How Lumion energizes the design process
Communicate design ideas with emotion. Create a shared visual experience. Render your designs in a unique time and place. At any phase of the design process, Lumion makes it intuitive and simple to create beautiful results full of atmosphere and life.
We started using Lumion as a communication tool to convey our designs, and the more we were using it, the more we realized it’s not about just rendering anymore. We can use this in our design process.

When they see a fly-through video with every detail, all the lighting, all the materials — it really gives them a realistic view of what their project could be. And I think that is what brings a sparkle to their eye.
