#### 1. From Lumion 2023 to Lumion 2024:
## Guide to working with the changes from your version of Lumion
**1. From Lumion 2023 to Lumion 2024:**
Critical foundational developments that were needed to take *Ray Tracing* to the next step have been included in this release.
You are likely to be familiar with the capabilities and features that rolled out over the year for Lumion 2023.
Lumion 2024 continues a process of strong, significant and rapid updates in this new and major release.
The *Updates* for Lumion 2023 tended to be more about establishing and getting some core features included that were not part of the initial 2023.0 release.
Lumion 2024 is about consolidating the pathway to *Ray Tracing* as a fundamental choice you can make for your renders.
*Rasterization* is still an option and continues to provide a solid foundation that Lumion is renowned for.
Rendering an animation as *Ray Traced* in Lumion 2023 posed difficulties due to the limitations of the *Denoiser*. Of course render times are significantly more than those for *Rasterization* due to the inherent computations needed, and depending on *Scene* requirements.
Lumion 2024 takes big stride in implementing two core technologies:
- To greatly improve the iterative Preview to render process via *NRD Denoising* in *Photo* and *Movie Modes*. (NRD: NVIDIA's Real-Time Denoisers - ReLAX and ReBLUR)
- To significantly improve the render outcome for animations via *NRD* and *MIS* (see sections later: 4.2.1: Temporal Denoising using NRD and 4.2.3: Multiple Importance Sampling).
- By implementing these technologies now, Lumion is able to take advantage of a further key benefit. That the number of *Ray Traced Samples* can be significantly reduced to achieve the same level of quality.
Lumion 2023 did have a number of limitations that we openly advised about. The impact was that some *Scenes or Projects* that required the content or materials not yet in the *Ray Trace* rendering pipeline could not be fully achieved with *Ray Tracing*.
The biggest of those was the impact of not having *Nature Objects*, especially with Lumions' large *Library*. Plants could be included by importing models, but that of course was not always practical and you understandably wanted to make use of the Lumion *Nature Library*.
Lumion 2024 solves that now and *Nature* is fully integrated in the pipeline.
There are however still some materials and content yet to also be included but planned for (hopefully) as early as release in a 2024.x Update. Whilst it would be great to have everything fully sorted, included and wishes met, that was not possible given the significant steps taken. More will certainly be done for Lumion 2024 now that phase of development is nearing completion.
See Section 6 for the update on [Technical Limitations](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13085371332764.json#h_01HS5WJPCEF6GEXQQ59ZS7AM88).

#### 2. From versions before Lumion 2023 to Lumion 2024:
**2. From versions before Lumion 2023 to Lumion 2024:**
Many, many, significant changes have occurred from your version.
Massive and important changes occurred in Lumion 2023 that saw the introduction of a *Ray Trace* rendering engine along with a full rewritten *Material System* fully supporting *PBR (Physically Based Rendering)* materials, and an integrated *Lighting System*.
### 2.1: Understanding the Changes
In moving from your version to Lumion 2024 we suggest absorbing the changes using the following, and preferably in this order.

#### 3. Continuous development cycle:
**3. Continuous development cycle:**
Lumion 2024.0 is a major release but also now follows the *Update* cycle of improvements established with Lumion 2023.
Future updates will further enhance the software and features and include more of the content that is, as at 24.0, not possible to have included in the *Ray Trace rendering pipeline*. Those things are being worked on as priorities.
Please also refer to the *Roadmap* for Lumion:
- **Lumion website:** [Lumion Product Roadmap](https://lumion.com/product/roadmap)
- **Lumion website:** [Charting Lumion's roadmap in 2024 and beyond](https://lumion.com/news/2024-vision-interview)
#### 
#### 4. Improvements - highlights:
**4. Improvements - highlights:**
### **4.1: Improvements - highlights**
- Real-time temporal Denoising in the Preview window (*Photo Mode* and *Movie Mode*) using *NRD*. NRD refers to NVIDIA's Real-Time Denoisers - ReLAX and ReBLUR).
- Render time temporal Denoising for Movies using *NRD*.
- Rendering quality/performance subsystem: Multiple Importance Sampling (*MIS*).
- New, advanced *Fully Ray Traced Glass*: supports refraction (IOR), emulated glass depth, absorption, colored light and shadow transmittal, etc.
- All *Nature Objects* have been converted are now in the bindless pipeline and can be rendered with *Ray Trace* rendering as well as *Rasterization*.
- *Parallax interiors*.
- *Camera Controls*. Three (3) new ways to control your camera aligned with camera control in leading CAD software.
- *Batch importing* and *glTF Importing*.
- *Landscape tiling*: quality of render improvement for Landscapes and also materials (Standard).
### **4.2: At a glance**
The development focus has been on establishing further foundational, complex and highly useful real-time and rendering processes.
Those significant developments include:
### 4.2.1: Temporal Denoising using NRD
Real-time temporal Denoising in the *Preview* window (*Photo Mode* and *Movie Mode*) using *NRD*. (NVIDIA's Real-Time Denoisers - ReLAX and ReBLUR).
The *Preview* is now instantly denoised allowing for a more accurate visual representation in the *Preview* window.
 
*The real-time preview is now very close to the result of the High quality/preview and final render output. Tweaking the image with for example the color correction effect is now pretty much “what you see is what you get”*.
The preview now uses FSR 2 (real-time GPU upsampling technology from AMD) when selected from *Settings - Image - Editor Settings* (resolution percentages below 100%).
This change along with an adjustment to the *Color Correction Effect* now means that:
- You can see the *HQ Preview* image dynamically change according to the *Color Correction Effect* changes and stay as an *HQ Preview*. (In Lumion 2023 this would reset each slider change, resulting in the need to update the *Preview* to *HQ Preview* each time.)
### 4.2.2: Render time temporal Denoising for Movies using NRD
*NRD* requires less *Samples* than *OIDN* (the original Photo Mode Denoiser) to output a result of similar fidelity for a final render (*Movie/Clip*).
(NRD: NVIDIA's Real-Time Denoisers - ReLAX and ReBLUR).
The temporal aspect of *NRD* considerably reduces the shimmering effect in *Movies/Clips* compared to denoisers that do not take previous frames into account.
See Section 1.1: Real-time Ray Traced Preview:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us)
### 4.2.3: Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS):
See also Section 1.7 in the [Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us).
This algorithm has been introduced in Lumion 2024 to improve light distribution on objects and rendering efficiency. *MIS* employs multiple sampling techniques and takes into account the dimension of a light source. As such, it is able to approximate the contribution of light to a pixel and produce a higher accuracy result.
This technology is embedded in the rendering process. There are no settings you need to select for any options.
The positive impact is clearly in the rendering outcome and its impact on the number of *Samples* when using *Ray Tracing*.

#### *(click this image for a larger, close up view)*
### 4.2.4: Glass: Fully Ray Traced Glass and Shadows
The *Glass Material* is now more physically accurate in *Ray Tracing* and allows for better control when aiming to achieve a look closer to reality. This is especially visible in more intricate geometry as the shape will correctly reflect and refract light.
The material is updated with two new *Properties*.
You now have the option of using *Standard Ray Traced Glass* - receives *Ray Traced Reflections***\***.
Useful for good quality large window pane/window walls with reflections rendered fast without the need to the im-depth glass render (as next).
Or using the *Fully Ray Traced Glass***\*** via the *Ray Trace Effect* setting:
You may recall that in Lumion 2023 there was a change from the use of *Waxiness* to one where: "It now takes into account the *Transparency*, *Frostiness*, and luminosity of the color of the *Glass*. But as yet not the color."
Now the light/shadow transmitted through the semi-transparent surface is colored along with the other values that affect its look on other surfaces.
See details on using the Glass Material:
- **Knowledge Base:** [The New Glass Material for Lumion 2024 and the Glass setting for Ray Tracing](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12802058309532.json?hsLang=en-us)

\* for those *Objects* in the *Ray Trace* rendering pipeline, see Section 6. Technical Limitations.
#### 5. Feature Changes:
**5. Feature Changes:**
**5.1: Build Mode**
#### **5.1.1:** Landscape tiling:
Quality of render improvement that uses hexagonal mapping (Hex tiling) to reduce repetitiveness and tiling lines.
This feature is also available for you to use as an option in *Materials* based on the *Standard Material*.
See Section 10.4.1: Landscape Tiling (Hexagonal Tiling/Hex-tiling):
- **Knowledge Base:** [What do the properties of the Standard Material mean in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/7764034284188.json?hsLang=en-us)
#### **5.1.2:** Build Mode: Effects Library: Parallax interiors:
Quickly and easily create complete rooms based on real-world images of the content of a room.
Instead of placing 3D Objects in to a room so that it shows some occupancy, use these special resources from the *Effects (F/X) Library* and place as a complete room in one go.
Day and night variants. With options covering offices, residential spaces, and retail areas, these interiors provide a quick and effective way to elevate the visual impact of architectural renderings.
You can control the lighting and height and scale as needed to fit most spaces.
Lumion 2024 includes 26 of these *Objects*. Currently there is no feature to import your own Parallax images from other resource sites.
#### **5.1.3:** Camera Controls
This has been a frequent request, but usually to provide some sort of keyboard mapping extra interface to change the input keys to match another software.
Making the option very easy to implement for you you will find there is now the option to control the Lumion workspace using consistent controls with 3D modelling software has been added for SketchUp, Revit and Rhino.
See also Section 1.13: Camera Controls:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us)
Also covered in our:
- **Knowledge Base:** [What are the keyboard shortcuts in Lumion 2024?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12614115846428.json?hsLang=en-us)
#### **5.1.4:** Batch importing
There have been a few requests over the years some some when they have a number of file to import and would like to do that all at once.
Multiple Models can now be imported at once when clicking the *Import Model* button.
**Note** that it is not possible to place each *Objects* at a different *Position*. All models imported will be placed at the Lumion world center automatically. Unlike importing a single model where you can choose to *Place* or not, this import process does require that all models be placed.
Intended for use also with *Animated Phasing,* so that you can bring in multiple parts of a model at once for the *Animated Phasing Effects* process.
As such you may find it better to use an empty *New Template* to do such batch importing, then close the *Project* without saving so that they are only in your *Imported Models Library*.
If you want those models included in your *Project* then you will need to re-position them after the import.
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you type in position coordinates for an object?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/360003474533.json?hsLang=en-us)

If the models are offset from their own world axis then like other models imported they will also be offset but still have the correct Lumion world center when placed at any time from the *Imported Model Library*.
### Materials:
#### Ray Traced Subsurface Scattering:
Lumion 2024 also brings an improved *Ray Traced Subsurface Scattering* that accurately depicts the natural diffusion of light through surfaces and volumes.
Although a new *Subsurface Scattering* system was introduced for Lumion 2023 and with the new *PBR Materials* system, it was limited and there could be issues with *Fireflies* when using this property (*Standard Materials*). This system has been significantly updated.
### Lumion Library Objects:
There have been new models and resources added in each version of Lumion over the years. In Lumion 2023 the major version to 2023.0 and some of the Updates during the year also added further resources.
Lumion 2024 adds another set of new models and resources. Notably 100 *Fine-detail Nature*: 100
18 Plants, 82 Trees and 45 *People and Animals*.
As always, these are provided for quick easy direct placement into your *Projects*. They have been optimized for use in Lumion real-time environment and rendering system.
This time for the implementation of the new *Effect Parallax Interiors* (see above, Section 5.1.2: Build Mode: Effects Library: Parallax interiors) there is the addition of 25 new *Parallax Interior scene resources/Objects*.
Overall 309 new *Objects*.
**Search and Tags:**
Along with the above is also enhancements to the *Search* feature in the *Lumion* Objects *Library* and new *Tags* to help make finding things easier. Some of these changes are in direct response to feedback.

**Materials:**
There are also 26 new materials.
And the thumbnail preview has been updated for better display accuracy in response to feedback:
### 5.7: Effects:
#### 5.7.1: Ray Tracing Effect:
This *Effect* received a number of changes.
Three key changes occurred.
1. *Presets*: a series of presets have been introduced for more intuitive use:
See Section 2.3.1 Ray Tracing Effect for a table of the preset values:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us)
If you change any of the settings then the *Quality* is reverted to *Custom*. F*or example you could set the Ray Trace Quality* to a *Preset* of *Balanced* (64 *Samples*) but turn *Fully Ray Traced Glass* to On.
See all the details for the *Effect* in this article:
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you use the new Ray Tracing Effect?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/7442305609628.json?hsLang=en-us)
#### 2. Fully Ray Traced Glass:
As noted earlier in section 4.2.4: Glass: Fully Ray Traced Glass and Shadows there is a new button.
Lumion now supports two types of glass: *Ray Traced Standard Glass* and *Fully Ray Traced Glass*.
*Fully Ray Traced Glass* can be enabled in the *Ray Tracing Effect* and will affect all surfaces that have been assigned the *Glass Material*:
See further details for the *Glass Material*:
- **Knowledge Base:** [The New Glass Material for Lumion 2024 and the Glass setting for Ray Tracing](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/12802058309532.json?hsLang=en-us)
#### 3. Firefly filter:
This is still made available for certain cases where fireflies might still occur.
It is now only an On/Off switch, whereas in Lumion 2023 it also included a slider value for making the filter cleanup a lot more aggressive.
#### 4. Denoiser:
The implementation of the new *NRD Denoiser* for *Previews* in *Photo and Movie Modes*, along with *NRD* for rendering for *Movies* saw changes in how this switch now works.
*NRD* is primarily for real-time previewing but is also used when rendering a *Movie/Clip*.
NRD is NVIDIA's Real-Time Denoisers - ReLAX and ReBLUR.
See also Sections
*Photo Mode*:
- *NRD* is on by default in the Preview and is triggered when adding the *Ray Tracing Effect*.
- The realtime preview is always using *NRD*.
- The denoiser toggle only effects the *HQ Preview* and final output.
- When denoiser if off, then the *HQ Preview* and Final image won't get denoised

#### 5.7.2: Styles:
8 new *Styles* covering *Ray Tracing, Rasterization*, and conceptual representation now replace the *Styles* from the previous versions
#### 5.8: Example Projects:
All *Example Projects* have been updated.
A new *Example Project - Museum Pavilion* now replaces the Glass House
#### 6. Technical Limitations:
**6. Update on Technical Limitations:**
The Lumion team has been working on a roadmap to remove the technical limitations that were required for the release of Lumion 2023. There are certain constraints in the integration of the *Ray Trace rendering pipeline* with the *Rasterization rendering pipeline* that still require further development post the release of Lumion 2024.
Please also refer to the *Roadmap* for Lumion:
#### Impact summary on certain *Projects*:
As in Lumion 2023 if the *Object* or *Material* is not yet in the *Ray Trace* rendering pipeline then it is rendered using the *Rasterization* rendering pipeline.
This means their shading (along with possibly some shadowing) and reflections may be inaccurate or not displayed. In one case, the difference in shadowing may be related to the *AO Ambient Occlusion* shadows which are specific to the *Rasterization* process and will be different from *Ray Traced* shadows. For example, *Landscape Grass* now receives *Ray Traced* sun shadows but no *AO Ambient Occlusion*, so the darkness at grass depth can be different in some *Scenes* depending on the lighting and *Landscape Materials*.
**Limitation in Lumion 2023**
**Change in Lumion 2024:**
**1: Objects**
*Animated Objects* (Trees and Animated Characters) and *Objects* in the *Effects Category* such as *Decals* are not converted to the *Ray Tracing* engine.
All *Nature Objects* are now converted.
They currently do not animate for *Wind*.
**Impact:** *Nature Objects* are now seen correctly in reflections.
Are rendered using *Ray Tracing* when rendering with the *Ray Trace* rendering pipeline (*Ray Trace Effect*).
*Animated Characters* and *Objects* in the *Effects Category* such as *Decals* are yet to be converted.
*Static Characters* work.
**Impact:** These *Objects* are rendered using the *Rasterization* pipeline.
Main: no reflections in *Ray Traced* materials /surfaces receiving *Ray Traced reflections*.
Animated characters will cast sun shadows but not shadows from artificial lights.
Not visible behind a surface that is rendered using *Ray Tracing*. For example when using the *Fully Ray traced Glass* setting and *Glass Material*.
Use the workarounds suggested in:
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you render the Ray Trace reflections for Lumion Animated Objects in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/9894760034332.json?hsLang=en-us)
*Static 3D Characters* might render with *FireFlies* when in an indoor space.
No longer observed/Fixed.
**2: Materials**
*Subsurface Scattering*, although fully functional is not optimized for *Ray Tracing*. This will be fixed in an upcoming release.
Upgraded to fully work and have *Subsurface Scattering with Ray Tracing*.
See:
above, section Materials: Ray Traced Subsurface Scattering
Section 1.4: Ray Traced Subsurface Scattering:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us)
The *Glass and Water Materials* have *Ray Traced reflections* but are not fully converted yet to the *Ray Traced* engine.
The following articles should assist in case you require a fully *Ray Traced Project*:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Changes for Projects to use the Water Material in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/8122055928092.json?hsLang=en-us)
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you make Glass work best with Ray Tracing (Lumion 2023.0.0)?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/8042853172380.json?hsLang=en-us)
*Glass Material*: fully *Ray Traced reflections*, fully included in the *Ray Trace pipeline*.
*Water Material* including *Ocean and Water Plane*: no change, planned for *Ray Trace* inclusion for version 2024.x.
**Impact:** those surfaces will not be visible in reflections only.
They are visible in render views.
Use the workarounds suggested in:
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you render the Ray Trace reflections for Lumion Animated Objects in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/9894760034332.json?hsLang=en-us)
If you have old *Projects* you want to complete in Lumion 2024, then see this article to help with transitioning the materials to the new version:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Changes for Projects to use the Water Material in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/8122055928092.json?hsLang=en-us)
*3D Grass Materials, Foliage, Fur:*
*Landscape Grass:* applied in *Landscape Mode* or as a *Material*:
Shadows are calculated using the rasterization pipeline when using *Ray Tracing*.
Those materials are not yet in the *Ray Tracing* and bindless materials pipeline so will not be visible in reflections.
No change.
Planned for *Ray Trace* inclusion for a later version/update.
**Impact:** those materials will not be visible in reflections.
They are visible in render views.
Except where you use the *Ray Trace* setting of *Fully Ray Traced Glass* and that surface is between the camera and the grass area. In this case, turn off *Fully Ray Traced Glass* and use *Standard Ray Traced Glass* (this would cover most usage cases).
Use the workarounds suggested in:
- **Knowledge Base:** [How do you render the Ray Trace reflections for Lumion Animated Objects in Lumion 2023?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/9894760034332.json?hsLang=en-us)
*Landscape Grass*: **update version 2024.4.0**
Now visible in reflections, fully integrated with *Ray Tracing* pipeline:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024: Update to 24.4.0 - Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/17050283132188.json?hsLang=en-us)
**3: Photo, Movie, and Panorama Modes**
*Poster resolution* is currently disabled when using *Ray Tracing*.
1.2.2: Photo Mode:
Rendering: The *Print resolution* is now available when using the *Ray Tracing Effect*.
Rendering: Lumion 2023.0.1 now displays the option to choose between the *Native* or *Optimized* rendering algorithm for *Print* resolution when the VRAM is low. More information details can
be found in the article below:
- **Knowledge Base:** [What does the message 'Low VRAM detected' mean?](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/8111188742684.json?hsLang=en-us)
No change.
There can be noise/glimmering in movies with *Ray Tracing*, depending on the lighting of the scene and camera movements. Low light conditions and fast camera movements are known to cause this.
Significant improvements through to completely resolved via the implementation of *MIS* and *NRD*.
See sections:
4.2.1: Temporal Denoising using *NRD*
4.2.3: Multiple Importance Sampling (*MIS*)
Section 1.1 and 1.7:
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024.0: Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/13059592095644.json?hsLang=en-us)
*Denoising* in *RT Panoramas* only works at the lowest output resolution settings.
The *Ray Trace Effect* has been disabled until 360 Panorama rendering and inclusion of *NRD/MIS* can be fully completed.
Planned *Ray Trace* inclusion for version 2024.x.
**Impact:** you can still render high quality *360 Panoramas* including *MyLumion* using the *Rasterization* renderer.
**4: Effects**
*Artistic Effects* are disabled when using the *Ray Tracing* render pipeline.
See section: 3.3: Post-Processing Effects
No change.
*Global Illumination* is disabled. This will be addressed in a future update.
The *Global Illumination Effect* itself is still available and you can add it to a Project. It is also included in the *Effects Stack* for prior version *Projects*. However, there are no results from it as it has been disabled in the rendering pipelines for both *Rasterization* and *Ray Tracing*.
Please use the *HyperLight Effect* as this provides a more modern approach to global illumination.
*Global Illumination Effect* has now been deprecated and removed form the *Effects Library*.
For *Rasterization* rendering, see same recommendation as for Lumion 2023:
Please use the *HyperLight Effect* as this provides a more modern approach to global illumination.
**5: Landscape**
*Landscape Grass* is calculated using the *Rasterization* pipeline when using *Ray Tracing*.
No change (see Update below).
Planned for *Ray Trace* inclusion for version 2024.x.
**Impact:** Affects only the reflections.
Visible in render views.
Use the workarounds suggested to get the *Rasterization reflection* in glass when *Ray Trace* rendering:

**Update:**
Ray Tracing implemented in 2024.4.0
- **Knowledge Base:** [Lumion 2024: Update to 24.4.0 - Release Notes](https://support.lumion.com/knowledge-base/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/17050283132188.json?hsLang=en-us)
#### 
## 7. Summary:
The new foundational enhancements for *Ray Tracing* in Lumion offer large potential to extend the possibilities for your renders.
*Denoising* the preview in real-time brings back that ability for you to adjust your *Effects* to get to the final render output you are after.
*Multiple Importance Sampling (MIS)* improves the quality and rendering with a potential reduction in *Samples*.
Animations are now back on the card.
And with new exciting to use features such as *Ray Trace Glass* and *Parallax Interiors* we all hope you get to make the best of Lumion and create amazing visualizations for your clients with Lumion 2024.
