Interior Presets: Using area lights and custom reflections to manage tight spaces and natural light coming through windows.
- Sun: Adjust heading and altitude to create interesting shadows. Avoid "High Noon" sun as it flattens the image.
- Sky Light: Essential for interiors. Check "Update automatically" or manually place a Sky Light object inside the room to brighten dark corners.
- Hyperlight: Set to "On" (Quality mode). This calculates bounced light and makes materials look significantly better.
- Omni Shadows: Enable this to add small shadows where objects touch (e.g., furniture touching the floor), adding realism.
- Rendering Engine: Lumion 12 features two rendering engines: Lumion Engine and Path Tracing. The Lumion Engine is a fast and efficient engine that produces high-quality images, while the Path Tracing engine provides more accurate and realistic results.
- Resolution: Choose from a range of resolutions, including 1080p, 2K, 4K, and custom resolutions.
- Sample Rate: Adjust the sample rate to control the level of detail in your render. A higher sample rate produces more detailed results but can increase rendering time.
- Ray bounces: Control the number of ray bounces to achieve the desired level of realism.
- Depth of Field: Enable depth of field to create a sense of depth in your render.
- Motion Blur: Enable motion blur to create a sense of movement in your render.
You can easily achieve breathtaking realism by downloading and applying free Lumion 12 effect stacks (.lme files).
