## Reviews

### "Make your model design realistic." — 4.0/5

> **Deni** | *18 October 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is comfortable and easy to use, has a media library that can be easily accessed to speed up my work.
> 
> **Cons**: Unfriendly prices and software versions that change too quickly make it difficult for me to deal with old files.
> 
> Good, especially when dealing with landscaping or building model information. Lots of easy steps to follow to get the results I want.

### "a great product to help Sell 3D designs" — 5.0/5

> **MUHAMMAD** | *16 July 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: what i like it its easy to use compared to using Vray in sketch up or other plug ins. Lumion is its own program, you build you model in Sketch up then import it to Lumion, after that you pull in the model you can add trees people and effects like water moving. render it for views, or even what i like is make a panorama 360 view for VR goggles or even just upload it to Lumion Site and send it to clients to view easily.
> 
> **Cons**: a huge price difference between the Pro and normal version some items you think that should be in the basic is only available on the Pro version and that costs almost $1,400 more. also a lot of trees and plants, and rendering options only in pro even live street views
> 
> so far it helps send the design aspects to the clients with min rendering time and even night time veiws

### "Easy quick renderings." — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 December 2018* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a great tool for creating immersive renderings and animations quickly. The libraries of entourage objects are great making it very easy to populate your model. Intuitive and quick material library.
> 
> **Cons**: There is a limited degree of control over the rendering properties and the output is a bit cartoony.

### "the best tool to model quickly and efficiently" — 5.0/5

> **Juan Pablo** | *6 July 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the interface and the ease of applying textures and setting of the models
> 
> **Cons**: very expensive for companies that are starting
> 
> I really like how quickly one can model and set projects

-----

### "Easiest and most complete rendering engine and 3D real time visualization software" — 5.0/5

> **Favio** | *26 December 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I keep getting amazed by how easy it is to render images on Lumion. You just import the model that you made in an external 3d modeling software and once inside Lumion, the magic starts by picking materials and inserting furniture, plants, select sky, etc. There is a wide variety of 3d models for furniture, people, plants, etc. The best part is that you can do all this in real time, as you move you see it rendered.
> 
> **Cons**: You will need a powerful computer to get the best results. But it is expected, not a surprise. Everything else is perfect.
> 
> We used this software daily for our presentations with customers and they got amazed as well, because if they needed to change something, we just did it in the meeting and they saw the new image immediately on Lumion.
