Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Lumion review" April 29, 2021 4.0 Doesn't fulfill my expectations on 3D renderings. You have to invest a lot on a great video card if you want to have a good experience. Pros I liked the lighting simulation and the overall quality of the rendering, although it's not completely adequate and accurate. Cons Usage of videocard - the more RAM on your VC the better . Otherwise, if you use a card with 4gb RAM, for example, it will be very slow only to look around in your model. Of course, it depends on the complexity of the scenes. Reason for choosing Lumion Better interface and ease of use.
