- Lumion is a real-time rendering application and plug-in that offers exceptional rendering capabilities to create photorealistic visualizations of your building models, including:
- Rendered images
- 360 degree panoramas
- Video walkthrus
- Virtual reality
- The Lumion software works with many Windows modeling tools:
- Autodesk Revit
- SketchUp Pro
- Rhino
- ArchiCAD
- Vectorworks
- Lumion is not available for the Mac OS. But, it can be used on an Intel-based Mac with a Bootcamp partition.
‣
- Lumion performs its renders using your graphics card (GPU), but the graphics card has to have dedicated VRAM, and not shared VRAM as found with Intel Integrated Graphics chips. If your CPU and RAM are capable of handling Revit, for instance, and you have a capable GPU, Lumion should work.
- Note for Mac Users: Lumion can typically run on an Intel-based Mac using Bootcamp (which provides access to the Mac graphics card). Lumion cannot run under Parallels.
