What is Lumion Cloud?

1.1: Lumion Cloud Is

Lumion Cloud provides a dedicated space for architects and designers to:

• Upload renders directly from Lumion Pro and Lumion View.
• Share visualizations via secure links—no downloads needed.
• A smarter way to collaborate.
• Keep client feedback in one place.
• Manage approvals and versions across your entire project.

Lumion Cloud is designed to help you communicate better with clients, colleagues, and stakeholders—wherever they are.

Lumion Cloud brings all your renders, feedback, and approvals into one connected space, fully integrated with Lumion Pro and Lumion View.

 

1.2: Who is it for?

• Architects and architectural firms.
• 3D visualizers and visualization studios.
• Project managers in architecture and design.
• External collaborators (clients, consultants, engineers) involved in the architectural visualization process.

 

1.3: What Lumion Cloud provides

• Integration with Lumion workflows and file formats.
• Real-time annotation and feedback on high-fidelity 3D renders.
• Version control and overlay comparisons.
• Secure, role-based access for internal teams and external stakeholders.

 

1.4: What You Can Do With Lumion Cloud

You will be able to manage renders, feedback, and approvals through a Project dashboard, complete with version tracking, Kanban-style flows, and direct client commenting.

No more chasing down client feedback or losing track of versions.  With Lumion Cloud, everything is up to date and visible in real time.

Manage the conversation around every visualization, from first sketch to final sign-off.

Everything is up to date and visible in real time. Share visuals, gather comments, and follow project progress seamlessly - from first sketch to final sign-off.

 

1.5: Examples of some Use cases

Design Review and Iteration Approvals:

The architectural team uploads Lumion images, videos, PDFs, or 360 panoramas for a project. Colleagues and consultants annotate directly on these formats, provide feedback, and approve or request changes—all input is centralized and version-specific.

Client Feedback and Sign-off:

A 3D visualizer shares a secure link to the latest images, videos, or 360 panoramas with the client. The client reviews, comments, and provides digital sign-off or requests revisions, creating a clear approval record.

Multi-version Comparison for Design Alternatives:

The design team presents alternative versions (e.g., different facade or landscape options) as images, PDFs, or 360 panoramas. Team members and clients switch between versions, compare them side-by-side, and discuss preferences within the platform.

Project Asset Management and Team Collaboration:

A project manager uses the dashboard to manage all project assets—images, videos, PDFs, and panoramas—assign roles, control access, and monitor project status, ensuring the right people have the right access.

Consultant and Engineer Coordination:

External consultants review specific project files (images, PDFs), annotate directly, and highlight technical concerns, collaborating efficiently with the design team without full project access.
