As all architects and interior designers know, the representation method in which the design is best expressed in interior design is rendering.

Scene 

In Lumion 12 and other versions, we always work on the scene before rendering. The fact that the scene works well with all the details will affect the quality of your render. We will explain in more detail the features that you need to work on the stage one by one. But it is essential that the scene has all the elements you want to show indoors. For example, if you are rendering a living room, the scene you will be working on in Lumion 12 should include the windows or openings, seating areas and lighting of the room.

Lighting

Here, the most important thing: lighting! The best display of elements, materials, atmosphere, in short, everything in an interior depends on light. All the details you work on in interior designs where the light is high quality will appear in their best form. By choosing warm-toned lighting lights, you can show the space in a more intimate atmosphere. Apart from artificial lighting, it will be very good to take natural light into the space with the sun effect.

Material

If we have worked on natural and artificial lights, then it’s time to show the furniture and all the other elements better. Material is a very important issue in architecture and the more realistic materials you work with in renders you will be more successful. Material settings in Lumion 12 are as important as choosing the right material.
