In-Depth Information
The People and animals library : Here, we have people from different ethnic
groups, 2D people, and animals. Please keep in mind that in this library, we
have five types of objects: idle, walking, static, 2D cutout, and silhouettes.
We will cover some of these objects in Chapter 9 , Animation Techniques .
The Outdoor library : Here, we have elements to populate exterior scenes
with objects found in a normal daily life. Some of them can actually add
interesting details to a scene making it look more believable.
These are the libraries that we will use to start populating the scene, but we still have
to point out some differences between them, because not every model is 3D and not
every model is static or idle. This knowledge helps us understand and make the
decision of choosing the model that is appropriate for your scene.
Idle, animated, and other 3D models
As mentioned earlier, there are different types of models available in Lumion.
We have 3D and 2D models and silhouettes, but the best way to comprehend the
difference is by placing them in your scene and seeing how they behave.
Let's start by clicking on the People and Animals button to activate this library, but
then we have to select the Change object button to open the library, as shown in the
following screenshot:
This button opens the library and we can start by selecting the Men-3D tab and
select the first 3D model called Man_African_0001_Idle . Select this model or any
3D model with the idle suffix, and we are back to the Build mode where we have
to click on the left mouse button to place the 3D model. Repeat the same step for:
Man_African_0001_Walk under the Men-3D tab
Any model from the People - 2D - High Detail tab
