But Vray is more i’ve seen quite amount of industrial designers, motion picture studios, CGI artists using it.

If you look at their websites/mottos, also Lumion and Vray showcase sections, we can easily say that their target audience is architectural firms. On the other hand Vray only has materials library and might be overwhelming because of the hard learning curve (but it got a lot better with new versions) but render results will be ‘better’ and more advanced for post processing (Lumion has no. Vray is for architects & designers to make their work desirably good (realistic or cartoony).Īs far as i read/watched/observed, Lumion’s prominent feature is being quite faster (especially exteriors) and having a huge library of objects, materials, sounds & effects ready to use (which makes it too expensive i think). Lumion is for architects and to make their workflow faster (with fast renders and ready-made library). It highly depends on for what purpose you’re going to use it. If I wanted to explore the model during a design review with an associate or partner, Enscape.Īlso, Enscape costs about 1/3 as much as Lumion and has much lighter system requirements (we have a 2080 gtx in our lumion machine and get <10 fps once scenes are entouraged)Įdit: if you want place settings and food on the tables in your restaurant renderings, and a smooth decal workflow for signage, etc., go for Lumion.I haven’t used Lumion but i know Vray well enough. If I had 2 days to put together a client presentation, Lumion no question. All our landscape consultants seem to be standardizing on Lumion, so that's a factor too if you collaborate with other firms. (The live link to Revit is better than Enscape's however). Lumion has a much higher ceiling on the visual quality, and lets you bring in multiple models to the same real-time environment, but requires some effort to get a model ready.

It has some limited entourage and animation path capabilities, and you have some control over the look, but it relied completely on your Revit model for lighting information, which kneecaps the visual quality pretty hard.

We use both at my firm (where I run visualization).Įnscape is fantastic as a 1-button-to-realtime tool for design reviews of Revit models.
