Whenever the file is uploaded to Lumion we can immediately see how it would shape. That makes the job way easier. It's like playing the video game, it's so easy to get used to with commands. > > **Cons**: It takes a lot of storage in PC. For a normal user with least PC space, Lumion can be problematic which requires strong graphics as well. It could be costly. > > Experience with Lumion is more than satisfactory. I can easily get the render view as per the requirement whether its exterior or interior. Also, video creation for me is so much fun and effective in Lumion. Just easy to go with software\! ----- ### "Lumion Review" — 5.0/5 > **Harrison** | *27 January 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very easy to use and I love how realistic the renders are. They are so realistic it is sometimes hard to differentiate between our renders and a photograph. > > **Cons**: It can be slow sometimes especially if we have SketchUp models imported that have a lot of detail. > > It is easy to use. Fun to use especially world building (placing trees, cars etc.) and creating scenes with different lighting, camera effects such as depth of field and using the near clip plane to get great perspectives on interiors. ----- ### "Decent experience overall." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 December 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Hyper realistic renderings - Multiple customization options for materials, effects and library. > > **Cons**: - Additional software open, needs constant linking back and forth. > > Overall experience has been decent. Although I like the quality of rendering in Lumion, it takes a good amount of time to coordinate between multiple applications. ----- ### "Power of Lumion" — 4.0/5 > **Zorana** | *27 December 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lumion is very easy to use, with capability to create super fast lot of different scenes in up to 8k resolution. > > **Cons**: It does not achieve the great quality with lighting as other softwares on the market. > > I am using Lumion for over 6 years now, mostly in my landscape designs. Lumion has great plant library, and i am very happy with an outcome it provides. ----- ### "Most common and easy 3D rendering and visualization software" — 5.0/5 > **Chanaka** | *2 September 2021* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lumion has the best output quality of renderings considering all the software out there. And from my personal experience, most professional designers use Lumion due to easiness and effectiveness. And with preloaded elements, the rendering and creating final output becomes quite professional and attractive. Also, it is equipped with many user-friendly features such as drag and drop, compatibility with many other application outputs. Usually, I create the model in SketchUp and use Lumion for rendering. The elite effects in Lumion such as 360 view, virtual reality function, make the rendering life-like and quite helpful when presenting the final design to clients. Most importantly out of all the rendering software, Lumion had the fastest rendering speed and enhanced output options to users which is vital in rendering software. > > **Cons**: Although Lumion is a good application for rendering, it takes quite a heavy processing power in doing the rendering. You got to have a device with higher performance to use Lumion effectively. And this is only available for Windows users. That’s quite a disadvantage for Mac and other operating system users. > > If you are expecting a high-quality, fast rendering for the designs, Lumion is the option you should choose. It’s faster and has many preloaded elements which will aid in designing a perfect simulation. But you got to have a device with high performance to use Lumion and Lumion works only on Windows operating system. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/174874/lumion?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/174874/lumion) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
