It’s much easier to make something that looks good. As Remko Jacobs, Lumion Founder and Chief Technical Officer, explains, “photorealism is there, particularly when it comes to imaging the exterior of buildings. Effective visualization is now no longer an exception to the norm, but increasingly an expectation.

The pursuit of photorealism that dominated much of visualization’s technological development has, for the vast majority of its users, been largely accomplished. The new version of Lumion has entered into a visualization landscape that has changed dramatically over the past decade. This latest update introduces a host of valuable performance and usability improvements to better handle project files from previous versions of the software. As technology advances, so too does its ability to become less obtrusive, allowing technological know-how to take a back seat in favor of the creative process and design exploration. Lumion 2023.1 Update - Lumion 3D Rendering Software is now available to all subscribers. But the fact that the two are inseparable does not mean that technology should dictate the way in which visualization is used. It is, after all, a means of representing architecture that has relied on technological developments to keep up with the demands of a growing audience across multiple industries. LS for future rendering or development.Visualization and technology have long gone hand in hand.

Continue working on and modifying your project even after you turn off LiveSync, and easily save the file as an. When establishing the LiveSync connection, Lumion will automatically import your SketchUp model. Turn it on and immediately adopt the SketchUp camera perspective, making your work easier, faster and more enjoyable.

LiveSync now enables live point-of-view synchronization. As you continue to develop the design, you can tweak the materials exactly to your liking and then save your material layouts for future rendering. Instantly breathe life into your synced SketchUp model by applying any of Lumion’s 1000+ high-definition materials in the Lumion editor. Beautiful materials make the design 'pop', while photo-realistic lighting suddenly heightens your sense of environment, realism and depth. Change the SketchUp model’s shape and you’ll see these changes taking place, in real-time, in Lumion’s breathtaking, lifelike environment.Īs you continue modeling in SketchUp, you can simultaneously view your project in Lumion surrounded by an immersive, fully featured landscape (mountains, water, grass). Immediately set up a live, real-time visualization between SketchUp and Lumion. You will need Lumion 8.3 (or above) and SketchUp 2017 (or above). The Lumion LiveSync for SketchUp plug-in allows you to model your SketchUp design in a beautiful environment that’s so realistic, it’s like you’re pushing and pulling real-life buildings into shape.
