Intuitive visualization software

Architects who have so far been unconvinced by GPU technology may change their minds with the arrival of Lumion 2023. Lumion has been offering photorealism for 13 years with renderings that take seconds. Dozens of visualizations, animations without a render farm, quick fixes at every stage of design - such freedom is easy to like.

With Lumion 2023, however, a technology is also being put into the hands of architects, with the help of which the renders of professional visualizers look like real photographs. We are talking about ray tracing technology, which reflects the physical action of light. Thanks to it, with Lumion 2023, perfectly realistic renders are now within the reach of every architect.

What real-time rendering gives you

GPU (graphics processing unit) based rendering is nothing more than rendering that uses the graphics card, instead of the computer's processor. We model in a BIM or CAD program, and see the changes in real time in a visualization program, where the model can be seen in realistic light, with selected materials. Rendering is lightning fast - we get static visualizations in seconds, and animations (even in 4K) take hours, not weeks. You also don't need a rendering farm, as your own computer with a good graphics card is all you need for the job.

All the best in GPU (and CPU) rendering

So far, what has been the advantage of the CPU technology over the Lumion engine is the ray tracing technique, which makes light propagate on objects in the scene in a natural way, as if it were doing it in real life. Lumion 2023, already running on RT technology, jumps the last significant barrier to achieving photorealism. Lights, reflections and shadows are even more realistic, and most importantly, architects can still create them as easily and quickly as before.

Why it's so easy to create renders with Lumion

Lumion users claim that the program's interface can be mastered in 15 minutes and requires no graphic design skills. Templates, effect sets, sliders and drag-and-drop technique - visualization is now so easy that a 3D graphic designer is no longer needed. You can test it on your own project - by testing the full version of the program for free for 14 days.
