      Looking awesome!

      The price however has risen considerably to $795, I'm assuming this is due to the new plant factory and animated object, none the less it looks like an awesome deal and comparative to the other big one out there based on price, now if only I could afford it.

        I've got the review version - looks like they've made quite a few improvements and additions.

          Sorry to hear that, what is your GPU?

          I will give it a go soon I hope and report back, I'm excited by what I have seen, hope I do not run into any problems.

            dtarch, sorry to hear that. Not sure what size your scenes are, but if they're large, did you try disabling the Fast Export option?
            If it crashed in SketchUp, then that option should fix it (you should have had a popup informing you of this fact).
            If it's GPU, please detail your GPU.
            Also, can you provide one of your scenes so we can see what is going on? Thanks.

                Can you tell us what your GPU is (video board)? It's not listed in your system specs above.
                Thanks!

                    To be honest, I have always been interest in LumenRT since the beginning because I am a novice Vue user. Unfortunately, I was never impressed enough to spend the $400 on it and now its $1000 which makes that a much harder pill to swallow.

                      I totally understand your point, I have the same issue with Lumion, I love the software and have used it quite a lot for small animations, unfortunately the quality is not on the level I can charge the amounts that animations go for at market value so they come in at around a high quality single image render which makes it very hard to justify or even earn enough to purchase the updates which is on average $1000 per upgrade every year.

                      LumenRT now looks like another tool, a collaboration tool, I cannot say how or if I will be able to use it for a commissioned project as I have never had a call for such a collaboration yet. I will need to play with it and see all the possibilities it has to offer I guess. I did notice there is a new video which combines Vue with LumenRT, this is just brilliant from what I saw and this I can use for my landscape design clients, however this then adds another layer of costs as now one needs Vue too and I am still on version 9 as I could not afford to keep up with the annual upgrades so I'm assuming this feature will be unavailable to me with my current version (unconfirmed as I do not have LumenRT to try).

                      Then there is hardware, both apps need a good GPU so yet another layer of costs to consider annually, as a freelance artist I sometimes feel squeezed out by the costs of staying current and up to date.

                        Solo has it right on.
                        LumenRT is overpriced and compounds the issue requiring system upgrades to work properly.
                        IMO if ones system can run Sketchup then it should be able run LunenRT.
                        Great video promo for exteriors but less impressive for the short interior clips.
                        Thank you for getting back.

                          No problem! πŸ˜„

                          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.

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

                                          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.
