Lumion 12.0: Everything you need to know

2 November 2021

When you imagine your next project, what do you see? How does it feel?  And more importantly, will your client be able to feel it too?

Whatever you imagine for your design — a mood, a feeling, or a moment in time — you can bring it to life with Lumion.

Lumion 12 is the best version of Lumion yet, by far. With new features, a larger content library, and a more intuitive experience, Lumion 12 builds on more than a decade of development for architects to inspire your creative journey from imagination to visualization.

Lumion 12’s improved scene-building workflow makes it easier and faster than ever to access the vast content library, fine-tune effects and add the right contextual elements and details to your render.
