Lumion vs Vray - What are the biggest differences?

A platform to learn Architecture Representation and Visualization:

―
In this video, I'm doing a little experiment to see how do Lumion compares versus Vray under the same circumstances. The goal of this video is not to decide which one is better, but to understand how the render engine works in each one and see how that would apply to our needs. And I thought a quick physical model would be perfect for this test!
It's not every time that I've got the answers to all questions, and just as you I'm always learning. And I thought why not take you with me in this search, right?

Stop reading my mind, I was actually thinking about this earlier this week.

Thanks for the video

[D_Diederik]

The post-production is what makes both of them stand out immensely. I would love to see a tutorial on that :)

[brunobordini]

Como sempre! Os melhores tutoriais de diagramação!

[imadeddine]

Great Oliver thks ! And yeah i agree, a video that shows the workflow Lumion+PS will be great !! thks again !

[bradvanburen]

They look so similar. I guess if you have the time and are a stickler for final phase renderings to look perfect, V-Ray would work better. At my office we do constant revisions to the renders as the client often changes their mind or explores options with materials. For this workflow.. Lumion would be a better option in my opinion.

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

[nyomanangga]

kind of excited about the upcoming videos

i personally would choose vray everytime. You're not gaining that much for the ability to animate. You can get a lot of value out of 2 or 3 amazing static renders that end up having a better impression on a client than a mediocre looking animation. Animation might win in a very complicated scene with a lot of geometry that would look confusing and chaotic, where animation would make it easier for a person to understand what's going on, in which case Enscape would make more sense than lumion in every aspect of the workflow

I've been experimenting with rendering and realistic drawings lately, so the Lumion video would be very helpful, cause I'm considering spending time learning how to use it. Once again great content!

[leagibert]

So excited for the upcoming video then ! I hope you'll have some interior scenes in there as well.

Nice video. Some things I really like about Lumion is the ease of use, letting you be more creative, preparing good (not best) results really fast which is a big plus if you're close to a deadline and also works with AMD GPUs as well. I really want to see it improve and I'm sure it will.

Great job on the fact that you use Sketch Up and not AutoCAD, i absolutely detest AutoCAD and it does not give the comparable result compared to Sketch Up. Lumion & V-Ray i endorse fully for both to me are key programs to crafting great renders and so much more, again on Sketch Up. x) Great work comrade.

[Alan-bfpu]

Putting the model in a box was a good idea!

[zallsindiestmerry]

I'm an architect, when i first time using vray is confusing, then i try lumion and i love it.

[art_cotto]

could you share the SketchUp model? I have been working with Lumion for so many years and I could tell you, You can get a result very darn close to Vray, with some adjustment on the lighting... just my two cents.. from a former 3ds Max with Vray. for over 15 years.. using Vray since the first version

[henriquelimaazevedo]

Nice comparison! I've trying to use Lumion on my workflow but sometimes it's a pain because Lumion animates the objects on viewport and everything gets laggy in big projects. I hope they improve it and turn the animations optional for a better experience.

[kayotic]

Have you not got the latest Vray?? Vray 5 has Vray - Vision which gives you the ability to use a realtime engine for setting up material, skydomes and lighting etc before the final render.

[tenosonicole]

Hey oliver! I’m wondering where you get the polygon type of entourage? I’m really interested in using it in my models :> great video btw!

[nedaajassaim]

i love this video ! i prefer using lumion because it's much more easier for me

[MsSakurayshaoran]

thank you for the video and the subtitles.
