Lumion 2024 just got released! Top Features You Should Try!

[Music] hey what's up guys Nuno here the new Lumin 24 just got released and it brings many new features from R Trace nature to translucent materials paralax Interiors to colored glass I will cover the best ones in today's video so without further Ado let's get started with number one r R nature this is a great one all nature assets are now working in rate racing to give an idea use the example far worth seen that has a lot of vegetation rendered in Lumi 23 you can see how the nature elements look flat without contrast and with no translucent materials now the same image rendered in Lumin 24 that's a big difference the nature elements are now being rendered as they should making the overall image much more convincing and [Music] immersive now let's see both images side by side for comparison on the left Lum 23 and on the right Lum 24 there's still one limitation though nature elements won't be affected by wind at this point when using rate racing effect but I'm sure they will add that in a future update next is improved realtime rate racing preview one of the main Fe things you'll notice when opening lumian 24 is the real time preview lumian implemented a new denoiser nvidia's realtime denoising that works quite well at denoising an image with a low sample count let me show you a comparison on the left is Lumin 23 with a noisy preview and on the right side is Lumin 24 with a clear picture the real-time preview is now very close to the final render another new thing is that when you click to preview the image now when you make changes to the color correction effect you don't need to keep clicking the window to preview you can see these changes happening in real time and again it will be very close to the final render next is fully retraced glass in architecture glass is a popular material you can use the new rrac glass Tuggle twins intricate glass objects let's have a look at an example with a new fully retraced glass I will just activate the option under the racing effect and now you can see how these glass jars and cups look if I disable the effect they look too dull and not realistic this is a big Improvement for glass materials you can control the color and strength of absorption in retraced glass materials with the absorption slider and with the emulated thickness slider you can Define how thick your glass objects are and next up is colored glass Shadows I've seen many people often times requesting this feature which is not possible with rracing both regular glass with retrac Reflections and the new fully retraced glass will Now cast colored Shadows just add some color to the glass material and when you render you'll be able to see the Shadows with the color you defined and next feature is translucent materials Lumin 24 also brings R Tred subsurface scattering that accurately displays the natural diffusion of light through surfaces and volumes this material is essential for leaves marble wax and curtains for example the best way to visualize this effect is by Shining Light into your hand and seeing how light is passing through your skin check some examples with and without the Sur surface scattering material [Music] you can see it plays a big role in having a realistic image and now you have a curtain with color this will also influence the room as you can see in this example to add this material simply increase the subsurface scattering material property the sliders controls the intensity while the Color Picker influen The Tint the object will have once the light passes through it and now as always if you want to take your renders to the next level I invite you to check my new Lumen render course dedicated to Lumen 23 and 24 I'll leave a link in the description below for you to check it out next up is Parallax Interiors Lumia Now features 25 pre-made Parallax interiors that have both day and night versions and also include controls for interior light these 25 parala Interiors cover offices residential spaces and Retail areas they are quite useful to fill in an interior space when you are working on an exterior because as you can see here when you move the camera there's this illusion that it has depth even though it's just a single plane making it quite lightweight in terms of performance and let me know in the comments below if you want me to make a dedicated video on this topic next feature is landscape tiling I'm really excited about this new feature this will apply a smooth seamless texture to your material eliminating any visible tiling and enhacing the realism of your sins and the best part is that it's not limited only to terrain textures you can use this in any material all you have to do is go to the material editor and then on the tying properties you will find a new Tuggle called enable landscape tiling just turn it on and you'll now have a repetition free Texture just have a look at this side by-side comparison makes a big difference right next feature is batch importing now you can import multiple files simultaneously when clicking the import model button just select all the files at once and then click open you can see here the models list and you can also add a prefix to place the models in a folder within the lumian documents this will for sure save a lot of time when importing multiple objects next is five times faster retracing rendering times lumian claims that the new version takes significantly fewer samples to produce higher quality results making it faster to render your scenes so for example what will take 512 samples in Lumen 23 now takes only 64 samples or even less in Lumen 24 this is especially noticeable in rendering video as you can see in this example next up is gltf file format a new file format is available for importing inside lumium 24 these models are are generally lighter than other file formats and support the PBR workflow to have a better idea here's exactly the same model but one is gltf and another fbx file format the fbx is 59 mbes while the gltf is only five kytes that's right five capab bytes that's a huge difference and can save a lot of space on your hard drive next feature is new user interface now everything is placed on the left side of the screen for EAS easy access and the new sidebar as the lumian welcome window the save build mode photo mode movie mode panorama mode settings and tutorials and support and that's not all now when you over the save icon it will display the buttons to save or save has so you can quickly access those and keep working next is new grid overlays now you have new grid G overlays to better help the image composition so you have the rule of Firsts grid golden ratio diagonal and triangle next upep is retracing presets now you'll find a new quality drop down in the retracing effect here you can quickly select from five new presets depending on the type of output you want fast is really just to have an idea of how your image looks and the extreme for final renders one note the custom one will keep always your latest changes next is new library content and as always with every new update there are more objects and materials added to the library you can find the new objects by just typing the search l24 in each content category there are new 100 F inail nature nine new objects 45 new people and animals and 155 new effects and many more there are also other improvements like the precipitation effect now works correctly with rate racing as well as the fog effect there's a larger thumbnail preview when you over any Library object it will Now display a large preview allowing to better visualize the model the library search tags have been improved and now allow for adding removing or replacing tags from any search query the material editor has also seen a change now the material categories have been moved under a single Tab and the icons received a complete redesign and there's also a new example scene called Museum Pavilion and eight new style effects from rate tracing and rization to conceptual representation these are some of the best features I selected to show you in this video you can check the full list on the Lumin website I'll leave a link below for you to check it out and let me know in the comments below what you think of these new features of Lumin 24 which one did you like most and if you found this video helpful don't forget to give it a like and I'll see you in the next one
