Shortest path network analysis, pedestrian modelling and moving agents around complex city scenes has always been a specialised domain. As regular readers will know we have always taken the view that game engines are arguably better suited to agent based modelling – especially in terms of pedestrian and transport than more traditional packages.

Flying Cities is a concept animation by Stefan Haberkorn – it is one of the best uses of Lumion we have seen so far. It goes beyond the normal architectural visualisation and makes good use of landscaping and volumetric clouds.

Lumion is one of the best rapid visualisation systems out there for architectural style rendering. Its ease of use and ability to create scenes complete with advanced sky and lighting effects make it perfect for urban visualisation. With the release of version 3 we thought we would take the free version for a test run.
