Preface

Welcome to Lumion 3D Cookbook. Lumion is a real-time render engine, and is perfect for most users as it allows them to create their content quickly and easily; this allows architectural visualizations to meet and exceed the standards of quality with fewer resources.

With this book, we will deliver the best of what Lumion has to offer and how to use Lumion's intuitive and powerful tools for bringing your visions to life.

While reading this book, you will be taken through a wide variety of topics that will help you improve your workflow and your project's quality. You will start with some basic notions that will ensure that you start a project with the right foot; also, across the book, you will find recipes that will not only help you set up a solid and well-organized project, but also increase the quality and detail of the still image or movie that you'll produce.

This is a Cookbook; this means that you will have recipes that are straight to the point and cover what you need to do to achieve a specific goal. A recipe alone will not create an astonishing render, but the combination of several recipes will unlock the true potential of Lumion 3D Cookbook.
