Lumion Pros and Cons

It's amazing when you start working with Lumion. The workflow between Revit and Lumion is incredibly simple, allowing you to seamlessly integrate both. When you immerse yourself in the Lumion environment, you'll spend a few hours to achieve excellent results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the challenges with Lumion is managing materials. It's not very easy to work with, especially when dealing with large projects, making it complicated to handle them within the Lumion environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of Use, Intuitive menu and dedicated support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more payment options . The software is good per se. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how fast I can produce a good looking rendering with limited experience. I really appreciate all the materials and objects that are included in the software. Saves me a bunch of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't too many things I can say negatively about Lumion. I guess one thing that I've noticed is when I render a scene from a distance the shadows tend to scatter. It's not a smooth gradient shadow effect. If that makes sense. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most about lumion is how user friendly is, and the realistic quality you can achieve on your renderings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is that you cant model in Lumion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best features of Lumion with respect to me is being able to render 3Ds thjat has the most realistic approach towards the renders.

Along with that the texture, lighting, material library and effects that it provides are one of the key factors that bhave made my life easier throughout the rendering process.

And finally the feacture that actually stood out of the box when compared to other rendering apps was it already had a pre existing set of 3D library of people and furniture and trees, basically everything that was needed for the realistic approach of design and renders.

Although Limon has a very easy User Interface and everyone with basic knowledge of rendering can actually get renders done easily but still there are features that would need a bit of learning edge such as it took me hard to understand the aspects of lighting as the preview of the render and post render images had different lumionsity variations.

Lumion simplified our jobs by facilitating quick and efficient final image renders. It doesn't necessitate in-depth rendering and graphics design knowledge. And it produces incredible-quality images, posters, and other printable media to exhibit to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the Windows operating system supports Lumion.Although the procedure is fairly simple, the lumion engine occasionally consumes so much processing power that it crashes background apps. Additionally, the quality of your graphics card and PC's processing power affect the final product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the software was built based on a gaming engine, it follows the same way as how to navigate inside a game, which means that the controls are pretty familiar for someone who plays games. The interface is uncluttered and has a minimalistic approach, which is also the same for the mechanics of the software which is simple and easy to use. It is also surprisingly fast when it comes to rendering high-quality images. I've been using this software with SketchUp, and these two works really well together for both are very easy to use and produce fast results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just wish that there was a proper snapping mechanism when it comes to moving or rotating objects, like AutoCAD and SketchUp. I hope that this will be considered and implemented in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
