You can, however, render 1000s frames in Thea and make a walkthrough video, though it will take some time (overnight maybe). You may be talking 1-2 minutes per frame (or more), as opposed to 0.03 to 2 seconds per frame for Lumion. You can’t do that with Vray because it renders frame by frame. This gives an excellent user experience for your customers and can be very immersive (especially with VR). Unbiased renderers like Lumion are actually so fast that they can allow you to “walk around” inside the rendered environment, completed with all shadows, lighting, and even animations being rendered in “real time”. The image outputs may look similar, but to an architect, industrial or interior designer they could be very important differences eg in the amount of light reaching a space. This means it utilises technical shortcuts for simulating lighting and material appearances. This realism comes at the expense of rendering speed, but is essential if your aim is to assess colour, light and materials in a realistic way. This means it has realistic lighting, reflections (ray traced), material and shadow properties. This question (and similar ones) seem to come up regularly on this forum. What other things should I be thinking about? I like that v-ray is integrated in SketchUp so if there are design changes I don’t need to re-upload a model and switch computers again. Time is a big limiting factor because I get busy quickly so I would like quick results that are still high quality (i read lumion is better overall for quick results) I use a newer MacBook pro for everything now but would purchase a desktop to run windows if i choose lumion (might be tricky to switch back and forth between the two) I mostly model pools, decks, pavilions, patios, landscapes for residential homes.Ĭost isn’t an issue as it will be an investment. I have been weighing the pros and cons of each and would like some help deciding before investing a lot of time. I plan to lear n a new rendering software but I’m having trouble deciding. I have experience with an older rendering software called Render back in college (seems a lot like v-ray) but i think its outdated now compared to v-ray or lumion. I work for a landscape design-build company and I have been using SketchUp for 10 years or so.
