Olav Bruin

For us, Lumion is the perfect concept design tool, especially when a visual presentation for a client is due.
Philip Bartman
Senior Associate, SAOTA
As passionate designers, it is important to enjoy the process of developing and conceptualizing projects. It's also important that we have fun while doing it.
Lumion allows us to do exactly that.
Matt Zhang
Director of Design & Development, The Luxe Design Studios
When clients see a fly-through video with every detail, all the lighting, all the materials — it really gives them a realistic view of what their project could be. And I think that is what brings a sparkle to their eye.

All you need to know about Lumion Subscriptions
As a 3D rendering software, Lumion requires an up-to-date Windows 10 64-bit or newer computer with a fast graphics card, ample memory, and stable internet connection.
Please make sure to check our system requirements to ensure you have the best possible experience. We've also put together a few hardware guides you might find helpful:

Lumion is compatible with all major CAD and 3D modeling software. Here's a complete overview.
Plus, with the free Lumion LiveSync plug-in, you can also create a real-time connection with your favorite CAD software that allows you to model and render at the same time and drive faster design decisions. This means that whenever you make changes to your 3D model, they will seamlessly be reflected in Lumion.
