality modes are usually overkill and only useful in particular lighting conditions. I don't think any of these models required advanced quality modes (we did it for the sake of perfection, really) - we could always re-render them in the faster Review quality and post that for comparison, if you're interested in seeing the difference?
                                        BTW, before you ask, rendering of these LiveCubes was done on an average, 2 year old computer.

                                        Best regards

                                          Hi We just bought LumenRT and it is very easy to use, and great result even at preview mode, incredible. The only thing is I feel the published file is too slow to play in any computer, I tried to play it in a Core I7 laptop and was so slow, are there any way to improve this? or Am I doing something wrong?

                                          Thanks
                                          Bravoddb
