Course Description
Are you ready to learn Lumion 12 quickly and easily while creating a fun, professional project?
In this course, the instructor will start you from the beginning with a SketchUp model (download link provided). The SketchUp model will be linked to Lumion and we will start the rendering process (Note: various types of models can be imported into Lumion, not just SketchUp). Within just a couple of hours, you will have gone through the essential settings in Lumion, and you will start creating photorealistic interior and exterior renderings of your own. By the end, you will have a nice piece to add to your portfolio.
The magic of Lumion is how intuitive it is, and how it streamlines the rendering process into something that everyone can easily understand. If you are an architect or a designer who needs visualizations / renderings but hasn't yet been able to learn complex rendering workflows, this is the course for you. With a simple UI, a vast library, and all the necessary tools in Lumion, you will be rendering photoreal images in no time.
It's time to take your SketchUp and Revit models to the next level with Lumion. There is no faster / easier way to go from a basic model to stunning visualization.
Students will go through:
Starting a new project
Navigation + UI
Importing your 3D model
Placing objects in your scene (such as decor and lights)
Modifying objects
Create realistic materials
Create realistic landscapes + forest
Use Lumion Effects
Composing Interior and Exterior Renderings
Adding post-processing effects
Create realistic final renderings
New videos will be added
This course is brought to you by Learn Arch Viz, a trusted source for architectural visualization training.

its okay and everything is good. Except that it keeps lagging and the video keeps stopping and it won't work until i refresh the page multiple time. this keeps happening every 5 mins. please find a solution

What I liked: - It shows interesting tips & tricks about the different Lumion options and features. - It covers a rendering project from the beginning, starting with the project (already finished) from Sketchup, then to Lumion (evidently) and ending with post-rendering with Photoshop. What I didn't like: - The course starts showing images taken from a project on ArchDaily (if I remember well without mention this fact) and initially you think that the images are going to be the final result of the whole project, but..... no, what the course does is just try to replicate some of the images. - The course doesn't show anything about creating videos on Lumion. Just rendering images. Just a final note..... The sound quality of the course is sometimes strange because it sounds like it was recorded near an airport with jet planes taking off.... :)

Spot-on training with absolute clarity and speed by the tutor. Have learnt to render a decent looking first rendered image in 7 days. Thanks and please add more tips and tricks for our learning. Cheers, Malavica.

Hi, I have never learnt Lumion before, but I found this tutorial immensely enjoyable. The tutor Andy Christoforou was really good. His explanations was spot on and I could see myself engrossed in knowing and using more of Lumion 12; although, he could be too fast at some point but I was able grasp the parts that I didn't understand at first which was in section 4 The Landscaping. I hope to keep in touch and be able to perfect more of the techniques. Overall, I enjoyed the course and hope to keep practising with it. Thank you Andy, it was amazing!
By Dérika Levin on 2/24/2023
Very comprehensive course in a short amount of time - concepts are simplified and the art of rendering is illustrated in a manner that even complete beginners can understand. I feel confident and equipped to embark on my rendering journey. Thank you Andy!

I've been using Lumion for over a year now, I didn't quite explored it since I always do rush projects for my job. Getting this course makes my rendering so much better now. I enjoyed and learned a loooooooooot from you Sir. Thank you so so much!

By Otigba Berlini on 6/21/2022
i am new to Lumion and this was a great lesson. I am used to Vray for rendering but this is quite a great step to understanding Lumion. He was quite detailed with some simple short lessons. Beautiful. Exceptional.
