Rendering isn’t just another step in the design process — it’s the moment your vision comes to life. Lumion 2023 was designed to keep you in your creative flow, so you can visualize the future exactly how you imagine it.

The wait is finally over! With a completely redesigned render engine that blends both rasterization and ray tracing, Lumion 2023 was designed to keep you in your creative flow, so you can visualize the future exactly how you imagine it.

The best of both worlds

Lumion 2023 is the most versatile – and powerful – version of the software yet. With its redesigned render engine that blends both rasterization and ray tracing, it opens the door to even more creative possibilities for your designs.

Whatever your vision for the future, realize it with the ultimate freedom and flexibility in Lumion 2023.

Introducing ray tracing v0.9

Realistic light at the touch of a button
Add realistic light, shadows, and reflections to your renderings at the touch of a button.

The new ray tracing effect in Lumion lets you control the number of samples and bounces, giving you greater precision over the final result. With ray tracing switched on, your renderings will automatically show realistic indirect lighting, non-screen space reflections, contact shadows, and much more.

The scope of the new ray tracing effect will continue to be expanded and new additions will be easily made available thanks to the new software updater.

Render an experience

Don’t just see a design, feel it. Discover the easiest way to give shape to your vision with Lumion 2023.

Full PBR material workflow

In Lumion 2023, the quality of existing PBR (physically-based rendering) materials is higher than ever. With the brand-new ray tracing effect enabled, the interaction between light and each surface results in ultra-realistic textures. You can also import your own textures or combine different maps to create the exact look you want.

Custom material library

Created the perfect material and don’t want to lose it? Simply save it to your custom materials library to access it again and again.

Plus, you can organize your custom material collections however you choose to by saving them into folders.

Expanded content library

Help your clients imagine themselves in your design, with Lumion’s extensive library of lifelike people. Set the scene and show the life in any project, by instantly adding your choice of realistic objects and furniture, whether it’s a plant in the corner of a room, the cars passing by a building, or the wooden finish of a chair.

The new additions to the Lumion content library include: fine-detail nature, 3D static characters, cars, vehicles, and furniture items.

More to come

Staying up to date is now simple and stress-free. Lumion 2023 includes a brand-new updater tool, which automatically detects any new available features and content and gives you the option to run updates in the background. As we continue to improve our implementation of ray tracing technology, you can have a look at our development roadmap for more information on what’s to come.

Camera editor

New camera paths

Create animations faster and easier than ever with new camera paths that give you greater control and smoother camera movements:

Follow object – let the camera follow an animated object or character.

Dolly shot – move the camera in any straight line by setting the start and end points.

Orbit path – create a perfectly smooth camera path by simply setting the camera target, sphere radius, camera height, and start/end point.

Post-processing

Improved color correction

<>Balance the colors in your scene with greater precision with the new histogram.

Rendering output

Aspect ratios

Control the composition for your visualizations by rendering directly in your preferred aspect ratio. Choose from a range of formats, including square and vertical aspect ratios, and save time cropping your photos and videos post-render.
