Perpetual licences cost €1,499 (around $1,496) for the standard edition €2,999 ($2,994) for the Pro edition. The current version, Lumion 12.5, is available for Windows 10+. Act-3D hasn’t announced any pricing changes. Lumion 2023 is due for release “early next year”.
Release date, pricing and system requirements We aren’t sure if that’s due to triskaidekaphobia, or simply because annual version numbering is becoming standard for products that are available on subscription.Īct-3D has just introduced one- and three-year subscriptions for Lumion, although at the time of writing, perpetual licences are still available.Īccording to Act-3D, the new rendering platform “will enable more frequent feature and content updates” throughout 2023 that will be delivered through Lumion subscription plans. The release also marks a change in version numbering, since under Act-3D’s current system, it would have been Lumion 13.0. Now available via subscriptions as well as perpetual licences The software will also continue to support traditional rasterisation rendering for users with older GPUs. “Lumion 2023 will provide an unprecedented level of quality that will simply work out-of-the-box.” The change will bring Lumion into line with other real-time visualisation tools like Enscape and Twinmotion, which already support hardware-accelerated ray tracing.Īccording to Act-3D’s blog post, “while ray tracing technology has been around for a while, the decision to bring it into Lumion now is guided by accessibility, stability, speed and experience”. The key change in Lumion 2023, the next major update to the software, will be support for ray tracing, making it possible to create physically accurate lighting, shadows and reflections in renders. Lumion 2023 to support real-time ray tracing on its release next year They can then edit materials inside Lumion, set up lighting and weather effects, dress the scene using readymade models from the accompanying asset library, and create simple camera animations. Users import building models from other software, either in standard 3D file formats like FBX, OBJ, SKP and MAX, or via built-in live links to major CAD applications. The software is intended to provide architects with little background in visualisation with a more straightforward way to create realistic stills and animations than conventional DCC apps. The next major version of the real-time architectural visualisation software, due for release early next year, will support both GPU-accelerated ray tracing and rasterisation rendering.Īn easy-to-use near-real-time tool for architectural visualisation workįirst released in 2010, and now one of the three most widely used renderers for arch viz work, Lumion creates renders of architectural scenes in near real time. Lumion 2023 is to support real-time ray tracing, developer Act-3D has announced.
