wwoody Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Okay this may be an out of the realm of user help. When I export a .dae over to Lumion my texture files aren't taking the normal map file over. It thought it might combine it with the texture file but it's not. In Chief I'm getting the look I want but I when I get to Lumion I'm loosing the pattern. I've tried different file type exports with no luck. I can create a texture pattern without the normal map but I loose the depth/shadows on the surface. I have successfully created a normal map and I'm getting the look I want. I'm loosing my texture. Is it because it's a dae...do I need to export a different file type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceEngstrom Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If I understand your question correctly- I haven't actually tried it myself, but I think you can just add the normal map back in to the texture once you're in Lumion. I don't know of any export file type that Chief does that would retain the normal maps when exported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont have Lumion open right now, but I believe you can create a normal map for the Chief texture in Lumion or choose a texture from Lum lib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwoody Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'll give it a go. We have a new texturing process that textures our timbers. I'm trying to integrate it into our models. This is what it looks like in real life and in Chief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwoody Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 I don't like having to add the normal map twice but I guess it's what I got to do. I'm making progress, I think i'll have to tweak the settings. The first image is a raw upload the second is me playing with settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plandoctor99 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I'm thinking about trying Lumion to enhance my renderings. A few months have passed since your post. I'd love to find out how it is going. You can reach out to me directly at plandoctor99@gmail.com. Thanks. Also, here is a link to a video that my daughter received from the architect that designed her home. It was done for a new project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp4T3j-eP-Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketballman Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Holy Cow, Batman, that's quite a house ... ! Here's one I did recently for a rather large home in Miami Beach; modeled in Chief X11; videoed in Lumion ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
