A couple of things to note before you read my review of Lumion 9 to provide a little context and history.
First, I have been an avid Lumion user and fan for over five years now. It has been, and continues to be, my main software for renderings and videos.
Second, I have reviewed previous version of Lumion and you should read those before reading this review. They provide my commentary on features that still exist in Lumion and give you a sense of how the software has grown:
Lumion Reviews Over the Years:
Lumion 5.0 - From Revit to Lumion: The Ultimate Review
Lumion 7.0 - From Revit to Lumion: The Ultimate Review (Revisited)
Lumion 8.0 - From Revit to Lumion: The Ultimate Review #3
Finally, be sure to read/view this entire review (especially the conclusion). When I review a software on the blog I have two rules: It must be a software that I have used to a significant capacity (ie. completed actual projects on it and had a chance to really “dig in”), and it must be an honest review (no holding back, even if the company offers me a “review copy”, etc…).
So, here we go...
