Bringing people to life
Lumion presents us with the opportunity to boost architectural visualizations by introducing animated people. We can bring a walk-through to a professional level by using animated people walking around buildings and other elements in our project. Going from point A to point B in a straight line is easy and it can be done using the Move effect, but things start to get complicated when we need to animate a person on a more complex path. Let's see how we can create more complex animations using Lumion.
Getting ready
Before we start, it is good to remember that there is a difference between an animated person and a person involved in a walk cycle. The first type is an idle element, but with a loop animation. The second type of person is the one we need for this recipe, and as soon as we place them in the scene, they start walking without actually moving. This is why we need to use the Advanced move effect.
