If you have any questions, ask me in the comments below the video.

Hey! What’s up guys! What do you think of making this scene in just about 50 minutes? Today I’ll talk about a plug-in that allows you with just one click export all your 3ds Max scene with all the textures already applied inside Lumion. The plugin is called Lime Exporter. I’ll jump over to my computer and show you how we can do it!

So, now here’s the scene in 3ds Max. I’m going to delete some things I don't need for Lumion.
Now, I’ll go here to LM Exporter, and select the WHOLE SCENE.
I'll select the folder I want to be exported. And now I’ll choose which name I want for my file. Press OK and it will start exporting. Usually, this process takes a couple of minutes, depending on the size of your scene.

DONE! you see it just took 23 seconds to export this scene with all the maps!

Now in Lumion, we still select this Plain template. Now I’ll head over to import the new model, I'll select LIME EXPORTER in my groups and click Ok.
Notice this might take some time to import since it’s only one FBX file with all this information.

Ok, so now here I’m just trying to get the best position for my scene. The first thing I’ll do is to go to my render and define my camera. Why is this important you ask? Because this way I know exactly the area I have to work on according to the shot I'm going to take.

I’ll add first a 2-point perspective effect so my lines are straight. I’ll save the camera position by clicking here.

Now since I want this scene to be done fast, I’ll select a Lumion template, I can choose this Realistic one.
Now I’ll just start customizing these effects a bit.

Now I’ll add Real Skies. I’ll select a Clear… this one.

I’m just adjusting the position so the sun is in front of the building so one side is lit and the other in shadow.

I’ll edit the Depth of Field effect so the building is in focus, but the background is not.

Exposure… increase a bit.
Sharpen. About 1 is ok.

Color Correction, I’ll just decrease the temperature, increase the vibrance, And increase the contrast.

Reflection is fine for now. Hyperlight as well. Skylight I’ll increase the brightness, activate this 2 and leave it high.

The Shadow Effect. Here I’m just adjusting the parameters a bit, to have more coloring and less shadow brightness.

Chromatic Aberrations, just adjust a bit.
I’ll add just a bit of the Precipitation effect. I’ll add some Fog as well.
Let’s add some volumetric light, so we can have SunBeams coming from the left side. It’s a cool effect when you have some dust particles in the air. So I’m just adjusting the effect here.

By the way, I’ve launched my Lumion Render Course, it’s an in-depth course where I teach you everything you need to know on how to create realistic high-quality images with Lumion. The course is packed with great bonuses, including some of my most popular Lumion Scenes that you can get for free when joining the course! I’ll leave a link in the description below this video!

Let's go back to our Build Mode. This script imports all the textures with the FBX file, so I’ll just adjust them a bit. Here I’m just adding glass material, and adjusting some parameters of the textures.
For the grass, I’ll just select a 3d Grass from Lumion library and leave it with default settings.

On this last one, I’ll add a Nature 2D grass so it doesn't take so much time in the render.

Now, inside the building, I’ll just add some area lights to give some ambiance to the interior.

I’ll start adding some vegetation elements to make the scene more interesting and natural. Here I’ll just select the Mass Placement tool and a couple of trees to block my horizon view.
I’ll continue adding some vegetation to my terrain.

This is done using Lumion rendering software for architectural visualization. It’s a great 3D render software that saves a ton of time for architects because it helps you achieve the level of detail and realism not available in any other similar software.

Lumion is fully compatible with most 3D modeling software, including Revit, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, 3ds Max, Rhino, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, and many others.
