The new MyLumion mode allows 360-degree panoramas to be exported, after which they can be viewed on any internet-enabled computer, mobile phone or tablet. The likewise new Viewport Editor also allows users to switch between different exported panoramas via preview images. MyLumion is currently still in beta. Projects rendered with Lumion 5.7 and the 5.7 Pro version will be stored until January 1. No further MyLumion projects can be created after November 2015. More information at MyLumion.com.
Other new features include Movie Mode, which has a “Mass Move Effect” that allows the direction of animated objects to be adjusted using the dual-toggle direction button and traffic to be directed in the opposite direction. It is also possible to determine which object categories should be affected by the Path Animation.
In Build Mode, users can see how much graphics-card memory is currently being used and how much space is still available.
The model library has also been expanded with a new Japanese flag as well as 15 new plant, flower and grass models; these are, however, available only in the Pro version.
All the new features in detail once again here in the overview.
The update to 5.7 is free for all Lumion 5 owners; MyLumion is available as a free service in version 5.7.
