Want to render photo-realistic images directly inside SketchUp? In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Lumion View, the new real-time rendering plugin by Lumion. It brings Ray Tracing and Conceptual Styles right into your SketchUp workflow — no need to export your model or leave the software.

Whether you're creating client-ready visuals or testing lighting and materials on the fly, Lumion View can help you render in 4K, save multiple snapshots of your design process, and work faster than ever before.

☑️ Real-Time Ray Tracing
☑️ Conceptual and Photorealistic Styles
☑️ Works inside SketchUp
☑️ Quick rendering previews for design development

This is done using Lumion Render, a rendering software for architectural visualization. It’s a great 3D render software that saves a ton of time for architects because it helps you achieve the level of detail and realism not available in any other similar software.

Lumion Render is fully compatible with most 3D modeling software, including Revit, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, 3ds Max, Rhino, AutoCAD, Vectorworks, and many others.
