I used Lumion for about 5 years during my studies with almost every project (with some exceptions for v-ray and TM) but i feel they fell behind the competition - i love Lumion and simplicity of the workflow with it but they slept over the revolution... Recently I used TM and D5 and feel they are more refined within RT/PT technology and offer the same or in some cases even more then Lumion at half or third of the price...
Still can't wait for video comparing all 3 toghether :) You should use same custom materials in all programs to see true difference in how each engine handles scenes.

The`ve done a really great job with this release ! Looking forward to Lumion 2023 !

And YES, Please release a comparison video between all real time rendering engines available 😍

Oliver, your video was so illuminating! It's like you turned on a whole new light bulb in our heads with your Ray tracing workflow. Lumion has never looked brighter! 🤣🤣 No, but seriously, awesome video; those interior renders are so elegant and elaborate!

I switched over to D5 from Lumion about a year ago for various reasons dealing with large projects; shorter load times, easier to load and manage custom assets & materials, no limits on number of scenes (could only do 10 panoramics in Lumion12), and of course ray tracing - at more than 4k... From all the vids I've scene on Lumion 2023 I still don't think i'll go back. Both D5 and Twinmotion have advanced rapidly compared to Lumion, even now after it's long awaited (and IMO lackluster) release.

Great video as always Oliver! 
I'd love to see a side by side comparison between Lumion, Twinmotion and D5 Render.
Keep up the great work!

[imadurrozansylvano]

Finally! A proper demo from the real expert, honestly their own demo didn't fully showcase the capability of their new ray tracing technology (if u watch on their channel).

Anyway, I'm more surprised by the exporting time of the eight scenes u mentioned in the video that took 8 hours to render, whereas in D5 Render, I was able to export around 40-50 images of complex interior render (including all channels) which approximately only took 1 +/- hour! My PC specs are a little bit better than your setup (RTX 3060 8GB) with less RAM (16GB)

This makes Lumion truly left behind by the other applications when it comes to Ray Tracing (some are free or cheaper subscription prices!)

With the given price, they really have to step up their game and catch up with the other software.

Great video, nevertheless.

When will the education version released? I can only download the 12.5 version.

[adrienngaland]

Thanks Oliver for this video.
I'm definetely looking foward to the video comparing all render engine.
Especially how enscape fit into the competition.

[guillaumevandermaas]

yes please make a video of D5 render, Lumion 2023, Twinmotion 2023 and maybe UE5.2

[priscakawang]

Great videos as always. One of the best review I’ve seen so far. Keep up with the good work.

[dazai]

Lumion 2023 vs Twinmotion video need it for sure!!

[anniemcguinness]

based on how my computer handles 3D grass now, it's going to blow up when it tries ray-tracing it... still worth it to see ray-tracing updated to include plants and how much better landscape renders will look

[apy-d]

Wonderful presentation! Is it possible to get your settings (against contribution of course!) RT in order to better understand the logic of the changes at Lumion?

[Mark_]

The only thing stopping me from trying Lumion and possibly switching to it, it's subscription based business model. I'm tired of everything in life becoming a subscription and web based.

[Riot]

Any tips for exterior Ray Tracing? Even when turning reflectivity and metalness all the way down on some of my lighter materials, I feel like a lot of times my models get super overblown and washed out even after trying to mess with color correction.

[Trimanonymous]

After watching this video, I think even vray offline render is much faster than Lumion's RT...LOL, Just like...the old version vray for Lumion.Even in the preview mode, So slow

[cheeese]

Wonder how you'll react to D5 Render if these from Lumion are enough to wow you😏

[bahaahalabi]

thank you lovely video lumion is still a hard software for me i am a vray and corona user and i still feel there is so much flexbility with 3ds max

[mohamadrezajavadi]

great video! now we need lightmix kind of option for lumion :D

[umangbhalani]

I was going through google and could not find comparison of render engines for archviz.

Would love d5 vs corona vs unreal vs lumion vs vray
