I don't work for these guys, but can vouch for them. I have the artlantis render farm a go and found them both very professional and insanely quick. We use Artlantis and have the same issues - I can render out a test animation (2 minutes long, 320 x 120, no AA and normal radiosity) on my machine (I7 4790, 32gb ram, GTX970) in around an hour or so, but had the same issues when wanting to do a final quality animation. Has anyone used Lumion in conjunction wtih Archicad that has any feedback about it like how long rendering takes? or any other preferred software?ĭredging up an old thread here, but thought I might be able to offer a suggestion, especially as I'm a fellow kiwi. Ideally we are wanting something that is more realistic in terms of lightingĪnd also good more realistic tress cars people & objectsīut also something that takes a bit less time to render if possible. To give you an idea on scale and complexity of our projects

To produce a 1min 40sec single path movie animationĪnd up to 1hr to produce (15mins at best) a 4K Photorendered Perspectiveģ840x210 (200dpi) High-Antialiasing, Normal RadiosityĪttached is the latest renders I have completed on our last project However we could look at dropping that feature for breathtaking realistic movies.Ĭurrently Artlantis is taking 4days(on a single high spec machine) to render a 1280x720 with Low Anti-Aliasing (ideally we like to use high but dont due to time constraints) and Normal Radiosity (also as opposed to high) We currently use artlantis 4.1 to produce Photorenders + AnimationsĪs well as the VR object (not many programs allow the use of a VR) We came across Lumion 3D and thought it looked like a good option for us. We currently use the latest Archicad and we are using Artlantis studio 4.1īut arent impressed by the latest offerings from artlantis 5 of the upcoming 6 as rendering times appear to be even longer in each subsequant version

We are looking at upgrading to a new visualisation software for presentations of our mid-high end architectural projects Hello all, I work for a high profile architectural firm in NZ
