Hi everyone,
Welcome to Just Necessary: Lumion’s Courses, a course intended to help you know how to use Lumion’s real-time technology. My name is Nhan. With three years of professional architectural design background, I understand the necessity of producing a fantastic render in a limited time.
My priority is to provide you with the quickest Lumion workflow to improve your speed and quality of photos and video rendering. This course is designed for architects rushing to achieve a project deadline who want to express their ideas to clients through photo-realistic representations; and architecture students who wish for an excellent presentation to explain their studio work.

Before beginning the lesson, we need to look at the requirements below to determine if your computer can give you an excellent Lumion experience. Lumion also requires a computer with a fast graphics card, plenty of memory, and an internet connection.
Hi everyone
Welcome to the Lumion’s course from JUST NECESSARY.
This very first lesson is an introduction to some basic shortcuts in Lumion.
These shortcuts will make your work process much more efficient.
Don't worry if you cannot remember some shortcut in Lumion, a PDF will summarize them for your convenience right below the description.
Hi everyone,
Today we will learn how to make fabulous photo renders in Lumion. Firstly, we must arrange a 3D model before beginning the rendering process. This first step will allow you to work easier.
What do we need in a 3D file for render?
• Fully Material
• Remove the All-Trees Model
• Delete All Unnecessary Elements
• Save The 3d Model into Many Separate Files
You can download this 3D model in the description below.
So that you can together practice during the lessons.
Hello everyone,
We finished Organize 3D file in the previous session. This tutorial today will lead you through the workflow to create a Photo-Realistic Render with Lumion, allowing you to get the most out of Lumion in the shortest amount of time.
Here is the list of work for the basic Setup in Lumion:
Select default Environment
Importing 3D File to Lumion
Layer Setup
Setting Origin Point
Camera Setup
Materials might also have an emotional impact on your clients. There are many items in the Lumion materials collection.
Landscapes (soil, water, rocks, grass, etc.)
Interiors (fabric, glass, leather, metals, plastics, etc.)
Exteriors (concrete, bricks, roofing, asphalt, wood, etc.) … and much more
You can download this material list in the description below.
So that you can together practice during the lessons.
We learned about the placement tool in Lumion in lesson one, and now we will use the Mass Placement Tool to create the greenery for our render.
Lumion has a variety of features and tools to allow you to create a perfect lighting arrangement for your ideas. This contains spotlights, Omni lights, and other similar systems.
We'll now add some effects to our render.
Here are some essential effects for improving your photo rendering.
Sun Effect
Reflectivity Effect:
Autumn Generator Effect
Analog Color Lab Effect
And Fog Effect
Here is the final step for a fantastic render. We are dealing with perspective in the render process. As a result, objects appear smaller and blurrier as their distance from the observer increases. This tutorial will show you how to apply this perspective theory to improve the quality of your rendering photos.
You can download the Effects list in the description below.
So that you can practice together during the lessons.
I will show you how to load these Effects to your Lumion in 8 Essential Tips for Lumion below
Hi everyone,
This lesson will explain the process of creating a video render with Lumion. After creating photo rendering, you will want to go the extra mile to make some movies for your design, which would help you to win the competition.
This tutorial explains how to add effects to videos in Lumion and how they might help you work more efficiently.
This tutorial will teach you how to create a background that could make a difference. There are three effects for this purpose:
Sky & Cloud Effect
Fog Effect
And Depth of Field
In Lumion, Sharpness effects and Hyperlight will increase the quality of details captured in a rendering.
Today I will show you how to save the materials you've applied to a 3D model and reload them if necessary. We will need to save the materials used on the 3D models throughout development,
This should be done in case something goes wrong or we need to switch materials without losing any settings.
This tutorial will teach you how to use a video as a texture, this really benefits a television or a commercial LED billboard, which will look much better if a video is played. Because the movie will begin to loop, you must keep this in mind when creating an animation.
During the idea stage, you may have many options for specific details that you'd like to discuss with the client. This tutorial shows you how to upload and render many options in one click in Lumion.
Those 3D models are available for download in the description below.
So that you can practice together during the lessons.
This tutorial will look at how we can use the image overlays effect to get more out of our Lumion renderings.
Render passes, also known as render elements, are the raw elements generated by the rendering engine to build the final image. These various formats can be extracted and mixed with software that supports layer-based composition.
Welcome to Just Necessary: Lumion Courses from Basic to Intermediate, a course intended to help you know how to use Lumion real-time technology. Although Lumion is a simple tool, it doesn't automatically produce better architectural visualizations. My priority is to provide you with the quickest Lumion workflow for a typical project and eight essential tips to improve your render.
With three years of professional architectural design background, I understand the need to invest most of your time in design and drawing technical blueprints. As a result, the render time is limited, hurting your presentation.
This course is for you if you are an architect or designer who needs visualizations/renderings but does not have the time to understand complicated rendering processes. Are you ready to master Lumion 12 in the fastest way possible?
This course will begin with an overview of Lumion's essential tools and functions. We'll start with SketchUp models (download link provided) and work our way up to importing and setting effects for the render. You'll have gone through the fundamentals of creating excellent exterior photos and movies in only a few videos. This course is incredibly detailed, with theory and practice working hand in hand through numerous examples that will become more advanced as more knowledge is achieved.
