Introducing Lumion View
September 12, 2025
Lumion View is a lightweight yet powerful visualization tool that runs directly in your 3D modeling software as a plugin.
Offering a fast real-time view, customizable Lights, Styles, and enhanced Materials controls, it makes design exploration effortless and enjoyable—helping shape, test, and present concepts with speed and creative freedom.
This release focuses on the Mac edition as a first release candidate.
It follows from the development and release of Lumion View for SketchUp (Win edition) earlier this year.
This initial release differs in a few major areas from the Windows edition:
- Rendering by Rasterization. No Ray Trace rendering at this time.
- The Environment: Sky for Sky lighting and Clouds is still in development
