“Right away, we could see the power of what Lumion could do for the trees, for the sky, for the life that it brought to the project.” Peter Stromberg, Architect at Garcia Stromberg + GS4studios

FAST RENDERING FOR ARCHITECTSLUMION 8

FAST RENDERING FOR ARCHITECTS

Lumion is the world’s fastest 3D rendering software for architects.

In seconds, you can visualize CAD models in a video or image with real-life environments or striking artistic flair. Whether you model in Revit, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, Rhino, AutoCAD, and 3ds Max, among many others, Lumion instantly breathes life into your designs with realistic trees, stylish effects, and thousands of objects and materials from the content library.

No training required, and after just 15 minutes, you can learn to create jaw-dropping images, videos and 360 panoramas with lightning-fast speeds.

More time to design, less time waiting for renders. Lumion empowers architects to create engaging images in seconds, and videos in minutes.

Communicate your architectural concepts with striking, accurate visualizations that help audiences “feel the space.”

Collaborate with fellow architects and designers using different CAD software, and bring buildings, landscapes and urban spaces together into a single Lumion render.

You can even model and visualize simultaneously with LiveSync, helping you design in the context of real-life environments.

HOW LUMION CAN BENEFIT YOU

Communicate concepts and ideas

Experience the feeling of spaces

TURN DESIGNS INTO RENDERSRendering was once a slow and tedious process. With Lumion, everything’s changed. From importing a CAD model to rendering a spellbinding result, the whole process now takes only a few hours. And if you need to update a render on-the-fly, you can reconnect your model, adjust the render settings, and show your client a brand new result, all in a matter of minutes.

Import For seamless integration with your work-flow, Lumion is compatible with all major CAD software, including Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max, AutoCAD, Rhino and many others.

Build Apply materials and add trees, people, cars and other models from the content library.

Add effects Choose a viewpoint, add a style or con-figure image and animation effects, and optimize the scene for the most impact.

Render Create an image, animation, or a 360 panorama with lightning-fast speeds and beautiful quality.

Used by 67 of the top 100 architecture firms, and by thousands of users in more than 100 countries, Lumion has given architects of all backgrounds the ability to effectively communicate their projects.The end result — better designs, delighted clients.

Fast everythingFrom adding thousands of trees and texturing buildings to rendering a poster-size, high-resolution image, everything in Lumion en-ables faster workflows than any other rendering program out there.

Do-it-yourself rendering No 3D rendering experience? Perfect! Lumion helps anyone create videos, images and panoramas without any prior training.

Excellent supportOn the Lumion Support Center, you’ll receive technical and rendering support so fast you won’t believe it. Also, the ever-growing Knowledge Base contains all you’d need for a seamless, stress-free experience.

3D freedom Compatible with virtually all 3D modeling packages, and with features and tools to create photorealistic and conceptual results, Lumion is defining 3D freedom for the AEC industry.

TURN RENDERS INTO RESULTS

“Lumion’s interactivity and flexibility lets them see, in real-time, every modi-fication that’s needed and the impact those changes will have on the overall design of the project.” Jose Corraliza, AECOM Visualization Manager.

Act-3D is the company behind Lumion, the world’s fastest 3D rendering engine for everyday AEC professionals. Founded in 1998, we were one of the early pioneers when 3D acceleration hardware became commonplace, and after years of experience in simulation, training, architecture, TV and film, we transitioned to focus solely on architectural visualization.

Lumion architectural software uses cutting-edge technology and it requires an up-to-date computer with a fast graphics card.

Minimum Requirements:• OS: 64-bit Windows 10, 8.1, 7 SP1 or Vista SP2• Graphics card: Minimum 2,000 PassMark points, 2GB memory or more, and compatibility with DirectX 11 or later.• CPU: As high a GHz value as possible, ideally 3.0+ GHz• System Memory: 8GB (for simple scenes) with as high a MHz value as possible• Hard Drive: 20GB of disk space
