I won a nice lumion3 license on an archviz contest but only have one computer and two hands.
So I sell my current pro 3 license for 2.300 EUR.

You save 700€ compared toy full buy.

If people are interested I also have a GTX 580 3GB and a Maxwell Render license for sale too because I upgraded to Titan setup and use GPU render only. Spring sale here hehe.

Just drop me a mail to [email protected] or PM.

I see you found the free section from Designconnected and model+model.

I also played around with Lumion3 and my scene but didn't render it again. For this kind of project 3.0 would have been very suiteable.
Large reflective surfaces, GI friendly interior and new effects.

I ordered two days ago and will get it saturday or monday. Also Germany. Just picked Gigabye because they are all the same and from Nvidia. I'm not addicted to a certain brand.

I think the overall presentation is nice but the solar panels look like a LED Wall for advertising.

In some GPU renderer you can choose which GPU to display and which to render. In Lumion it is not possible.

I think a lot of users don't even push Lumion with DX9 to the limit so they would not have a direct benefit from DX11. Just switching the API won't make the projects more pretty.

It may even secondary to a good bunch of users here if Lumion is DX9 or DX11 because they are architects and not artists with technical background and ability to squeeze everything out of the tool. If you look at the showcase section there are everytime the the same 10-15 users posting visual AAA quality.
Instead of just following some marketing stuff there would be other features which give more benefit to all users. Like vegetation painting, just to throw a random feature here in this thread. Or just any other from wishlist.

No because the UI is driven with card A in your system and not Card B.
When I do GPU rendering I have to switch to card B for rendering and use Card A to work on.

I really wish (yes I know wrong section here Morten) that Lumion 4 will utilize this a bit better with all the calculation intense features introduced in 3.0 or even use multi-gpu. if done well it could cut render times to the half. 

It's "Michael" not Mikael!

Very happy about the results and congratulation to the winner.

If we get a Lumion3D license then it will be 3.0 already since the contest runs for a while.

Or is it now free upgrade to v4 and v5? 

Time to celebrate a bit tonight!

Since it is a gaming card I guess Lumion will heavily benefit from it. You get 6GB memory which is a lot. For the NGG contest and train station project i used 2.9GB of the ram from my current two 580GTX cards.

I will order two of the Titans, mostly for my GPU rendering (Lumion can only use one), and give it a kick also in Lumion.

How does a 690 use Lumion by the way? Half the speed because there are two GPUs on it or threads Lumion the 690 as one card with 2GB ram?

Lumion is the same as a game engine (dx9).
So it doesn't use double precision or sp like if it would do a classical GPU renderer.

Just buy the fastest gaming card and it should work.

For this situation I would go with an emissive material to feed the flare effect with something maybe.
The area-light fall-off would be best to simulate with a good lightmap or place a point-light all 2m with a high-GI value and low fall-off.
But lightmap would be much faster for final movie I think and gives better light distribution.
I use Flatiron plugin to bake in 3dsmax. Works with any renderer and is a great plugin. 
 

Yes he saved my butt.
CLient wanted a driving guy at all costs. Normally I would have to change his clothes. Too bad it is not possible. But I'm happy that you shared! Thanks.

The first video is a special programmed tool (at least two different) by my freelancer which is touch sensitive.

The second video is one of the videos I made just playing on a Beamer the whole day there.
Tarmak ist a standard material in Lumion with some sliders adjusted. Very basic. It had to match the color the architect had in mind. 

Thanks for your comments. 

Here is the other larger video which shows the overall area:
