Used by 61 of the top 100 architecture firms in the world along with thousands of landscape architects across the globe, Lumion architectural visualization software brings your designs to life by rendering them with a jaw-dropping sense of realism and detail.

Just import your 3D model from Sketchup, Revit or your regular modeling software, then quickly add trees, plants, people, lights and any other kind of object from Lumion’s extensive library, to build the context around your scene. You can even import sections of cities using the OpenStreetMaps link in Lumion.
