Lumion is a real-time 3D architectural visualization software developed by Act-3D B.V., a privately-owned Dutch company, developer of the Quest3D engine, headquartered in Sassenheim, Netherlands.[1] Primarily used in architecture, landscaping, urban planning and interior design, Lumion allows the creation of high-resolution renders and visualizations.[2][3][4]

History

Act-3D, a company behind Lumion, was founded in 1998 in Leiden, Netherlands.[5]

In September 2001, the company developed Quest3D, a proprietary 3D engine utilized in the areas of architecture, product design, computer games, training software, and simulation environments.[6][7]

Act-3D shifted focus to architectural 3D rendering shortly after its inception. The first version of Lumion software was released in December 2010.[2][8]

Overview

Lumion has Pro and Standard licenses for commercial use. Lumion also has two educational licenses for non-commercial use only, Lumion Student and Lumion Faculty.[9]

Lumion offers real-time rendering, allowing users to view changes and updates instantly.[8]

It also has integration with popular CAD software, such as Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Archicad, and many more. Lumion LiveSync was introduced for the first time in 2018 for Sketchup, enabling real-time model-to-render synchronization.[10][8][11]

LiveSync feature allows CAD modeling and Lumion rendering integration for simultaneous work in both environments with modifications that are instantly visible within the context of a lifelike landscape, including realistic skies, vegetation, furniture, and other rendered elements.[10][12]

Lumion’s render engine combines rasterization technology with ray tracing for realistic light behavior and automatically generates realistic indirect lighting, reflections, and shadows.[13][14][8][15][16]

It is compatible with both Nvidia and AMD GPUs.[17][18]
