I love how normal and displace give more realism... the point is: as I aways wanna put them strong, I also need to see a reference to make sure that Im not "over". Thanks for the tips!
in my lumion 10.0.1 pro i can not add displacement because the material had just two channal diffuse and normal > in your video i show three channal in lumion which version do you use thank you >>>>>
Hello Nuno. I did exactly the same as the tutorial but maps doesn't match correctly, also when I scale them, it scales the albedo map only and it looks weird. Do yo know how to fix this? I think this issue is coming from Sketchup, but I am not really sure...
Hi Nuno, can you please let me know when I download free material from poliigon, it doesn't have a displacement map in it, Please suggest how to proceed further in that case.
I have an older version of lumion but I don’t need displacement ... I have one issue though, when I follow the steps and put the gloss map in the alpha Chanel and save it as targa in 32 bit as you did I still have a very reflective material!
You can always manually adjust the sliders in Lumion until it looks "right", but it won't be as accurate as if you had a Gloss Map. Next week I'll post a new tutorial on how you can make your own maps from scratch. :)
@@NunoSilva3d is that means there must be a accurate sliders' number,the only thing i need to do is as much as possibile to get close to it？and it wound be the same result?
Thx for this tutorial. 1 question : I saw some videos were people's put the AO into the Albedo, and others put the roughness into the Albedo. Can you explain me in wich case i have to use the AO or the roughness ?
Hi Nicolas! The AO is to give some contact shadows in the Albedo. If you get a diffuse map, don't do this, because usually they already come with contact shadows. In Lumion you can either use Gloss or Roughness map. They are the same texture, just inverted. If you use Gloss, put on the alpha channel of the Normal map. If you use Roughness, put on the alpha channel of the Albedo. :)
When will we be able to see tutorials or an unreal engine 4 course on your channel. I have long wanted to learn how to use this program to create environments for my architectural projects. Greetings nuno!
Hi! You should only use one. Gloss and Roughness are the same map, just inverted. Some apps take the gloss, others the roughness. In case of Lumion if you find just the Roughness for example, you can invert it and still apply it on the alpha channel of the normal map.
Hi Nuno, thanks for the tutorial. I have a problem with Displacement map. When i load Displacement map in 8K, Lumion crashes.. why? The map in 4k works but it has low quality..Can you help me?
Very helpful one Nuno , I just have one confusion as why would you want to add specular as an alpha on the normal file ? Is it save memory ? As in suppose if we to add it seperately would there be a difference ?
Hello ! Sorry I'm French and I don't understand, where do you find your texture? What site? And what is the site at the very beginning please sir? Congratulations, it's very good
Excelente vídeo! Muito obrigado por publicá-lo! Aproveitando, como posso criar materiais com esse nível de qualidade a partir de texturas disponibilizadas por uma marca específica, por exemplo, Ceusa, que só disponibiliza a diffuse. Tenho dúvidas sobre como gerar o rejunte e como fazer com que o material se comporte melhor. Obrigado desde já se puder me ajudar.
Obrigado! Ve este video: ua-cam.com/video/KpYJkB7gAXs/v-deo.html explica o processo de como criar texturas a partir das tuas fotos ou de texturas como essas, só diffuse.
Lumion 10.3. Just previous versions don't have displacement maps (Lumion 10.0 has Displacement maps that ship with the product, but you cannot add your own).
Nuno Silva hi, noticed one change in this version of 10.3 as against the 10 tutorial u had explained before This time u totally skipped using the roughness texture map which u used to put in albeido alpha channel. So is it that due to the new displacement.. The roughness is not useful anymore?
Already replied on Facebook group, but I'll leave it here as well :) that part was not clear from my part and I cannot add notes to UA-cam video anymore - you can either use the Roughness in the Alpha Channel of the Albedo or use the Gloss in the Alpha Channel of the Normal map. Roughness and Gloss map are the same map, just inverted. It's just that some Software uses one, and another uses the other. :) But just use one. Either Gloss or Roughness.
Nuno, não consigo fazer o download do displacement map no Bridge! Faz o download de todos os maps excepto esse. Consegues-me ajudar ou é problema do próprio software? Ps: Excelente tutorial. Mto Obrigado ;)
Aquestion i am putting some material maps from online 8k resolution but when i put it on a box and raise the displacement map value the box polygons go away from each other? Any body have advice that could help me?
hello bro, how to make in a single object with different texture maps, for example, in 3Ds max one element with different ID and assign multi sub-object material with colour variation.
Greetings, you have mentioned one has to invert a normal Poliigon map before using it within Lumion. Does a gloss map be inverted as well whilst using it with a normal map for Lumion use?
Hey, very cool tutorial, i am using the student version, is it possible to have a color texture and an alpha texture which boosts emissions in one material? I am building a skyscraper and i did not model all the windows but i have them as a texture but i dont want the skyscraper to have a color texture besides the alpha map, not all black you know?
Do you have any questions about Lumion materials?
When is your next lumion material video tutorial coming out?
@@redoctaves1228 next week another tutorial related to Lumion.
Hi sir Nuno one question does this work with lumion 9?
@@christiantolentino2592 I don't think so my friend. Even it's not working on Lumion 10. You should have Lumion 10.3 to do it.
hello bro, what version of your lumion
your tutorials are so perfectly done. so clear and precise! thanks a lot!!!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Colour me mind-blown. I'm really glad my noobness helped me find your channel. Now I can finally get PBR in Lumion 🍻
That's awesome! 👍
I really liked this software up to the point I realized that it just has more elaborate and detailed process for bump mapping...
I love how normal and displace give more realism... the point is: as I aways wanna put them strong, I also need to see a reference to make sure that Im not "over". Thanks for the tips!
You don't need to! :) If you use the correct materials from Poliigon for example, they are already well calibrated.
@@NunoSilva3d oh! I got it!
@@NunoSilva3d when i downloaded free material from poliigon, none of them came with displacement maps
thank you for all about lumion instruction, it will help lumion beginners.

Thank you for your kind feedback!
Very Useful! Thanks Nuno Silva
Glad it was helpful!
This is great tutorial. Thanks.
You're welcome! :)
Damn, this is super cool and useful. Thanks a lot!!!
Glad it's helpful! :)
hi Nuno, can you explain me why did you invert the normal map green channel, and how did you do it?
Yes, because if you don't you will have incorrect lighting on the texture. Like the wrong shadow placement.
in my lumion 10.0.1 pro i can not add displacement because the material had just two channal diffuse and normal >
in your video i show three channal in lumion
which version do you use
thank you >>>>>
You need to have Lumion 10.3 to use Custom Displacement. But note that the workflow is the same, without the Displacement.
@@NunoSilva3d thank you
Great video. Thank you. Do you have video how to make the grass?

Why did you inverted green channel for rough plaster material and not for the wood planks one???
Awesome tutorial.

Which one are you downloading that doesn't have Displacement? Can you paste here the link?
Waw waw waw
What is that
Amazing 🤩
Many thx sir god bless you
Nuno, may i ask why you didn't use the roughness inside the albedo as previous tutorials??
You can either use Roughness on the Albedo or Gloss on the Normal map. Just use one of these options.
@@NunoSilva3d i've been using both since i saw in your leather tutorial. One eliminate the other?
thank you for the amazing tutorials
I have an older version of lumion but I don’t need displacement ... I have one issue though, when I follow the steps and put the gloss map in the alpha Chanel and save it as targa in 32 bit as you did I still have a very reflective material!
Open the targa file again in Photoshop and confirm it has the alpha applied correctly.

pertaining to the gloss map
is white the reflective part?
and black is the part that does not reflect?
Thank you - very clear and concise.
Hello, my graduation project, the glass factory. What do you advise me to use from its raw materials in the final output?
I want to use something that has a shine to it
does this displacements affects corners? doesn't seems so, still just regular box corner. how to make this on let say old brick or stone building etc?
Not yet. This is more of a Parallax effect. You would have to do some editing in post to have that effect.
Nuno I have a problem.what if i dont have gloss map, is there any way to make the material right？（albedo/normal/roughness/dis/except gloss）
You can always manually adjust the sliders in Lumion until it looks "right", but it won't be as accurate as if you had a Gloss Map. Next week I'll post a new tutorial on how you can make your own maps from scratch. :)

Hi Nuno, really appreciated your VDO, it's very usefull for people.
I have some questions,
In LUMION 11 there are 3 slots to in put Material's Maps
1. Diffuse/Albedo
2. Normal Map.
3. Displacement Map.
But as we've already realized that there are more another usefull Maps when we generate or download from Website.
My questions are :
1. Which kind of Map must be blended into Chanel Layers by Photoshop Into ALBEDO/DIFFUSER MAPS???
and...
2.Which kind of Map must be blended into Chanels Layer by Photoshop Into NORMAL MAPS???
And what is the principle to decide that?
Thank you in advance for your kind inFormation.
I want to know the same! Did you get the answer??
Great tutorial 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏

Hello. Nice tutorial. Could you tell or show, how to do Alpha Channel trick in Affinity Photo?
Sorry, but I'm not using Affinity Photo, but I'm sure there's a lot of information even here on UA-cam on how to do that! :)
When will we be able to see tutorials or an unreal engine 4 course on your channel. I have long wanted to learn how to use this program to create environments for my architectural projects. Greetings nuno!
I worked with Unreal Engine 4 before, but the process is not as easy and fast as Lumion. There is a big learning curve. :)
I love your tutorial.
now i am in a good mood
How comes you have tree lots for placement of material textures (color, displacement and normal map) I have only normal and color...
You need to have Lumion 10.3 or higher.
Thank you, it works perfect!
Hi, Nuno!
What I should do when I have both maps: Gloss and Reflection?
Hi! You should only use one. Gloss and Roughness are the same map, just inverted. Some apps take the gloss, others the roughness. In case of Lumion if you find just the Roughness for example, you can invert it and still apply it on the alpha channel of the normal map.

Yes, you can use a mask for Emissive, so this way the white areas will be lit and the dark areas will not.
