Step-by-step to quickly create this custom interior style

Expose the depth of your interiors. Help viewers feel the space. And discover how to create this stylish and effective interior render, without wasting a second.

You’ve imported your 3D interior model into Lumion, added context and textured every facade and object, from the wooden floors to the weathered, steel beams running across the ceiling.

And before rendering the image, there’s one final thing to do — add effects.

Hunting for the right arrangement of effects can take time. Although the Style button includes eight presets for instantly producing an attractive look, you may need something a little more customized and better aligned with a style and mood you want to express.
