What's New in Lumion 2025?
For architects, designers, and visualization professionals
Lumion has long been a trusted tool for turning 3D models into vivid, compelling visuals. With the release of Lumion 2025, the platform takes another major step forward. This update introduces powerful new features that focus on performance, realism, and ease of use—helping users streamline their workflow and produce even higher-quality renders.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features in Lumion 2025 and how they can elevate your design process.
Performance Control Center
One of the headline features of Lumion 2025 is the Performance Control Center, a central dashboard that provides real-time insights into your project’s performance. Whether you’re working on a small residential layout or a large urban development, this tool helps you manage complexity with ease.
With the Performance Control Center, users can:
- Monitor live stats about scene complexity and system performance
- Adjust editor settings to optimize speed and responsiveness
- Quickly identify performance bottlenecks in larger projects
This feature is especially valuable for professionals working under tight deadlines or managing demanding client presentations.

Lumion View
Lumion View is a new feature aimed at improving how users interact with and review their designs. While detailed specifications are still emerging, it is designed to offer a more immersive and intuitive way to explore projects in real-time. This makes it easier for designers to walk clients through their work and receive feedback with greater clarity and context.
Scene Inspector
Managing complex projects just got easier with the new Scene Inspector. This tool helps you quickly find and manage objects, layers, and hierarchies within your scene. Instead of spending time searching for hidden assets or manually navigating layers, you can now maintain better control over your 3D environment.
Key capabilities include:
- Fast object selection
- Clear layer organization
- Streamlined hierarchy navigation
It’s a straightforward but essential tool for large-scale or heavily detailed projects.
AI Image Upscaler
A major innovation in Lumion 2025 is the AI Image Upscaler, which allows users to generate sharper, high-resolution ray-traced renders up to 5x faster—and in resolutions as high as 8K.
This feature uses artificial intelligence to enhance image quality, reducing the need for long rendering times while still producing stunning results.
Benefits included:
- Sharper visuals for client presentations or marketing
- Faster turnaround for high-res deliverables
- Improved productivity across rendering workflows
Fully Ray-Traced Water, Volumetric Light, and Fog
Realism is at the core of compelling visual storytelling, and Lumion 2025 pushes this further with fully ray-traced water, volumetric lighting, and fog.
These features introduce:
- Accurate light reflection and refraction on water surfaces
- Atmospheric depth and softness using volumetric fog
- Natural lighting behavior for indoor and outdoor scenes
The result is a more immersive and lifelike rendering experience, suitable for both architectural visualization and conceptual design.
68 New Nature Assets Including Photogrammetric Trees
Natural environments play a huge role in design storytelling. Lumion 2025 expands its nature library with 68 new assets, including 7 ultra-detailed photogrammetric trees. These new additions are ideal for landscape design, urban planning, and any project requiring a more realistic outdoor setting.
Photogrammetric trees provide:
- True-to-life detail and textures
- Better realism in close-up and aerial perspectives
- Seamless integration with existing Lumion environments
Children and Education-Themed Asset Collection
To better support projects in the education and childcare sectors, Lumion 2025 introduces a dedicated Children and Education asset collection. This includes 147 new models and materials specifically designed for schools, daycares, and family-friendly spaces.
Included assets:
- Classroom furniture and décor
- Playground equipment
- Child-related props and materials
This collection helps designers create authentic, contextually rich environments without additional modeling work.
New Templates, Example Scenes, and Preset Styles
Jumpstart your projects with Lumion 2025’s expanded library of templates, example scenes, and preset styles. These are designed to save time, spark creativity, and provide consistent visual quality across different project types.
You can use them to:
- Set up lighting, materials, and environment in minutes
- Explore new design moods and compositions
- Learn best practices through prebuilt scene.
This is particularly helpful for teams managing multiple deadlines or anyone new to Lumion’s ecosystem.
