Lumion Library Objects:

  • Enhanced Search: you can now also type in the word "new" (no quotation marks) to search and show in the Library all new objects for the current version for a Category, similar to using the "L12" Tag.  
  • Indoor Category -> Barrel 010 is again in the Library. 

  • Decals and Character Billboards that are saved as a Group can now be Loaded and Placed correctly in a Scene. 

  • Amended which Collection some objects are in, to better suit the type of model.  
  • SpeedTree Objects: The orientation for these objects is now correct for Scenes saved with Lumion 8.X or older.  
  • Transport Objects:  Turning the Lights slider to On for some Objects no longer affects the Emissiveness of other surfaces. (Bus 001, Bus 002, Coach 001, Bicycle HD 003 Parked)  
  • Transport Objects: these vehicles no longer have the Color option because they are texture-based and cannot have their color changed. (SchoolBus US 001, HotAirBallon 004). 

Imported Models Library:

  • Imported Models now display correctly in the Imported Models Library and in a Project already using that model when the 'Documents' folder was relocated to a server with UNC pathing.  
  • Imported Models Library: The names of folders no longer overlap when there are subfolders.  
  • Import Model -> the Import Animations button is now set by default to Off.  

Groups:

  • Groups can now be loaded and placed in Lumion 12 Standard (Normal).

Effects:

  • Animated Phasing Effect: It is again possible to switch pages once you have added a 6th page.  

 

Save, load, and recovery functions

  • Windows File Explorer:  double-clicking on a file will now start Lumion 12 if not already open and load the Project. 

 

From the Team:

Enjoy learning and using Lumion 12 (12.0.1.)
