About the LumenRT course

LumenRT is real-time visualisation software from Bentley Systems. It turns design models of roads, bridges, rail corridors, buildings and campuses into living scenes with terrain, trees that move in the wind, people, traffic, sky and weather, and then exports them as still images, movies or interactive presentations. Infrastructure consultants, architecture firms and project teams use it to explain designs clearly to clients, authorities and the public.

This short 30-hour course takes you from a raw model to a finished presentation. You learn the interface and camera navigation, bring in models from Bentley applications, SketchUp, Revit and other tools, and organise them in a scene. You then edit materials, sculpt terrain, add roads and paving, and populate the environment with plants, characters, vehicles and street furniture. Lighting with sun position, sky, clouds, rain, fog and seasons follows, and the final sessions cover camera paths, keyframe animation and rendering of images and videos, ending with a road or campus presentation project. You work hands-on in a CADD centre classroom or in live online classes and receive a CADD Training Centre certificate that can be checked online.

LumenRT supports roles such as visualisation engineer, 3D visualiser and infrastructure presentation designer, and pairs well with MicroStation, OpenRoads or SketchUp skills.

You will be able to

  • Explain where LumenRT fits in architecture and infrastructure presentation
  • Bring models into LumenRT from Bentley, SketchUp, Revit and other design tools
  • Build landscape and context with terrain, plants, people and vehicles
  • Animate traffic, characters and objects with paths and keyframes
  • Control sun, sky, weather and seasons for realistic scenes
  • Render high-quality images, movies and shareable presentations

Who it is for

  • Civil and architecture students
  • Road, bridge and infrastructure design engineers who present projects
  • Users of MicroStation, OpenRoads, SketchUp or Revit
  • Visualisation artists working on public infrastructure projects

What you need

  • Basic 3D modeling knowledge in any design software
  • For live online classes: a Windows PC with a dedicated graphics card and 16 GB RAM
