About Lumion Pro 2023

Lumion understands that rendering is the moment your vision comes to life in the design process. That is why Lumion 2023 was developed to keep you in your creative flow and visualize your designs exactly as you imagine them. Focus was put on the user experience, stability, and speed so you will not have to deal with unnecessary hesitations or hurdles.

You will get high-quality results every time and quality renders at a moment’s notice. Enjoy steady performance you can depend on an intuitive software experience that fits seamlessly with your creative process.

New Rendering Engine

Lumion has completely transformed its in-house render engine. This is a new chapter for Lumion and a new platform that will innovate for years to come. This completely redesigned render engine blends both the efficiency and speed of rasterization and the accuracy of ray tracing giving you the best of both worlds. Using Lumion Pro 2023 you will be able to create high-quality images, animations, and real-time visualizations with ease. You’ll have the power and flexibility to create stunning visual content that brings projects to life at your fingertips. Achieve greater realism in your renderings with less effort.

New Lighting System

Light impacts every detail of architectural designs giving you the ability to affect the mood of your design in an instant. The new Lumion 2023 render engine integrates rasterization with ray tracing techniques. This provides greater control over light, shadows, and reflections.

• New Ray Tracing Effect v0.9
• Curved Reflections
• Improved Soft and Contact Shadows
• Shadows from Area and Line Lights
• Shadows from Emissive Surfaces
• Light Units

Ray Tracing v0.9

Now you can add realistic light, shadows, and reflections to renderings at the touch of a button. You can control the number of samples and bounces, so you have more control over your final result. When ray tracing is switched on, your renderings will automatically show realistic indirect lighting, contact shadows, non-screen space reflections, and much more.

Complete PBR Material Workflow

The quality of existing PBR (physically-based rendering) materials is higher than ever in Lumion 2023.  The interaction between light and each surface results in ultra-realistic textures when you have the new ray tracing effect enabled. Plus, you have the option to import textures or combine different maps to achieve the exact look you desire.

New High-quality Materials in Lumion Pro

There are 98 new materials that can be used to add realism to your landscape designs and buildings’ surfaces. These new materials include brick, plaster, metal, concrete, wood, stone, asphalt, grass, and soil. On top of that, you’ll also find improved glass material so you can fine-tune every detail of your project’s windows and other glass surfaces. Add a custom texture, such as frostiness, and adjust the distortion to your tastes. Please note, the new glass material is currently not compatible with ray tracing v0.9.

Increased Content Library

New additions to the content library include 3D static characters, cars, vehicles, fine-detail nature, and furniture items. Make it easy for your clients to envision themselves in your designs. Bring life to your designs by instantly adding furniture and plants. Show the cars passing by, with these new tools you set the scene.

Scene Building Experience

Lumion 2023 has an upgraded build mode that offers a redesigned interface that provides simplicity and is easy to use. Making your design take shape with the look and feel you want to convey to your clients has never been easier.
