You may be thinking “ I don’t have a clue how to make a fly-through animation“, but that is where Lumion lives. To start with, let’s consider whether Lumion can really add value to your current design and development pipeline. As usual, I have reviewed the software, but at the same time I am sharing practical tips and guidance on how to get up and running with Revit and Lumion. I received a review copy of Lumion 5.3, and tested it using Revit 2015 Update 7. Will it result in a better visual result?.Is using an additional presentation package, like Lumion, worth it?.Using RPC and Realistic display modes within Revit can achieve a certain result, but here are some questions: One area in which Revit has sometimes wavered is in pure visualization, particularly of the real-time and photorealistic variety. It has a solid parametric, data and intelligence engine, which can be extended in many ways through the expansive API. Due to the proliferation of excellent addins and addons, I now realise that Revit is positioning itself as the operating system of the BIM environment.
In times past, I had this dream that Revit would be the sole answer to every single architectural and modelling question.
