Many designers create artistic and photo-realistic renderings of their designs using Vectorworks’ integrated rendering feature, Renderworks, while some designers also use the popular real-time rendering application, Lumion. To prioritize these varying needs, designers will enjoy a new live-sync rendering connection that allows them to perform real-time rendering while making design changes in Vectorworks software. In this webinar, attendees will examine how to easily manage design changes and quickly complete their work, while still providing superior presentations to their clients by using the new Lumion LiveSync plugin with Vectorworks.

Lumion and the LiveSync plug-in are available on the PC and for English language users on the Lumion website: https://lumion.com/.

Experience the power of this new live-sync rendering connection that allows you to perform real-time rendering while making design changes in Vectorworks. The LiveSync plug-in is developed by Lumion and is the first partner plug-in to use a new Vectorworks Graphics Sync (VGS) API, that provides live access to the Vectorworks 3D scene and enables third parties to connect the software to any 3D visualization engine imaginable. Lumion and the LiveSync plug-in are available on the PC and for English language users.
