Fast turn around! We are able to quickly review a complex design through animation and rendered stills. Within a matter of minutes we can see import, or use live update to better understand complex building geometries from the perspective of the ultimate building user. In addition to this, each night we run a multi-sequence walkthrough through the entire project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the menu interfaces could be more intuitive, but once you know where things are it is easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other software I could use, Lumion is really perfect to take in hand. Exceptional speed of execution and display compared to other similar engines. In addition to this, the professional version is filled with plants, cars, people who normally pay! The import is done without problems, the models are retained once the software relaunched. Lumion is very useful for the exceptionally fast rendering! Provided you have a very good graphics card, can easily render in 4K in 2 minutes. Lumion also has a simple interface to understanding, many post-processing tools as well as various artistic filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumion has some problems for me:

The rendering is not pushed enough in terms of realism,

For fast rendering and good performance during use it is necessary to have a very good graphics card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can easily create projects using Lumion without previous knowledge (or at least, not so much knowledge), with Lumion I am capable of creating super awesome renders in no time, the light details are just incredible. One of the most important features is that I am able to modify my models as many times as necessary, and the best of all is that it is super quick!

Also I like the variety of accepted formats, it is a really cool feature, Also I really, really love the feature of VR (Virtual Reality), I can easily render my project and transfer it to a tablet to show it to my clients, I can even send them an email with a link to check the project from different points and angles!

I probably have no complaints for Lumion as right now, one of the things that I "dislike" (I really don't, but they could make it better) is that sometimes when I make a render of a living room for example, the textures are super great when they are zoomed in, but they don't look so "reallistic" when you see them from a mid range area, so that will be my only "dislike" on this.

Lumion revolutionize the visualization process for the modern designers. Streamline the trickiest rendering elements such as landscape, water, and animated objects into a seamless, simple workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Further customization at the level of types of leaves, trunks, colors of flowers would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumion is the easiest rendering software to learn, hands down. And for its simplicity it produces decent renderings. It’s comparability with modeling softwares is great b Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lumion has its limitations. Also requires a large graphics card and processor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to created very vivid 3D images with absolutely beautiful visuals. I also like how ease it was to add and remove ideas with ease. Again the vividness of the picture and the many different options that were able to be used was pretty awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that there was a scale tool to help with dimensions with glitchiness at times with camera movement. The ability to stop the camera is difficult at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The quality of renderings is amazing. The lighting, scale figures, and other special effects are great. I'm especially impressed with Lumion 8 and the interior preset for renderings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't change the material of just one plane, you have to change that one thing you missed in Revit or sketch up and reimport it. Also, the selection of scale figures are not the best or most diverse, and their faces are a bit creepy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this software is the ability to produce realistic materials easily and quickly. The crowd generator is very easy to use and manipulate, as well as the trees and plants to make your scene even more lively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs more support of other 3rd party renderers like V-Ray. It doesn't support all industry standard file extensions, but usually, you can find a way around that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed of final output, effect stack pre-sets, amount of objects, very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Price is quite steep, no custom rendering dimensions, no possibility to seperate faces to attach other materials/colors/textures, not easy to make animations from custom made objects, rain and snow also inside the models (no collision detection) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

more in depth shadowing, sun, terrain, and the ability to quickly update multiple views with a new model. expanding library, especially in site elements adds to the use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

human characters still are a bit "video-game" ish and plasticky, could use more interior entourage elements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
