Lumion Pro 2025
Version 2025.2.2 · Act-3D B.V. · Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit) · ranked #26 in the library
Architectural visualisation that renders in real time, so a model becomes a populated, lit, weathered scene you can walk through and film without a render farm or a week of setup.
Read the installation section below before you start. The order of the steps matters on this release.
About this release
Overview
Lumion takes a building model and makes it look like a place. Import from Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks or a neutral format, assign materials, drop in trees, people, vehicles and furniture, set the sun and the weather, and move the camera. The viewport is the render, so everything you change is visible immediately rather than after a queue.
The asset library is a large part of what you are installing, and it is why the download is this size. Thousands of models covering vegetation with seasonal variation, people in a wide range of poses and clothing, vehicles, interior and exterior furniture, lighting fixtures and site details, plus hundreds of materials with proper reflection, displacement and weathering settings. Nothing has to be sourced elsewhere for a typical presentation.
Output covers stills, animation and interactive walkthroughs. Camera paths with keyframed effects, day to night transitions, seasonal changes, and effect stacks per clip. The pro tier adds the full library rather than a subset, higher output resolutions, the LiveSync connections that keep the model updating from the host application as you work, and the panorama and interactive scene exports for client review.
What it does
Feature breakdown
Real time rendering viewport
What you see is the render. Material, lighting and weather changes appear immediately with no preview queue.
Large bundled asset library
Thousands of models and materials covering vegetation, people, vehicles, furniture, lighting and site detail, installed locally.
LiveSync with host applications
Keep a live link to Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD and Vectorworks so model changes appear in the scene as you make them.
Weather, seasons and sun study
Set the sun by date and orientation, change season, add rain, snow, fog and wind, all affecting the scene physically.
Animation and effect stacks
Keyframed camera paths with per-clip effect stacks covering colour, depth of field, reflection, sky and atmospheric settings.
Panorama and interactive export
Produce still sets, video, 360 panoramas and interactive scenes for client review without a separate viewer licence.

Installation
Follow these in order
- Confirm your GPU meets the VRAM requirement before downloading, this is not a package that degrades gracefully.
- Go offline.
- Extract the archive to a drive with at least 80 GB free.
- Disable real time protection.
- Run setup as administrator and let the asset library install fully, it takes a long time.
- Launch Lumion, let it benchmark the machine, then re-enable protection.
Release notes
From whoever packed it
- Verify the archive hash. A download of this size fails silently more often than people expect.
- The asset library cannot be installed to a different drive from the application in this build.
- Scene files are large. Plan storage for the project as well as the installation.

Questions about this release
Answered before you ask
- Will it run on a laptop GPU?
- Only a high end one with enough VRAM. Below the minimum it will start and then crawl or crash on complex scenes.
- Does LiveSync work with my host application?
- Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD and Vectorworks are covered, subject to the plugin matching your host version.
- Can I import an FBX from anything else?
- Yes, FBX, DAE, OBJ, SKP, DWG and several others import directly.
