Creating a seashore


Lumion wouldn't be complete without an option to create an ocean. This is one of the best tools available in Lumion because literally in seconds you can create an amazing realistic ocean. Let's see how we can do that.

Getting ready

Make sure that you have a 3D model with good height; otherwise, your house will be under water.

How to do it…

  1. Select the Landscape menu.

  2. Click on the Ocean submenu.

  3. To create an ocean, click on the ocean on/off button and the menu shown in the following screenshot appears:

  4. Now, you have access to several settings to change the look of the ocean.

  5. You can create a calm and relaxing sea or change the sea so drastically that it will look like a storm.

  6. Use the Height value if you need to adjust the height of the sea; however, keep in mind that the ocean will cover the entire landscape, so you don't have control over the location of the ocean.
