Building a sense of place: objects in Lumion 9

In Lumion 9 Pro, there are 634 new HD objects* available to help you quickly create compelling renders that simulate reality. You can find hundreds of new interior objects as well as nature objects, vehicles and people, among others. 

Whether designing a building, an interior or a landscape, many architectural projects are intricately connected to their surroundings. Detailed environments and lifelike scenes can help viewers make sense of your design and experience it in a much more personal way.

Some renders, for instance, often need to communicate the real-life location where a building is planned to be built, while other renders demonstrate a vision of what a room might feel like for the people who will live there.

When creating scenes in Lumion and showing what your project will look like after it’s built, you can save time and energy by using the large content library of beautiful, high-resolution 3D objects available right in Lumion. And the best part is that adding these objects to your scene is virtually instantaneous. Simply search for the object in the content library and place it in your scene.

In Lumion 9 Pro, you can find 634 new HD objects for interiors, exteriors, landscapes, urban scenes and more. These include:

• 459 indoor objects ranging from high-quality kitchen appliances to seating, desks, storage items and other home furnishings.
• 91 new trees, plants and rocks from around the globe, including variations in shape and size.
• 30 new, high-quality animated 3D people, including men, women, elderly people, bicyclists and more.
• 10 new vehicle models, including HD cars, sports cars and SUVs
• And several others

With these new objects, the total amount of objects in the Lumion 9 Pro content library is 5,259. Continue reading below for a detailed overview of some of these objects.

459 new interior objects in Lumion 9 Pro

While Lumion 9 Pro came with a slew of new objects for all types of scenes, the majority of new objects are specifically for interiors.

Whether you’re rendering new kitchen designs or you just need to make a living room look “occupied” when communicating a private new build to a client, the new interior objects can help you create a beautiful interior down to the very last detail. 

Even for exterior renders, such as an apartment building with a lot of windows, you can quickly fill in the interiors to heighten the lived-in feeling of a building.
