Description
Note: The main difference in this course is that it's project-based and built around real-world renders. Every concept is taught through hands-on projects and professional tricks that come directly from practice, not theory.
- Do you want to create photorealistic daylight, night, and cloudy renders step by step?
- Do you know how to balance shadows, reflections, and color to achieve realism in Lumion?
- Do you want to learn the exact tricks professionals use for cinematic moods in architecture renders?
Lumion is one of the most powerful tools for architectural visualization, and in this course we'll go deep into lighting workflows. You'll learn how to set up scenes, control the atmosphere, and create realistic interior and exterior renders by mastering the full range of effects: daylight, night, alternative night moods, and cloudy skies. Every lesson builds toward professional, portfolio-ready results with clear explanations and test renders at each stage.
Headlines:
- Daylight Lighting with Real Sky, Skylight, Hyperlight, and Color Correction
- Night Lighting with warm lights, reflections, and cinematic moods
- Alternative Night Setups using Sun tricks, Lens Flare, and custom tones
- Cloudy Environments with fog, precipitation, and autumn effects
- Shadows & Exposure for depth, balance, and natural realism
- Analog Color Lab & Color Correction for stylized or realistic tones
- Reflections & Materials for glass, water, and wet surfaces
- Depth of Field & Handheld Camera for cinematic composition
- Test Render Workflow to refine every stage step by step
By the end of this course, you'll have the skills to create professional photorealistic renders in Lumion 1, 12, and beyond. Don't hesitate—ask me any question you want throughout the course.
