LumenRT CONNECT Edition Update 15 (v16.15.74.04) with Content

What's new in LumenRT CONNECT Edition Update 15

Update 15 represents the biggest leap forward for LumenRT since its introduction.
The most significant new enhancement is the introduction of a LumenRTX mode for real-time ray tracing enabled by NVIDIA RTX hardware which enables you to produce stunningly realistic visualizations in real time.

In addition, new integration with SYNCHRO enables users to produce immersive 4D construction schedule animations.

There are also a few other really powerful enhancements that have been added, including:
- Area population tool - Draw any size and shape bounding box to populate with any object (i.e. people, cars, etc.)
- Traffic intersection - vehicles obey traffic signals at intersections
- iModel Hub integration - models can be accessed directly from iModel Hub

Real-time Ray tracing (RTX version)
How to bring up Ray-tracing Mode: To start DXR version, launch LumenRTX shortcut in windows start menu or start C:\Program Files\Bentley\Bentley LumenRT CONNECT Edition\LumenRT\LumenRTDX12.bat

Bentley's LumenRT software enables project teams to enliven design models with rich, fully animated environmental elements such as plants, people, water, and weather and then generate attention-grabbing, cinematic quality images and videos with ease. With the ability to import models from all the leading modeling and GIS formats and the ability to share interactive immersive 3D presentations with any stakeholders, LumenRT makes it easy to communicate design intent in a clear and compelling way.

LumenRT is a 64-bit application, designed for Windows 64 bits Win 7 Win 8.1, and Win 10 operating systems. As of LumenRT Connect Edition Update 1, Mac support has been suspended until Apple introduces higher performance real-time 3D graphics capabilities. LumenRT is either CPU or GPU intensive depending on the task being performed. The pre-processing phase is CPU intensive while the navigation/viewing process is GPU intensive.

Performance of the software is directly related to the power of the system running it. LumenRT is optimized to make the best of all the processors/cores on your system. The power of your video board directly impacts the frame-rate during real-time 3D play-back

Supported LumenRT Export Plugin Applications

- Autodesk Revit Version 2012 or later
- Bentley MicroStation SS3 including all Bentley MicroStation-based apps (e.g. AECOsim)
- Bentley MicroStation Connect including all Bentley MicroStation Connect-edition apps (e.g. OpenRoads Designer)
- Esri CityEngine 2014 or later
- Graphisoft ArchiCAD version 17 or later

Processing/Authoring Platform Requirements

This is the machine on which you will author scenes and animations inside the LumenRT LiveCube.

- Windows Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 : Must be 64-bit based OS platforms
- When authoring LumenRT LiveCubes, we recommend a graphics a graphics card containing at least 4 GB of VRAM with a 3D Mark FireStrike score of 10,000 or better
- 2GHz Intel processor or faster (multi-core CPU recommended)
- 4GB of free RAM (16GB recommended)
- 12GB of free Hard Disk space.

Navigation/Viewing Platform Requirements

This is the machine on which you or your client will navigate and explore published LumenRT LiveCubes. The more complex your model is, the more graphic power it will require:

- Windows Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 : Must be 64-bit based OS platforms
- When running published LumenRT LiveCubes, we recommend a graphics card containing at least 2 GB of VRAM with a 3D Mark FireStrike score of 5,000 or better
- 2GHz Intel processor or faster
- 2GB of free RAM (4GB recommended)
- 2GB of free Hard Disk space.
