LUMION EFFECT STACKs (lme)...SAMPLE

This stacks are my personal setting according to my scene setup and orientation of sun and sky in every angle using different kind of effects, hope you can try it and if you want just check below and load directly to your lumion.
This process is easy in Lumion, nevertheless you can make it even faster by re-using previous effects. Lumion allows you to copy/paste individual effects and combinations of effects (called effect stacks) for use in different images or animations. You can do this by either copy-pasting in a single project or by saving and loading between one Lumion project and another. This helps save even more time in achieving high quality images, movie clips or 360 panoramas.

LUMION EFFECT STACKS (lme)_2

HINT : after render in lumion, open the render image with stack 2 lme in photoshop and overlay stack 1 lme with 20 percent opacity and check the difference.

Autocad to Coreldraw . . . Tips and Tricks

To import an AutoCAD Drawing Database file (DWG) or AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Format (DXF)
In CorelDraw - Click File  Import and Locate the folder in which the file is stored.
Choose DWG - AutoCAD (*.dwg) or DXF - AutoCAD (*.dxf) from the list box next to the File name box. - Click the filename and Click Import.
From the 3D projection list box in the Import AutoCAD file dialog box, choose a plane projection of a three-dimensional object as seen from a given focal point. If you want to reduce the number of nodes on the imported object, enable the Auto-reduce nodes check box.

In the Scaling area, enable one of the following options:
Automatic — scales the drawing using the scale of the AutoCAD source file
English (1 unit = 1 inch) — lets you scale the drawing in inches
Metric (1 unit = 1 mm) — lets you scale the drawing in millimeters
Click OK.

Versions of CorelDRAW (10, 11, 12, X3, X4...X8) directly support import of DWG files (in older AutoCAD formats). Due to the complexity of the DWG format this import might be unreliable - so convert your drawing data rather via the exchange formats DXF, WMF, EPS, or PLT (HPGL). All these formats can be exported from AutoCAD and reliably imported into CorelDRAW.
Similarly for backward conversions of .CDR into .DWG files, do not use the DWG export offered in CorelDRAW. It does not create official DWG-format files and such "forged" drawing files may cause problems during further processing. Again, use rather the AutoCAD text format - DXF, or WMF.

In the New version of Corel Draw you can copy and paste directly the dxf / dwg file format...by copy-paste you will get vectors in Corel. The linetype and thickness are preserved.

After you open the DXF file in Corel Draw click a line. If this will cause all the line to be selected press CTRL+U to ungroup them. Select all the lines and use the Outline Tool to change globaly the thickness to Hairline or to other value as you need.

Lumion movie effects file (*lme file format) . . . comparison test from build mode to render output.

Lumion movie effects file (*lme)

I made a comparison from build mode to render output or even in animation, and there's a lot of trial to achieve good illumination.

From custom settings I made a trial and error to achieve good illumination in build mode but when i set to render a scene its totally different, I adjust basically around using low and high temperature with high contrast, very low sun brightness, specific amount of shadow brightness, a combination of low exposure, full hyperlight, skylight bright and saturation. I think it is important also to put cloud and sky brightness to reflect in reflective materials and overall brightness under sky and clouds are important. Tweaking those parameters around in every project since every model size and orientation along with material sets is different. Even camera angle need to adjust to get what you need. Lumion 8 become quite sensitive with all those parameters that you can see only after you render.

I use this Standard Effects in every scene : 

SUN | SHADOW | EXPOSURE | REFLECTION | GLOBAL ILLUMINATION

Add some Style Effects if needed :

LENS FLARE | DEPTH OF FIELD | 2 POINT PERSPECTIVE | VOLUMETRIC LIGHT | BLOOM

ADJUSTED COLOR CORRECTION WITHOUT POST PROCESS

To elliminate post process by adding Process Effects :

COLOR CORRECTION | SHARPNESS | SELECTIVE SATURATION | ANALOG COLOR LAB | NOISE

try to compare my screengrab images and you can check my setting for still and animation...try it !!!
