Lumion Complete Workflow

Professional Visualisation Training

​

A two day intensive course designed for architects, landscape designers and garden designers who want to produce high quality visuals quickly and confidently.

Lumion is one of the most powerful tools available for communicating design ideas, but most practices only use a small part of its capability.

This course focuses on the real design workflow used in professional projects. The aim is not simply to teach software features, but to show how Lumion can become a practical part of the design process from concept through to final presentation.

The course is led by Marc Piechocki, Business Development Manager for Lumion at Media Logic and a practising landscape designer who has used Lumion on live residential projects for more than twelve years.

Participants will leave the course with a clear understanding of how to build scenes, control lighting and materials, and create professional images and animations that clients can instantly understand.
