LUMION ARCHITECTURAL ANIMATION (ENGLISH )

Divide the SketchUp model into parts by copy-pasting in place to protect coordinates, then align them in Lumion for easy import and to reduce graphics card memory usage.

Develop a storyboard for the animation by outlining exterior shots with two cars, a hero car, gates, a garage, ramp, and a green-screen element, using Lumion and Photoshop templates.

Import SketchUp models into Lumion piece by piece, align coordinates, and set camera angles across scenes while applying materials and planning animations for doors, car, elevator, and moving platform.

Apply Lumion materials with grass, soil, and ground cover, using Quixel Megascans textures and asphalt road maps to achieve displacement, weathering, and realistic reflections.

Apply diffuse, displacement, and relief maps to the elevator cabin using PBR materials from Megascans, balance reflections with ray tracing in Lumion, and batch-apply materials across interiors.

Export ivy models from 3ds Max to Lumion with lime exporter, mirroring and grouping at zero coordinates, then optimize high-poly ivies to reduce GPU memory and place along garden walls.

Experiment with Lumion lighting by applying ray tracing, lens flare, color correction, and real skies to craft sunrise or sunset mood for your architectural scene.

Modify and re-import models into Lumion, apply different glass materials to each surface, adjust curtains, purge high-poly models, and purge SketchUp memory to finalize the scene.

Place and export plants and trees into lumion using the lime exporter, optimize models, set coordinates to zero, apply opacity maps, decals for soil effects, and achieve misty lighting.

Record character animations in Unreal Engine against a green background, export as an MP4 video texture, and apply it in Lumion to enhance interior parallax cube scenes.
