![]() ![]() In this way, the development of your design and your presentation output can be very logical and layered. ![]() Ra ther than present you with an overwhelming and detailed set of buttons, Lumion allows you to progress your digital presentation in stages, from Building to Materials and Lighting and Presenting and so on. As someone used to complicated programs like Revit and AutoCAD, this is a welcome breath of fresh air to me. The user interface itself is nice and clean and easy to read and understand. So if you have an established way of designing and communicating, take this opportunity to re –evaluate as I review Lumion. Yet, if that were true, innovation would not be a reality. We often become so used to a way of working that we almost feel like there is no o ther way, or that perhaps we already have the best way. Lumion gives a certain realism and context to your design that can assist you to modify and improve the design internally, before it is even time to present it to anyone. Yet, once they start using Lumion, they get to grips with it easily and quickly learn to iterate design changes and brief clients more rapidly and smoothly. He describes how a new user of Lumion can easily get comfortable with the basic concepts of the software, even those who are not ‘technical’ or especially comfortable with computers. Roger describes that Lumion was initially designed to be a powerful presentation tool, but Architects soon discovered that it can also shift the way they design in very positive ways. Often we don’t immediately recognise the full potential of a new, beautiful idea. He told a me a very heartening story about the development of this piece of software… So, what is Lumion? Recently, I was speaking to the Chief Operating Officer of Act –3D, ( the parent company of Lumion), Roger Hammond. ![]() Thecombination of Revit and Lumion give architects a complete toolkit for modeling, understanding, sharing, adjusting and presenting their design. It is also about a powerful piece of software called Lumion – a design communication tool that I personally use and have used for quite a few years. This is a site about Revit, but this article is about discovering new possibilities, new ways to express your design, new ways to add context, realism and reality. ![]() Every designer faces the same challenge of communicating their design ideas in a thoroughly engaging way: whe ther the communication be to their clients, o ther stakeholders or even as part of their own internal design process. You may have an excellent ‘design’ in your mind, but displaying or presenting that to a client is an entirely different matter. Yet, so often design is let down by the poor translation or communication of ideas. The word itself carries a certain weight, it is somehow deliberate and exciting at the same time. ![]()
