Can we have Arial/ brds view rendering lighting lots of trees like forest

[@TheCourseArchitect]

Thank you! Can volumetric lighting be applied to emissive objects? for my strip lights for example, which is just a SketchUp model that is only lit up with the emissive settings in Lumion.

[@Lumion3D]

Hello! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the volumetric lighting feature cannot be added to emissive objects. It can be used only with the spotlight and omni light objects.

@@Lumion3D Thank you!

Please I have a quick problem, when I make a quick render with 1920x1080, my work looks fine, but when I select a higher resolution like 3840x2160, the final render is way darker than it should be , or compared to the 1920x1080, please how can I fix this ?? Anybody ?

Nice, but Important question! How to change the settings individually for each volumetric spotlight?

[@Lumion3D]

Hello, thanks for the question! You can change the spotlight settings via their properties, and then you can modify the settings of the volumetric spotlight effect to achieve the desired result.

[@mkarnowski]

@@Lumion3D Of course I am asking about independent volumetric spot light effects (Density, Intensity and Falloff) settings for different light sources. I know, there is no such possibility.
