From the way the light flows into a room, to the personality and atmosphere throughout a space, Lumion 11 makes it simple to express your unique vision of the project and bring it to life.
Every room has its own story to tell, its own unique atmosphere and mood. Perhaps an eclectic living room gives off an aura of joy, or a rustic country kitchen pokes at feelings of nostalgia and comfort. Perhaps it’s the colors of the room sparking an emotion within you, or the way it seems as if there is a natural flow and order to the space.
When it rains, a reading nook in a bay window can become an oasis for the book lover. A cozy and warm fireplace on a starry night can communicate unlimited possibilities for a new family looking to buy a home.
With Lumion 11, it’s simple to craft these atmospheric details into all of your interior renders, and ignite emotions with your design ideas. The new rain streaks feature (Pro only) instantly captures the universal mood of a rainy afternoon; with volumetric fire objects (Pro only), you can create the warm and cozy mood of a welcoming fire.
The Custom IES spotlights feature lets you recreate the exact lighting arrangement you need; new micro shadows for spotlights unlock a sense of depth and realism that pulls you right into the scene.

With the right tools, architectural rendering can be an integrated part of the design process, an activity that emboldens your craft and inspires your vision for the final result.
You will enjoy yourself as you render your interior design with picturesque views from the windows, entrancing displays of interior and exterior light, deep and beautiful shadows that reveal depth and dimension, and a perfect dialogue of color and texture.
The best part is that you don’t need to be a visualization expert to create professional, client-ready renderings. Lumion’s simple, intuitive interface saves you time as you master the basics and start rendering in less than 15 minutes, and the wealth of video tutorials and our extensive Knowledge Base provides the support you need to push your projects to new heights.
New feature: RAL color picker
Lumion 11 now features a RAL color picker to ease your color selection and accurately connect it to the European color standard. No more guessing, no more ‘close enoughs’. Show your rendering with beautiful, accurate colors to manifest the life and emotion of your designed spaces.
You can also find an updated color picker when modifying colors throughout Lumion, such as with materials and object properties. With RBG, HSV and Hex color options, it takes only seconds to visualize an accurate arrangement of color that illustrates the project’s real-life appearance after it’s built.

A stack of books on the side table next to the sofa, shoes hurriedly left in a pile underneath the table, a cup of hot chocolate on the fireplace mantel, still steaming.

In Lumion 11, you can take advantage of a content library with 401 new objects (some Pro only) for exteriors, interiors, landscapes and more, bringing the total in the Lumion Pro content library to 6,224 objects.
