By utilizing the new NRD (NVIDIA Real-time Denoiser), Lumion 2024 can produce ray-traced videos significantly faster than previous versions while maintaining comparable quality.
Are you planning to upgrade from an , or are you switching from a different rendering software (like Twinmotion, V-Ray, or Enscape)?
"Is that… real?" the managing partner whispered.
Lumion Pro features the complete library of over 7,000 assets, while Standard offers a limited subset (around one-third). Lumion Pro 2024
The centerpiece of Lumion Pro 2024 is its fully integrated, optimized Ray Tracing (RT) engine.
Based on insider development blogs, Lumion Pro 2025 (expected Q2 2025) will include:
Place trees, cars, and people to create a sense of scale. By utilizing the new NRD (NVIDIA Real-time Denoiser),
For a smooth and efficient experience, investing in a high-end NVIDIA RTX 30 or 40 series (or equivalent AMD Radeon RX 6000/7000 series) GPU with ample video memory is the most critical decision you can make.
| Feature | Rasterization Engine | Ray-Tracing Engine (2024) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Screen-space & pre-calculated techniques | Physically accurate light simulation | | Reflections | Requires manual reflection planes | Physically accurate reflections, refraction, and global illumination | | Shadows | Standard, often softer | Deep, physically accurate shadows | | Animation Effects | Wind animations on nature models work | Currently not supported for nature library | | Suitable Scenes | Excellent for exteriors and large-scale projects | Superior for interiors and scenes requiring high realism |
The headline feature of Lumion Pro 2024 is the expansion of its . While introduced in the previous version, 2024 integrates ray tracing seamlessly across almost all material types, lighting conditions, and objects. Realistic Light and Shadow Behavior Lumion Pro features the complete library of over
form the cornerstone of this release. The new NRD (NVIDIA Real-Time Denoiser) is a cutting-edge, deep-learning denoising solution that cleans up noisy previews in both Photo and Movie modes, providing a much clearer picture of the final render in real-time. This means you spend less time waiting and more time refining your design.
Whether you use , the LiveSync functionality offers instantaneous model synchronization. If you move a wall or change a window size in your BIM software, Lumion Pro 2024 updates the geometry immediately in your rendering viewport without losing your assigned materials, cameras, or context objects.
