Hey, what is up, nation?
In this session I'm gonna be teaching you how to live
sink your Sketchup models with lumion.
All right, so I've come into Sketchup and I'm going in a 3D warehouse. And I've
imported this model here. And I've also...you can see a link to the description in
the below to this model because I want to give the original creator credit. And
then I've also installed this plug-in called "Lumion LiveSync". So you can search
the extension warehouse for Lumion LiveSync. And i'll also have a
description down below, But it's probably easier to just type that in. So once you
have that installed, and then you also need to purchase or have a trial
version of Lumion, so I have that here. So I'm gonna go to...you pick basically like
default to start with, a default landscape. I tend to use the mountain
range, because it puts something in the background. That's nice, but gives you sort
like this plane to work with. So I'm gonna stick with this. And then what you
need to do is...this is unsaved currently. So I need to save it. I know we get a
prompt if you don't do this, so we're gonna call this a "Persian City". I think
that's something to the effect of what it's called. And then you just come up to
super simple. You just come up here and you just click "Start live sync". Now
what's gonna happen in lumion, is that it will eventually import, I think, yeah. You
can see it's freezing right now. Good. It's importing, and it's in here.
So, you can see right now. I'm having an issue with the grass. Well, you can see
the grass is conflicting with that. So if I open Sketchup and normally don't see
this in the videos that I've done, because I have a separate window and I
only record one window. So in this you get to see me switching between the two.
So I'm just gonna select this, this is not modeled nicely. That should have been
a group. Okay, I did that, I delete that. Hit ctrl+s to save, because I'm on a PC. And
you can see that that is gone. So you can see my Persian City. And it just looks
just without doing any rendering. Just how much better it looks. And Lumion and
just...look at a contrast there. You can also do it. There's these two buttons
here. This is to stop sinking. You can also stop your camera synchronization. So
that the camera itself. If I model this on the other window, it'll essentially
keep the view from Sketchup in lumion, which is fine if you're modeling
something. But I've actually noticed in a previous video, and from for me doing
this at like Clips a lot of stuff in the Lumion, when you do that. So just a
really simple tutorial because everybody's been asking a lot of
questions of "how am i doing, what I'm doing", and it's been confusing. Because I
you're seeing everything in lumion because it looks nicer. And it's fast. But
I don't know how much people can learn from Sketchup when it's all sped up, but
I'm doing a speed model. But maybe I'll just do everything in the same window, or
I'm not sure what I'll doing in the future. But let me know in the
comments below if you guys have any suggestions. Um, I think it's fun to see
this because it looks so pretty. But maybe it's more helpful to have
Sketchup. So you can see what I'm modeling. So let me know in the comments
below. If you thought this was helpful, if add some clarity because you guys are
confused. Don't forget to like, subscribe and share this video with your friends!
