BENTLY LUMENRT EXTENDED TRIAL SOFTWARE
Now, with new VR capabilities, the software looks set to become an even more compelling tool for AEC professionals. We first saw LumenRT last year, and were hugely impressed by its quality, performance and ease of use. According to Bentley, as everything within the model is ‘instanced’, the memory footprint has been reduced dramatically, helping keep 3D performance levels high, even with large models. Once inside VR, ‘BIM hotspots’ will allow users to view the underlying BIM data simply by hovering over an object and clicking.
The software can read in levels, layers, lights, animation paths and metadata. OpenBuildings Designer is multidisciplinary Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for building teams including tools for architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical systems design, energy analysis, construction documentation, and visualization of any type and scale of building. LumenRT doesn’t just bring across geometric data. Then, because the geometry is already optimised, moving into VR only takes a matter of seconds.įor distribution to clients and colleagues, projects can be packaged up as a ‘LiveCube’, a self-extracting executable. Bentley LumenRT Real-time visualization software Bentley LumenRT is a revolutionary real-time visualization software that brings your projects to life with cinematic quality images, videos, and real-time presentations of your infrastructure design models. Getting CAD data into LumenRT only takes minutes to process, even with big scenes. Bentley says the workflow from CAD to VR is simple. In addition to MicroStation, AECOsim, SITEOPS and other Bentley tools, the software works with Revit, ArchiCAD, CityEngine and SketchUp. This decision was based on two factors: First, the ability of its engine to scale from small buildings to giant infrastructure projects, above and below ground, and second, the fact that it already had built-in tools for generating realistic AEC-specific features such as cars with wheels that move and traffic flows that are real, thanks to direct interfaces to MicroStation Traffic and VISSIM.ĬAD users outside of Bentley’s customer base will benefit, too. Three years in development, Bentley explored a whole range of VR game engines, such as Unreal and Unity, but decided to adapt its own engine instead. This will deliver a fully immersive, interactive experience where users can freely explore LumenRT’s 3D worlds populated with moving vehicles, animated characters and wind-blown skies.
BENTLY LUMENRT EXTENDED TRIAL UPDATE
Things should get even more exciting next month when Bentley ships LumenRT Connect Edition Update 2, which will feature support for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
