Every time you make a change to an import model in Edit Materials and click on the Tick button, Lumion will update and save the required files.28 août 2014 How do I edit a file in Lumion?ģ. Currently there is no option to allow users to save elsewhere. This is adequate for our purpose of creating 3D environments as a backdrop for architecture design or visualization.All files for each imported model are saved by default in the My DocumentsLumion 4Library folder. The DJI Mavic Air can also cover a distance of 10 kilometers and make 4K video and 4000 x 3000 images with good resolution. It costs $800, weighs less than half a kilogram and it can fly for 20 minutes on one battery. For this workflow, I used the DJI Mavic Air.

Using a modern drone and the software Realit圜apture, it is now possible to capture an area of 300 x 300 meters and create a textured 3D model of sufficient quality for presenting a realistic background for your Lumion visualization. From our experiences, we derived a workflow simple enough to be used by architects (and not only 3D specialists). To test its viability, we used a drone-to-3D workflow for several real-life design projects. This technique is sometimes used at construction sites to monitor progress, but it is not yet widely used for architecture design and visualization. One solution is to create a 3D model of the environment using a series of photographs taken by a drone. I investigated several options, starting with Google Maps and Google Earth SDKs, but these services do not allow their data to be used outside the scope of Google Maps and Google Earth, such as for architectural visualization. This all got me thinking-there has to be a better way to improve fast context-building without having to sacrifice photorealism. Save this picture!
