Capture nature’s nuances
Grass is one of the most common elements in nearly any scene. When portrayed accurately, it can transform a rendering from a static image into an immersive environment, giving outdoor areas a natural, organic feel.
By capturing the intricate details of grass – such as color tones, shadows, and levels of translucency – you can ensure that your greenery behaves just as it would in the real world.
This release brings you ray-traced landscape grass, so you can fill your scenes with the most convincing natural elements. With the right lighting, ray-traced grass will reveal subtle highlights, display soft shadows, and appear in reflections, helping your design resonate on a deeper emotional level with your client.
Reflecting reality
Strengthen your design’s connection to nature. With ray tracing enabled, landscape grass will be vividly mirrored in windows and other glass surfaces. These natural, subtle details instantly elevate the believability of a render, allowing viewers to fully immerse themselves in the scene.

Present with clarity
No project is complete without diagrams that effectively communicate your concept. An impactful way to achieve this? Remove the surrounding context and direct all the focus to your design. By eliminating distractions, you can more clearly highlight the project's massing, materials, and other details, with no competing elements.
The new remove background effect allows you to isolate your design, replacing the sky and landscape with a color of your choice. This plain backdrop allows for a clean, presentation-ready look that ensures every feature of your design stands out.
Use it in photo, movie, or panorama modes to display your ideas from different angles or animate exploded axonometric views, revealing the details of your design in a dynamic way.
Powered-up performance
In Lumion 2024.4, resource management has been optimized, resulting in a reduction of VRAM usage.

Depending on scene complexity and render resolution, you can now experience a VRAM reduction of up to 42% in rasterization – and up to 46% at higher resolutions.
When using ray tracing, you’ll see improvements of up to 13% in NRD and up to 18% in OIDN. At higher resolutions, VRAM usage for ray tracing drops by 13% in NRD and 6% in OIDN.
