Has anyone tried to render DAZ3D models in Lumion?

  • is this a collapse UV UDIM issue perhaps?

    Which case are you talking  about?

    Your question was :

    Some cloth seems to work well.
    I tested with another model.

    But  how about the eyelashes?

     

    My answer was to convert this graphic to an alpha texture.

    It seems that Lumion 12 has this option NEW, keep in mind that we are working with Lumion 10 Pro,

    Lumion 10 Pro also cannot display double sided shaders, but there are ways to do this.

    For people who work with Lumion 10.

    Lumion 10 Pro and double sided shader.

    this

     

    you may need to tick or untick collapse UV in your obj export depending on whether or not Lumin supports UDIM

    I don't have Lumin so cannot tell you

    I don't think there's any more answer, he seems to be busy with Lumion. cheekywink

    Well, after make some test, I give up on lumion currently.
    For one reason. I tried to import two genesis with cloths, hair, etc at once. It tooks a long time to get it in.
    No matter how fast the render is, if the import process also takes time, the time cost would be just the same.
    This is somthing I'm afraid of since the beginning.

    Anw @wendy I haven't tried your hypotesis.

    My solution for now to cut the time cost is to reduce the iray render quality and use denoiser.

    We create the DAZ figures in groups, these can be imported more quickly.
    And if iray takes minutes for one image and Lumion 5 seconds, calculate what time they need for 50 images.
    Also consider how it will look with animations.
    Here iray would need hours.

    Remember:
    More Tris does not mean a better result of the models!
    Good textures are the key here.

     

    But surely the hardware plays a decisive factor here.
    Using Lumion only for DAZ without building it yourself is not profitable at a price of over 3,500 EUR.
    It is better to use Twinmotion, which also achieves very good results.

    Rendering time per image below 7 seconds.

    This is with minimal settings of the graphics card.

    Hemmm..... schoene renders.

  • JamesJames Posts: 1,028

    I wonder does the speed of importing determine by the speed of cpu or the speed harddrive....

    We can't tell you that, but it will certainly play a role. A fast SSD and a fast GPU with at least 10 GB graphics memory and more should be standard.
    We have also noticed that different DAZ models take different amounts of time to import. But all this is quite fast. We don't want to advertise Lumion, but its strengths are the workflow. It's all very simple and well thought out. It's fun like a game.

    When they have been working with us for 6 months, they don't want anything else.

    What do you benchmark ?

  • JamesJames Posts: 1,028
    edited December 2022

    I think 58% benchmark score. .All are above minimum. Some are over the recommendation. Others almost reach recommendation. I forgot which compenent.

    When you said "But all this is quite fast."
    How long?

    Because a couple days ago I imported 2 genesis, 8 and 8.1. With cloths, hairs.
    I denke es war 15 minuten.

    OK, that's really a bit low.
    Maybe there will be a new PC under the Christmas tree. wink

    Naaa... I can guarantee no new pc under the christmas tree. Don't even have the Baum. :D

    I have RTX 3060.

    @ Don't even have the Baum. :D

    That makes two of us.

    Well, that also has an advantage, you don't have to decorate it.zwinker

     

    And they look their best outside
