It would be great if you could make/automate the following steps:
1 - select several assets (people, trees, etc.)
2 - start placing them either a) randomly (could be checked in menu), or 2) in order (1st, 2nd, 3rd...)
this would ease a lot creation of crowds and greenery (forest, any "green" backgrounds", etc...),
3 - enable placing randomly, dense or loose (making them in a group?) over selected surface also, besides placing "one by one"...
...and...
more WALKING people!!!
most of them are standing or doing something WITHOUT moving... (moving legs, walking...). it is not easy to make simple "street"...
yes, pleeeease explain making of wet glass... so curious... 
curtain? yess, please share. and, I looove this pendant light! I use it often, simmilar ones... 
more diversity in people would be apprechiated, as:
1) "a leaning person", inclined (that can be places leaning on house or any object, wall, bench, car...)
2) "elderly people" - neither one exists. they would be appreciated for parks, houses, elderly housing especially, daily "senior centres", hotels, etc...)
3) "employed and guests" - few bar tenders, nurses, or such could be very useful. "newspapers seller", "baker", "restaurant waiter" especially...
4) arab people? coloured people?
5) baibes? in carriages...?!
4)"a person who lies" - lying on the bed, on bench, could be even placed on car...
yes. not only shiny and new(est) ones... good point (your observation)!
"peace, brother!"... would be a "happy end" of this conversation...
you have everything "too big", in USA. have you ever visited Europe? You wouldn't be asking such questions... Aaaand - everybody using "modern software" does not come from a "luxury environment"... the rest of the world is more "resource responsible"... or simply lives in a poorer environment. Mediterranean countries especially have MANY small cars... (Fiat Nissan, Renault... even VW beatle)
this does not have to be only based on FUR... Exaggerated BUMP (b/w map, coloured map) could be also an option! Why?
It can give a much better feel on "old building materials", like cracked brick wall, or similar. something like "Death star" from Star Wars...
I had a situation to make a part of "historical ruins"... and never found a good material for it. "making ruins, old cracked building elements or surfaces" is a question itself...
more small city cars... even some older ones.
we need more normal, ordinary cars... not only "show off" models...
As an old, experienced architecture modeller, designer and renderer - I believe that description "semi-automatic" for ENSCAPE 3D stands completely! and you render in your native "weapon"/program, as a plugin contribution... Using 10+ different renderers in the past - I found that certain simplification of Enscape Team is very fast and smooth, without quality compensation. it makes production of "final rendering" time FEW TIMES faster than other tools, enabling you to fill the model/scene with additional assets/detail as a contribution to "immediate viewer impression task"...
My vote(s) go for Enscape rather than Lumion!!!
...Sketchup first, if there is a way to vote...
you should check all your settings... I never saw such problem... yet, I might be wrong. it responds to "global illumination" question...
I understood that: Dark and LIGHT portions of map can be used as "Matte/shiny(reflective)" aspects of material. and, map can be inverted, too... that is common in all rendering programs...
... and, if you do not consider only extreme values (black/white) = you can play with shades of grey to achieve the most realistic effect... (am I wrong? I hope not...)
I believe that in their "asset info" - billboards could have "checked out" to affect itself in color and shadow. or it could be a "check point" for each asset (block/component)...
does current version support SU 2019, or when will it be released?
"Face me" components do not always, in every position, have proper contrast/exposure. I believe the problem lies in its "dual" nature - they turn towards sun (for shadows), and towards the spectator (for appearance). This results in "half good color appearance - half bad appearance of a subject in the scene.
..is this "a regular thing", or it comes up to my ATI RADEON (not NVIDIA) card issue?
or this "imperfectness" will be solved, by the time?
