Lumion 8.3 has released an upgrade from Lumion 8. At the core of the release is the Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp and the improved LiveSync for Revit.
Lumion LiveSync lets architects and designers set up a real-time visualization of their SketchUp or Revit model in the Lumion environment. Users will see their model in Lumion’s fully featured landscape with detailed materials, photorealistic lighting and shadows, and objects from a content library.
Lumion 8.3 also enables 3-D rendering workflows. As architects and designers continue to develop and change their models in SketchUp and Revit, they can simultaneously prepare their renders in Lumion and save their scene for future development or rendering.
The LiveSync in Lumion 8.3 includes:
- Point-of-view synchronization between SketchUp/Revit and Lumion
- The ability to add and save materials to a LiveSync project
- Real-time materials synchronization and visualization
- Automatic model importing into Lumion (no need to separately import a model)
The LiveSync plugins for SketchUp and Revit are available on the Lumion website or the Autodesk App Store.
