LumenRT 4

Daniel

I've loaded Vue Inf. 11.5 on my new computer with the specs you recommended, and I loaded a fairly detailed SU model of a building and test rendered (no trees, ground, etc.) it at one of the higher settings - it took about 5 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised by the speed.

I'm really enjoying this software.

Clients love it.

Trying to embed video with major fail. Sorry.

Hello All.

I am fairly new to all this so forgive me for my ignorance if it shows.

I am using SketchUp Pro 8 and 2013 with LumenRT 4.

I have two lighting issues that I need help with.

The first item is that I am doing a backyard design with a new pool. I am trying to put a light in the pool under the water to illuminate the water.

The second item is that that I have exposed light bulb strings hanging over the patio and hot tub in my design. I have tried several ways to make the light bulb glow. I have added lighting to the bulbs and all I get is light landing on the objects near the bulbs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Sorry I missed your post. I'm not sure I understand your problem with the underwater lights, but the answer to your question about visible lights is to turn on the light flares in the scene settings.

Jay, I cannot see those images, I'd like to help, can you fix them?

Pete, re the above images. I just clicked them and they show as Picasa images.

I believe the new update will be available today or Monday, it includes a whole lot of new plants.

I have a beta version with a few of the new plants, there are flowers also.

Daniel

Eagerly anticipating the update. I hope the new trees/plants aren't tropical - I've yet to find a use for banana and palm trees in East Tennessee.

You will be happy then, off the top of my head I remember seeing Alder, Elm, Azalea, Beech, Birch, Boxwood, Buckthorn, Laurel, Chestnut, Cypress, Willow, Dogwood, Ficus, Eucalyptus, Fir, Hawthorn, Hickory, Juniper, Mahogany, Maple, Linden, Magnolia, Red Oak, White Oak,
a whole bunch of Pines, Poplar, Redwood, Spruce, Walnut and Willows, there are many others I cannot recall.

Wow Pete that was off the top of your head! Lol! That's funny. Well anyway it looks like a much better bargain than Lumion at $2000 for the standard version. Is there a trial version of Lumen RT?

Daniel

I believe there is a PLE version of LumenRT available.
