Make your model design realistic.
Good, especially when dealing with landscaping or building model information. Lots of easy steps to follow to get the results I want.
The user interface is comfortable and easy to use, has a media library that can be easily accessed to speed up my work
Unfriendly prices and software versions that change too quickly make it difficult for me to deal with old files

a great product to help Sell 3D designs
so far it helps send the design aspects to the clients with min rendering time and even night time veiws
- what i like it its easy to use compared to using Vray in sketch up or other plug ins
- Lumion is its own program, you build you model in Sketch up then import it to Lumion, after that you pull in the model you can add trees people and effects like water moving
- render it for views, or even what i like is make a panorama 360 view for VR goggles or even just upload it to Lumion Site and send it to clients to view easily
- a huge price difference between the Pro and normal version some items you think that should be in the basic is only available on the Pro version and that costs almost $1,400 more
- also a lot of trees and plants, and rendering options only in pro even live street views

Easy quick renderings.
Architecture & Planning
- This is a great tool for creating immersive renderings and animations quickly
- The libraries of entourage objects are great making it very easy to populate your model
- Intuitive and quick material library
There is a limited degree of control over the rendering properties and the output is a bit cartoony

the best tool to model quickly and efficiently
I really like how quickly one can model and set projects
- the interface and the ease of applying textures and setting of the models
- very expensive for companies that are starting

Easiest and most complete rendering engine and 3D real time visualization software
We used this software daily for our presentations with customers and they got amazed as well, because if they needed to change something, we just did it in the meeting and they saw the new image immediately on Lumion.
- I keep getting amazed by how easy it is to render images on Lumion
- You just import the model that you made in an external 3d modeling software and once inside Lumion, the magic starts by picking materials and inserting furniture, plants, select sky, etc
- There is a wide variety of 3d models for furniture, people, plants, etc
- The best part is that you can do all this in real time, as you move you see it rendered
- You will need a powerful computer to get the best results
- But it is expected, not a surprise
- Everything else is perfect

The only software needed for all kinds of design aspects.
Absolutely awesome.
Lumion is able to design anything that is in your imagination from houses cars to even a writing pen
There really is not much to say about Lumion that is negative besides the fact I have to be paying a subscription

Lumion the best real time render software out there?
Overall I was very pleased to use Lumion as its intuitive and fun to use.
- The best thing about Lumion is that it is very easy to use in the beginning, anyone can start to render simple scenes without much effort
- The component library is very huge, one of the biggest you can get in a software like this
- It is very expensive while we compare it to similar software
- For professional grade quality you will have to invest more time and the system requirement to run Lumion is also high

Best ever architectural rendering software in the world
Verified reviewer
- For realistic renderings, this is the best tool
- As a civil engineer I am using the application to make realistic 3d renderings of the structures
- It provides nice illusions and effects to make your renderings more realistic
- It allows 3d image rendering, sceneries and also the animations
- Since this is a high power rendering engine, this software needs higher processing power
- Therefore, you have to use more powerful pc to get your work done

- the thing i dont like too much is how we move and scale in lumion

Ultimate Tool for 3D visualization and animation.
It saves time for creating superb animation walkthroughs/flythroughs and stunning images. It may be a bit of a learning curve but I would prefer Lumion to create animations compared to other 3d applications I have used over the years.
- It saves time to create 3d environments around you model that you want to showcase, has realtime sun and night setting, creating oceans, landscapes, trees with ease which are pre-animated and according to physics
- It renders faster than any other rendering plugin software and quality is even better
- I can even create bokeh effects, depth of field, camera shakes and many more
- What's cool is that you can create and populate the scene in real-time with effects like playing a video game
- So you do not need to render every time you create a new effect just to see how it looks like
- Saves time like a lot
- Lumion is NOT a modeling software
- Your 3d models created are imported into the software and you populate the scene with its internal library
- I find the internal library lacking models but Lumion keeps improving their 3d library in every new version released
- Also, its interface can be confusing sometimes
- This coming from experience using other 3d software which are far friendlier to use
