New Technologies Lead to New Ideas

The most notable changes to Lumion 6 are the inclusion of so many new features, such as PureGlass, Speedray Reflections, Hyperlight 2 and OmniShadow. These features focus on the subtlety of your designs and emphasizes the larger impact that it has on your overall scene. Making elements like surface texture, reflection, light variations and shadow depth a priority brings realism to your visualization that can make your vision a reality and sell your idea. Check out why Lumion has developed these incredible new technologies, and how it can change the way you design!

OmniShadow
Accurate shadow rendering is essential to presenting a realistic design. Important visual cues and structural forms are dependent on shadowing. OmniShadow technology enhances small details and renders models more solid and effective.

Hyperlight 2
Subtle light variations can be the difference between a natural looking visualization and an artificial one. The colors of materials rely heavily on the way light bounces between surfaces. The new Hyperlight 2 calculates the light on surfaces with detailed accuracy.

Speedray Reflections
Materials are brought to life with realistic reflections. Speedray™ Reflections renders reflections with high efficiency to achieve a believable look to glass, water, marble, wood and metal surfaces. Now you can massively improve your image quality.

PureGlass
Glass is commonly used in architecture and design visualizations. PureGlass technology offers you a selection of transparent, translucent and frosted glass that looks more compelling and realistic than ever.
