Build your own environment
Architectural visualization comes alive
The scene creation tools in Lumion® take full
advantage of a GPU-based 3D interface which lets you see changes in
real-time.
The 3D rendering performance is highly optimized so that you can import 3D
models with millions of polygons with ease.
Terrain creation is straightforward with the 28 built-in landscape presets,
6 water types and a customizable ocean.
Daylight, sun, sky and clouds are easily adjustable and can be animated for
sun studies.
Material Library

looking materials
Thanks to the huge material library of 3D models
in Lumion® it takes just moments to really make your design shine.
There are 509 built-in high-quality materials such as wooden floors and
brick walls as well as 9 custom material types.
Rich Content Library
3D objects and moving 3D animations
Bringing your visualization to life is child’s
play with the hundreds of entourage models in the model library.
For example trees that sway in the wind, moving cars, animated people,
buildings, street furniture and much more.

render a video that you can watch on any PC or Mac.
Or upload it straight to YouTube, so your client can see how awesome
your design is.
