Make your spaces come alive
With Lumion, you can transform any 3D model into an experience others can see and feel.
Easily add context, detail, and atmosphere to your visualizations.
With one-touch controls and a diverse content library of materials, objects, characters, and nature items, Lumion gives you all you need to breathe life into your designs.
The Best of Both Worlds
Lumion 2024 represents a complete foundational shift. With a redesigned render engine that blends both rasterization and ray tracing, you can now achieve greater realism in your renderings with even less effort.
Rendering isn’t just another step in the design process – it’s the moment your vision comes to life. Lumion 2024 was designed to keep you in your creative flow, so you can visualize the future exactly how you imagine it.
New high-quality materials
Lumion 2024 comes with 98 new materials that you can use to add realism to your buildings’ surfaces or landscape designs. These include
wood
stone
brick
asphalt
soil
concrete
plaster
grass
metal
On top of these additions, Lumion 2024 now has an improved glass material that lets you fine-tune every last detail of your project’s windows and other glass surfaces.
You can now add a custom texture like relief or frostiness and adjust the distortion to your liking. The new glass material is currently not compatible with ray tracing v0.9.
A Few Unique Features
Full PBR material workflow
In Lumion 2023, the quality of existing PBR (physically based rendering) materials is higher than ever. With the brand-new ray tracing effect enabled, the interaction between light and each surface results in ultra-realistic textures
Improved Scene Editor
Building your scene is one of the most creative parts of the rendering process. With a redesigned interface, Lumion’s scene editor prioritizes simplicity and ease of use. Arrange and rotate your assets with precision using the new gizmo and instantly align objects with the improved Auto Snap feature.
Aspect Ratios
Control the composition for your visualizations by rendering directly in your preferred aspect ratio. Choose from a range of formats, including square and vertical aspect ratios, and save time cropping your photos and videos post-render.
New Camera Paths
New camera paths
Create animations faster and easier than ever with new camera paths that give you greater control and smoother camera movements
High-speed, high-quality renders
Whether you have 7 hours or 7 minutes, it is refreshingly simple to create stunning images, videos, and 360 panoramas. From the first design evaluation to the big client presentation, Lumion’s fast rendering speed enables you to incorporate visualizations at any phase.
Work Anywhere With Your Team
Whether you model in SketchUp, Revit, 3ds Max, Rhino or many others, Lumion instantly breathes life into your designs. No training required, and after just 15 minutes, you can learn to create jaw-dropping images, videos and 360 panoramas with lightning fast speeds
Additional Features
Animated Phasing
Show the stage-by-stage process behind your design’s development or construction and not just at completion through the power of animation.
Orthographic Views
Not confined to perspectives now you can embed life, colour and texture into all of your model views to make orthographic plans, sections, elevations and more.
Live Sync
Lumion® is for designers who want a better way to work. In SketchUp®, Revit® or ArchiCAD® use Live Sync, to immediately set up a live, real-time visualization of your model.
Fine-detail Nature
Fine-detail Nature models are the most detail-rich, beautiful 3D trees, bushes, shrubs and more. These finely detailed natural models visually enrich the real-life atmosphere of your project.
Volumetric Fire
Cast a feeling of coziness and warmth to your interior and exterior renders with volumetric fire objects.
Massive Content Library
To create wonderful visuals you need beautiful skies, water, grass, materials, plants, people, trees and many other objects. Lumion includes a huge content library with tools, materials and artistic effects.
Make It Real
Visual clues that draw you into the design itself – from light flickering on the water to raindrops on a window pane to leaves blowing in the wind and falling on the ground!
Big Spaces
Effortlessly edit large areas and add tens of thousands of trees, plants or buildings. We’ve even had examples of a whole town visualized in Lumion!

Add realistic light, shadows, and reflections to your renderings at the touch of a button.
The new ray tracing effect in Lumion lets you control the number of samples and bounces, giving you more control over the final result.
With ray tracing switched on, your renderings will automatically show realistic indirect lighting, non-screen space reflections, contact shadows, and much more.
The scope of the new ray tracing effect will continue to be expanded and new additions will be easily made available thanks to the new software updater included in Lumion 2024.
