## **1. New functionality:**
### **Build Mode -\> Place Mode**
#### **1.1: Line Placement**
The new Line Placement now replaces Mass Placement from previous versions and brings several key improvements for easier and faster placement:
**1.1.1:** *Objects* are now placed along a spline that is considerably easier to manipulate using its *Control Points* and the *Gizmo*.
**1.1.2:** The *Control Points* can now be moved above or below the surface they are placed/projected on.
**1.1.3:** A new *Toggle* button has been added, Conform to ground, that enables objects to inherit the angle and orientation of the surface they are placed on.
**1.1.4:** Switching between a *Smooth* and a *Linear* path is also possible by changing the *Line Options.*
**
#### **1.2: Cluster Placement**
****
The improved Cluster Placement comes with additional functionality that allows for easier and faster *Scene* building:
**1.2.1:** Up to 20 *Objects* can be selected from the Library**:**
**1.2.2:** The *Radius* of placement can now be controlled (maximum of 100m) alongside the number of items (maximum of 50):
**1.2.3:** Sliders similar to the ones in the Line Placement tool have also been integrated (*Randomize positions*, *Direction*, and *Randomize direction*).
The L key can be used to control the *Cluster Range* and the R key for the *Direction*.
**1.2.4:** Conform to ground (see section **1.1.3** for more details) is also available.

### **Build Mode -\> Object Library**
#### **1.3: New Library *Objects***
**1.3.1:** The Lumion Library has been updated with 188 new *Objects*
- 100 Fine-detail Nature.
- 50 high-quality static *3D People*.
- 28 Stylized low-poly *Objects* for conceptual representation: 10 Trees, 12 People, 6 Cars.
- 10 OmniLight *Presets.*
**1.3.2:** Searching the Lumion Library using the term *L23.3* will display all newly added items.
Lumion Pro 2023.3 now includes **188** new Library Objects out of which **34** new have been made available for Lumion Standard.

#### **1.4: IES profiles for *OmniLights***
A set of 10 new *OmniLights* has been added to the *Lights Library*.
It is now also possible to load a custom *IES Profile* for OmniLights.
### **Build Mode -\> Landscape Mode**
#### **1.5: *OpenStreetMaps* improvements**
**1.5.1:** *OpenStreetMaps* texture resolution has been highly improved for supported areas.
**1.5.2:** In addition, the download speed for *OSM* tiles has been improved significantly.
### **Output Modes**
#### **1.6: Movie Mode -\> Render multiple clips**
*Clips* within the same *Clip Set* can now be rendered to individual '.MP4' files when selected via the *Clips tab*. This tab is visible when clicking the *Render Movie button* while *Entire Movie* is selected or one of the *Clips* is selected.
The interface is similar to that in *Photo Mode*.
### **Effects**
#### **1.7: Custom HDR/HDRi Skies for *Real Skies***
Loading a custom '.HDR' file to replace the presets is now possible through the *Load* button available in the *Real Skies Effect*. Using a custom image file will replace the sky map and emit light from the brightest registered area of the loaded texture. The sliders will affect the sky map in the same way as they affect the existing presets.
 
The lighting system is optimized for exteriors and using '.HDR' files for interiors may result in unexpected behavior.

## **2. Improvements:**
### **Build Mode -\> Landscape Mode**
#### **2.1: New *Landscape* textures**
There are 18 new high-quality textures added to *Landscape Mode* covering a range of environments. Older textures have been moved to the *Legacy* folder for a cleaner presentation of the *Texture* panel.
See also Section 4. Custom Landscape textures.:

### **Build Mode -\> Objects**
#### **2.2: Randomize *Nature Object* colors**
Lumion 2023.3 and newer versions will apply a small *Hue* adjustment when placing multiple Nature *Objects* of the same type.
### **Build Mode -\> Material Mode**
#### **2.3: Colorization for *Leaves***
The *Leaf Material* and *Foliage Property* of the *Standard Material* are now colorizable using the *Leaf Colorize* slider.
### **Build Mode -\> Importing**
#### **2.4: Variations panel**
Creating a Variation will toggle a panel that allows for either the duplication of the current *Imported Model* (example left) or importing a new model (example right):
The left example for the panel will create a (unique) duplicate of the current *Imported Model.*
Clicking on the '*Browse*' (folder) button and selecting a new model will create a new *Variation*.
### **Output Modes**
#### **2.5: Movie Mode - Camera Paths**
*Camera path* movement and projection have been redesigned to avoid intersections with the *Lumion Landscape*. When camera movement set via a path intersects the landscape mesh, it will now project the position of the camera to the closest point above the landscape.
#### 
#### **2.6: Photo/Movie/Panorama Mode - Copy and Paste notification**
A notification will appear when a Photo/Movie/Panorama Position or Effect Stack is copied to the clipboard.
### **Effects**
#### **2.7: Improved light control for *Real Skies***
**2.7.1:** A new slider, *Sun Intensity* now controls the brightness of the *Sun* independently from the rest of the *Sky*.
The slider allows for tweaking the sun intensity without the need to add the *Sun Effect* on top of the *Real Skies Effect*.
This slider value will be the same value in the *Sun Effect* if it is included in the *Effect Stack*.
**2.7.2:** The *Overall Brightness* has been renamed to *Background Brightness*. to better reflect what it does.
Setting the brightness of the HDR image itself without affecting the actual lighting cast by the sky map.
#### **2.8: Keyframing for *Real Skies***
The *Heading*, *Sky Brightness*, *Background Brightness*, and *Sun Intensity* sliders can be keyframed in Movie Mode**:**
#### **2.9: Improved UI display of sliders**
Slider values are now displayed on the right side, within the area of the slider, thus avoiding overlap of UI elements and improving readability.
#### 
### **New example *Projects* and *Templates***
#### **2.10: *Example Projects***
*Lumion* 2023.3 includes:
- 1 (one) new *Example Project*: *House of Time*.
