Lumion View is a lightweight real-time visualization plugin that runs directly inside your 3D modeling software.

It leverages the model’s existing Lights and Material settings, eliminating the need for separate lighting or material editors.

This edition focuses specifically on Archicad (Windows) and builds on the launch of the Revit edition introduced late last year.

 

Lumion View comes included in Lumion Studio and can also be purchased separately. Learn more below:
