Apply alternative night lighting techniques for different moods using Sun, Hyperlight, Lens Flare, and Depth of Field

Design cloudy and overcast environments with fog, precipitation, and seasonal (autumn) color adjustments

Control shadows, reflections, and exposure for balanced and natural-looking results

Use advanced post-processing tools (Analog Color Lab, Bleach, Bloom, Gamma, Tint, Contrast, etc.)

Work with layers and object management for seasonal and scene-based adjustments

Enhance renders with Depth of Field, Handheld Camera, and focal length framing for professional composition

Produce over 30+ test and final renders across different lighting conditions to build your portfolio

Gain the skills to create high-quality architectural visualizations ready for clients and presentations

Requirements

A computer and lumion software

Description

Note: The main difference in this course is that it’s project-based and built around real-world renders. Every concept is taught through hands-on projects and professional tricks that come directly from practice, not theory.Do you want to create photorealistic daylight, night, and cloudy renders step by step?Do you know how to balance shadows, reflections, and color to achieve realism in Lumion?Do you want to learn the exact tricks professionals use for cinematic moods in architecture renders?Lumion is one of the most powerful tools for architectural visualization, and in this course we’ll go deep into lighting workflows. You’ll learn how to set up scenes, control the atmosphere, and create realistic interior and exterior renders by mastering the full range of effects: daylight, night, alternative night moods, and cloudy skies. Every lesson builds toward professional, portfolio-ready results with clear explanations and test renders at each stage.Headlines:Daylight Lighting with Real Sky, Skylight, Hyperlight, and Color CorrectionNight Lighting with warm lights, reflections, and cinematic moodsAlternative Night Setups using Sun tricks, Lens Flare, and custom tonesCloudy Environments with fog, precipitation, and autumn effectsShadows & Exposure for depth, balance, and natural realismAnalog Color Lab & Color Correction for stylized or realistic tonesReflections & Materials for glass, water, and wet surfacesDepth of Field & Handheld Camera for cinematic compositionTest Render Workflow to refine every stage step by stepBy the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to create professional photorealistic renders in Lumion 11, 12, and beyond.
