      I thought I'd add that the number of polygons in the scene is what will slow down the playback, so try reducing the number of polygons in the SketchUp scene as much as possible. Keep in mind that SketchUp components are expanded as individual objects inside LumenRT (because of the lighting that is different on each one).

      About your question re/ the large residential project, the newly released LumenRT 1.2 is designed to handle such larger projects through the use of the Auto-scale lighting option - but you might want to consider playing the LiveCube on a better GPU if there are lots of elements in the scene (i.e. polygons).

      Again, hope than helps.
      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

        Yes, Nicholas is right in that many laptop graphics cards don't have sufficient GPU memory/power to run Live Cubes effectively. Besides reducing the scene polycount, you can also create avi clips or images from the LiveCube to send to those who lack sufficient GPU power.

          Here's another cool LiveCube done by Hai Ban. Took him 25 minutes to render in Review quality mode. Really nice reflections on this. Check out the other images at:

              Just a quick heads up that LumenRT version 1.3 update is now available (download it from your e-on Software account page). Key new features:

              1. Support for "face-me" components - they will now all face the camera in LumenRT just like in Sketchup

              2. You can add a custom company logo to show on the splash screen of the LumenRT Live Cubes.

              We are still working to correct a few issues with LumenRT on Mac OSX Lion. Also, a demo version of LumenRT will be available shortly.

                  Such a bad luck, I bought this software couple weeks ago, and I still couldn't use it due to license error which is strange for me, why the developer took so long to resolve this. oh and one more thing, this program won't run at all on my machine. and I am still awaiting an update from them. 😡

                  It's time to render....

                          RFOX...Personnaly I always find it suspicious about a soft when there's no démo version.
                          To say the truth, and without presuming qualities of the soft, many users invested in a soft we are claiming a demo version for so many weeks.
                          Dont take it to hard e-on team but how can it be? IMO it demonstrates a strange lack of reactivity!

                                Try the Eon forums for a response. They might be able to find the cause of the crash.
