About Lumion
Lumion takes a CAD or BIM model and turns it into a rendered scene that clients and colleagues can understand. You add context, materials, lighting and atmosphere, then produce stills and animations in real time.
Recent versions add AI tools, included with every plan, for generating material maps, enhancing and upscaling images and exploring visual directions in the browser. Lumion Cloud lets teams and clients review work, leave comments and compare versions. It is aimed at architects and designers presenting projects.
