Minimum System Requirements

LumenRT is a 32 & 64 bits application, designed for the Windows® 32/64 bits XP, Vista and 7 as well as Intel Mac OS X platforms. A 64 bit system is highly recommended for authoring LiveCubes (32 bit systems are fine for playback). 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. Pre-processing times are directly related to the power of your system and the complexity of the scenes being processed. Because illumination is computed with the same quality whatever the size of the scene, the total surface area of your scene directly impacts pre-processing times (as well as the total number of polygons). You will experience slow performance if your scenes are over 4,000 m² (approximately 40,000 sqft) or 500K polygons.

LumenRT Review for SketchUp requires SketchUp 7 or 8 (free or Pro version).

Pre-processing machine

This is the machine on which you will export your scene from SketchUp. So basically it should be able to run SketchUp, but you'll need a lot of power to bake the scene in order that it doesn't take ages to compute.

• Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 32/64 or Mac OS X v10.6+ 32/64 (64 bit recommended)
• nVidia GeForce 8800 or newer or ATI Radeon 4000+ or newer video board, with at least 512MB VRAM
• 2GHz processor or faster (multi-core CPU recommended)
• 2GB of free RAM (4GB recommended)
• 4GB of free Hard Disk space.

Navigation/Viewing machine

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

• Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7 32/64 or Mac OS X v10.6+ 32/64
• nVidia GeForce 8800 or newer or ATI Radeon 4000+ or newer video board, with at least 512MB VRAM
• 2GHz processor or faster
• 1GB of free RAM (4GB recommended)
• 200MB of free Hard Disk space.
