What do you like best about Lumion?

It is an amazing software for designers like me. We can import 3D files from any software to Lumion very easily. The most important feature is that we can insert people, birds, vegetation, and even water that flows. In addition, it is easy to capture views from different angles. It really is the best presentation software for architects and designers. In addition it is super important to note that this software is rendered much faster than others, for me it saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumion?

In general I do not have much problem with Lumion, I wish there were more options for animations for people, it is a bit difficult to navigate between the options of the same model and has demanding specifications, but it runs anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lumion:

It is a great software to be able to go deeper into what 3D design was and learn a little more about this topic, it is also an excellent tool to start with our 3D projects, very comfortable and easy to use, useful for all those people They do not have much knowledge about 3D design and they want to start working with this kind of thing. I recommend 100% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumion solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to make 3D representations of the interior spaces that we must show to the clients as it brings realistic sensations to the designs. Lumion gives life to designs with their living effects and creative tools. There are many objects to choose from and thousands of materials in the library to begin with. The Lumion software is so easy to understand and use that it can make an amazing image in just a few minutes and you can get many options to design the image in a more realistic way.

What do you like best about Lumion?

Lumion is an extremely fast 3D rendering and visualization software. No training is required. After following a brief trial (roughly 15 minutes) users are provided with all the necessary tools/knowledge to create images and visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumion?

Importing external materials (and their respective channels) could be better. It would be nice if all channels could be adjusted directly from within Lumion without a Photoshop detour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumion solving and how is that benefiting you?

I show the renders to my clients, or share them on social media in every stage of the process. It's fun working with Lumion and it really gives my designing process a boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumion?

Lumion helps create semi-realistic renderings with less time than other methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumion?

The interface is unlike any other programs we use. It doesn't follow typical windows fashion. No Ctrl + Z for undo. No Ctrl + S for save, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lumion:

Doesn't take lots of time to learn. It's compatible with many programs. Geolocation is not very accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lumion solving and how is that benefiting you?

We create renderings from 3D models we've developed in Revit, Sketchup, Rhino. It's easy and fast to create polished looking still images. Walkthroughs take more time but are also fairly easy. The learning curve isn't too steep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lumion?

The interface is not complex, it allows you to import files modeled in other software and then apply the materials to perform the animated render, the appearance and result left me as acceptable and includes very useful tools to make the animation more real.

It has enough components to introduce the animation project from people to vegetation, online also get many resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumion?

Although it is very efficient it is still a bit below the expected realism result, the transitions are still a bit slow and the renderings of the animations take a long time, while the more complete and complex the project will be the longer it will take to finish the production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lumion:

It is perfect for animation, virtual tour scenes is the most consolidated aspect of the software, it allows you to work easily the application of materials in a few minutes and that will save you a lot of work, if you are looking for a software dedicated to this area I assure you that you will remain satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To make fast and little complex animations of some virtual tour Lumion allows me to do it without more time of dedication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
