          I saw an interesting subject in one of the pictures (the "Friends of SketchUp" list) and I was wondering if anyone attended the part where E-on LumentRT was showed?
          Solo maybe?
          Tried Googling but couldnt find any info. What's it about?

            I saw it. It is a GPU based real time walktrhough type thing. It is not for high res rendering, but real time walk throughs with reflections, accurate lighting. And it is something you can make as a distributable .exe file (not sure if it is mac capable yet?) and send to a client and they can walkthrough your design, nicely rendered, in real time. No plugin for them to download, it all comes as a single .exe file. It looked interesting. Probably nothing I would use, but I do not do a lot of Arch. Vis. for clients that want 3d walkthroughs.

                  Was it any good? Was it customisable? Did they say something about a website or anything for more info?

                    Regarding LumenRT, I cannot say a thing guys, I have an NDA.

                    SDS 2 however is looking frigging awesome, Whaat showed the 'alpha' version that still needs lots of work, like menu system, UI, etc. However what he showed so far was amazing as he has integrated so many sculpt tools, poly reducing options, soft select, pinching/bulging tools..I cannot even remember all the stuff he has packed into it, almost a whole app on it's own.

                      Okay, for anyone interested in LumenRT I found this when googleing:

                        Holy cow! is this a fly-through with raytracing? There are big things ahead...
                        thanks Jan!

                          If you read the second link, (scroll down a bit to the LumenRT part) its says its lightmapped (meaning pre rendered and textured with the result) just like any other game engine. So no its NOT real time raytracing.

                            😳
                            should have read it first (and should have thought first)
                            But still this is very interesting - the quality of the lighting looks kind of promising...

                              That's interesting. I had understood that it was all GPU based. Perhaps the real time relfections are? maybe not....

                                  Most game engines can do realtime reflections. Either "real", meaning a camera that records the view and projects a texture on the reflective surface in real time, or reflecting a prerendered cubemap which is lighter on your gpu and is what I've used for reflective materials in my Unity apartment visualisation. The mirrors are "real" reflections: http://www.govisit.se
