Frequent question: Why does Lumion keep crashing when rendering?

Why is Lumion not rendering?

Freezes and crashes may occur if your Scene is ‘too complex’ and your hardware isn’t powerful enough and/or lacks available System Memory and Virtual Memory. ‘Too complex’ refers to the following variables: A: The number of different models you have added to the Scene.

How do I fix Lumion not responding?

Make the Lumion window smaller and/or reduce the resolution of your monitor (the fewer pixels it needs to render, the higher the framerate).

1. Set the Editor Resolution to a lower percentage than 100% on the Settings screen.
2. Set the Editor Quality to a lower star quality on the Settings screen.

Why is Lumion crashes when opening?

If Lumion crashes or displays an error while loading an . LS Project file, it usually means that the . LS Project file has been corrupted due to a save error. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover data from a corrupted .

How do I increase my Lumion render speed?

Go to the ‘Settings’ menu by pressing the ‘Settings’ button – shown in the picture below. By lowering the editor quality and/or resolution you will increase the speed of the editor, which means that you can more quickly fly around your Lumion scene.

How much RAM does Lumion need?

Does Lumion work on your current computer? Lumion requires a PC with a fast NVIDIA or AMD graphics card with at least 2GB memory. If your laptop PC has a slow graphics card with less memory, or, if it only has an Intel HD graphics card, then your laptop PC is unsuitable for Lumion.

How do I fix Lumion in my memory?

To me, the solution was to break down the model into smaller pieces and export/import thos pieces separately. If you make sure that the axis origin of these pieces is the same in SU, you can easily align them later in Lumion. Best would be to select a bunch of objects in SU and make them a component.

Why does Lumion run out of memory?

When working on complex Projects, Lumion may sometimes run out of Graphics Card Memory and System Memory (for example when importing a very large model). If that happens, it will start to use Virtual Memory. This memory type relies on free space on the harddisk.

Where is Lumion recovery file?

Lumion saves scene and imported model files to the My DocumentsLumion 4 folders. Those would be on C: drive as User files. 2. Not sure what you mean by “general files” but if you were able to save data files from that harddrive, then you may also be able to recover the files in My DocumentsLumion 4.

Does Lumion have AutoSave?

3.1: Lumion 7.5 and older: Lumion 7.5 automatically saves a copy of the current Scene (excluding Imported Models) when you load a new Scene. The Scene file is called AutoSave and is available in the Load Scene tab. However, the AutoSave file will be overwritten every time you load a new Scene.

Why is my Lumion black?

Make sure that your model is close to 0,0,0 in your 3D/CAD software before you import the model in Lumion. 1.2. If the problem persists, something on your PC is most likely preventing Lumion from saving the Imported Model files to Documents/Lumion (VERSION)/Library.

What files can Lumion open?

• FBX.
• DWG.
• DXF.
• 3DS.
• OBJ.

How do you run Lumion smoothly?

Make the Lumion window smaller and/or reduce the resolution of your monitor (the fewer pixels it needs to render, the higher the framerate is). Or, set the Editor Resolution to a lower percentage than 100% on the Settings screen. Set the Editor Quality to a lower star quality on the Settings screen.

How long does Lumion take to render?

An originally 15 hour render accelerated to render at X 5 will take 3hours to render in lumion for complex scenes. This will take 5 to 7 minutes to post process to a speed reduced to 25%. Most post processing apps.
