Rectangular views
Lumion 11's new rectangular views option allows you to place colors, textures and realistic animations in all your drawings, at every stage of the design process. Create eye-catching, dynamic floor plans, sections, elevations and axonometric views in just a few clicks, maintaining continuity with your other visualizations, without having to use other programs.
Animated appearance
The animated appearance effect in Lumion 11 Pro allows you to show the evolution of a project or construction through the power of animation. Use different transitions, make parts of your object appear and disappear, thus highlighting what makes your object innovative and unique.
Streams of rain
A new feature in Lumion 11 Pro - Rain Streams, part of the Precipitation effect, allows you to capture the serene atmosphere of being indoors and watching it rain. With just one gentle movement of the slider, dozens of dynamic, intelligent raindrops stream down the glass. A gripping detail that might otherwise take hours to create.

Volumetric fire
The gentle glow of a fire seems to draw people together. With Lumion 11 Pro, you can create a warm and inviting campfire atmosphere with a new object - a volumetric fire. Simply add a new fire to create an atmosphere of coziness and warmth in both outdoor and indoor realizations. You will make your visualization uplifting and naturally make your audience curious.
