LumenRT 4

Nicholas Phelps

No sale here I am afraid.

No problem!

So, where does it crash? Inside of SketchUp, or is it inside of the LumenRT real-time playback? Your video board should work just fine.

Thanks for getting back.

Inside Sketchup

dtrarch, can you provide the scene? We haven't found any scenes that crash SketchUp once the Fast export option is disabled.
Thanks!

Dear Nicolas

Provide me with a working and free copy of the program and I will be pleased to provide what feedback you may request that is project permitted.

Hi Solo

Apologies but project files not swappable.

Nicholas,
I have two questions that I couldn't find definite answers to on the Eon site. 1) Is it possible to install on desktop AND laptop with one license ? 2) Without purchasing Publisher, what output do you get from Lumenrt ? Thanks

I have been looking for the same answers, especially how do I export an animation if I do not have publisher, I am currently using only studio version and want to test animation export.

Nicholas Phelps

You don't need the Publisher to export stills or animations. If you right/long click on the Play movie icon, this brings up the export movie icon. It's also on the Timeline bar.

Thanks.

Is there a quick start guide?

Pretty impressive so far, I decided to try break this first and complain afterwards, so I loaded a super heavy scene that buckles Sketchup I then added a lot of LRT vegetation, birds and people, hit export to LRT and it worked and fast too, this model breaks everything, in fact Vray cannot render the scene it's so big, Thea4SU struggles and Vue lags, LRT no problem smooth as silk, things have certainly improved from version one till now.

Click to see video, animation by using SU scenes and not animation creator within LumenRT, great frigging quality, considering this is draft, also I never touched a single material, straight photo textures, somehow LumenRT figured out what the water image was and I do not know how but it's great.

Thanks, good to know, what about my licensing question?

Mike,

I noticed in my account page at e-on that I have 2 activations, I'm guessing one can use it on two machines.

That sure is pretty awesome...!

This sounds truly strange...
Unless LumenRT has a build-in artificial intelligence system (which, in case it has, I'm sure can be useful for a lot of other purposes), I'm sure this must relate to something else...
Knowing that you tend to apply materials in various render apps and saving the 'skippy' is more likely to be the case...

Haven't you applied the water material in a previous version of LumenRT, which then will get recognized by the new...?

If not, then I'm sure it's a material from another render app., which is recognized by LumenRT...
There even seem to be a bump map applied to the water...

I know you have a monster computer, but how long time did it take to render that animation...?
