Capture Character With the Large Content Library
When rendering life into a design, you’re revealing the real-life experiences that people could have when interacting with it, after it’s built. You’re using precise details to show how a room’s furniture imparts a certain mood, how trees and nature can communicate emotion.
- Lumion's content library - offers over 6,900 items. These include fine-detail nature items such as trees and plants, interior and exterior furnishings, cars, animated people and much more.
- Lumion's material library - consists of more than 1,350 materials, allowing you to create immersive senory experiences. Beautiful renders do more than communicate the material choices in your project; they ignite all the senses when they are made utilizing the many atmospheric effects, tools and content in Lumion.
