Breathe life into 3D models.
Invite others to see the beauty of your designs.

Lumion 10 builds on the tradition of making 3D rendering a stress-free part of architectural workflows. Simply imagine how you want to show your design and Lumion 10 can help you quickly bring that vision to life.

Others will be able to see the beauty of what you created, conveyed in its living environment.

With new features and tools, it’s easier than ever to communicate residential and commercial exteriors in their richly detailed

settings, cast interiors in a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, and develop living environments for landscapes and cityscapes.

Ten versions of Lumion. A decade of reliable, intuitive rendering software.

Made especially for you — the architect.

Top new features in Lumion 10

Create a dialogue between architectural design and its future setting.

High-quality preview

Unveil the beauty of your design before rendering.

The new high-quality preview in Lumion 10 lets you see the highest possible quality preview of your project before you render. You can experience how the effects in Photo, Movie or Panorama mode will impact the final result, empowering confidence and saving time when making changes to lighting, shadows, materials and camera positions.

With high-quality preview, what you see is what you get. Accurate. Reliable. Beautiful.

*The new Fine-detail Nature models are much richer than the standard nature models and other trees you can find in Lumion. As a result, they will make your scene heavier and can slow down the render speed. We recommend using the Fine-detail Nature models sparingly. Use them for that perfect image from the perfect angle!

Fine-detail Nature* (Pro only)

The 62 new Fine-detail Nature models in Lumion 10 are the most detail-rich, beautiful 3D tree and plant models available in the Lumion content library.

With trees, bushes, shrubs and more, these models will visually enrich your scene with life. They can help you imagine the feeling of leaves fluttering in the wind or the rough texture of bark. Place one in front of a home, building or park design, and others will see how your design connects with its living environment.

Displacement mapping

When surfaces contain relief and detail, the materials and your entire design come to life. With the addition of displacement mapping to 167 materials in Lumion 10, your audience will be able to feel the grain of your chosen wood, the rough surface of bricks, the bumpy texture of gravel.

Breathe life into your 3D renders. Capture the spirit of your designs.

Real Skies at night (Pro only)

When looking up at the night sky and its thousand dazzling stars, it’s easy to feel a sense of wonder and beauty toward your surroundings. This is the feeling we wanted to help architects create when showing their designs, and now we’re excited to introduce 5 new Real Skies at night available in Lumion 10 Pro.

In an instant, you can place your building or home under a clear, starry night or the wondrous beauty of the Milky Way. For interiors, you can show clients the experience of staring into the great expanse of space from the coziness of their future bedroom, living room, patio or kitchen.

* Model design by Van Manen.

Aurora Borealis (Pro only)

They’re a feast for the eyes as they gently float above your design, and if you’ve ever seen them in real life, you know the powerful feeling they impart.

Now, in Lumion 10 Pro, you can give an ethereal and artistic flavor to your renders by showing your designs under an orchestra of color and beauty with the new Aurora Borealis effect.

Photo Matching (Pro only)

Photograph a view. Match it to your design.

Photo Matching is available in Lumion 10 Pro. Now, you can place your 3D model in the context provided by a real-life photograph. Immediately show your design in the middle of its future residential neighborhood. Capture stunning, real-life locations and match them to your model with a few clicks of a button.

Whether showing clients a realistic property view or for compliance with authorities, you can match your architectural visualization to any photographed background, anywhere.

Heightmaps for OSM (Pro only)

Have you ever wanted to transport the majesty of the Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps right into your Lumion scene editor? Or perhaps you needed to show your design in the picturesque beauty of the project’s rolling hillsides

Real-life elevations are now within reach in Lumion 10. With the new heightmaps for OSM, you can recreate the actual elevations surrounding your project, from small, gradual climbs to mountainous, jagged peaks.

* Height maps data from (c) JAXA (AW3D30).

AI Artist Styles*

Blend art and architecture. Create artistic, impressionistic images of your designs. To hang on the wall of the client’s new home. For inclusion in your firm’s portfolio. Or simply for fun.

With AI Artist Styles, an experimental neural network feature in Lumion 10, you can see an interpretation of your design with the unique painting style of legendary artists, including the styles of Monet, Kandinsky, Picasso and others.

*Minimum 16GB of system memory required.
