Lumion

Lumion is a 3D rendering software for architects. According to its official site, it began in 1998 in the Dutch city of Leiden, where two young programmers with a passion for 3D graphics started building in a small attic. That work led to Quest3D, a real-time 3D engine used in applications ranging from simulation and training to television and film. Lumion itself was launched in December 2010 to help architects turn imagination into atmosphere, emotion, and experience. The official site states that Lumion is used by hundreds of thousands of people in over 180 countries, across three-quarters of the top 100 architecture firms worldwide. The company describes itself as a small and passionate team of developers, architects, designers, and visualization artists, with 101 team members, 29 nationalities, 20 locations, and 47 local partners. Its headquarters is listed as Act-3D B.V., Hoofdstraat 10, 2171 AT, Sassenheim, The Netherlands.

Lumion began with a simple idea and an ambitious start. In 1998, in the Dutch city of Leiden, two young programmers with a passion for 3D graphics began building something new in a small attic. From those beginnings came years of innovation in real-time 3D software. One of the most important milestones in that journey was Quest3D, a powerful real-time 3D engine used in applications ranging from simulation and training to television and film. This revealed that real-time technology could help people communicate ideas with greater beauty, speed, and feeling, and that this potential was especially exciting in architecture. The belief that architects deserved a visualization tool that matched the quality of their ideas became Lumion. Launched in December 2010, Lumion was created to help architects turn imagination into atmosphere, emotion, and experience—quickly, confidently, and with freedom. Today, Lumion is used by hundreds of thousands of people in over 180 countries, across three-quarters of the top 100 architecture firms worldwide. The company describes itself as a small and passionate team of developers, architects, designers, and visualization artists, with 101 team members, 29 nationalities, 20 locations, and 47 local partners.
