Overall I was very pleased to use Lumion as its intuitive and fun to use.
Pros
The best thing about Lumion is that it is very easy to use in the beginning, anyone can start to render simple scenes without much effort. The component library is very huge, one of the biggest you can get in a software like this.
Cons
It is very expensive while we compare it to similar software. For professional grade quality you will have to invest more time and the system requirement to run Lumion is also high.

Easy Learning curve

Genuinely user friendly and produces one the best renders.
Genuinely user friendly and produces one the best renders.
Pros
When i first started designing, the prof recommended this software and i have never looked back. It has been my to-go software for the past 7 years. Learning it took me less than a week on basics and getting my first render done. Over the course of years i have discovered new and updated tools and ways of doing things. The layout is pretty much simple and my best software when it comes to production of semi-realistic photos and videos.
Cons
Of course you need a good PC to operate Lumion and for a very international software this limits some users. The fact that i have to pay for every new release is not the best pocket friendly option.

Easy quick renderings.
Reviewed on 2018/12/29
Pros
This is a great tool for creating immersive renderings and animations quickly. The libraries of entourage objects are great making it very easy to populate your model. Intuitive and quick material library.
Cons
There is a limited degree of control over the rendering properties and the output is a bit cartoony.

Pros
Lumion is the best when it comes to 3D rendering of drawings. I love the way he makes 3D rendering clear and the way he performs for video rendering
Cons
Lumion weighs too much. Its does not adhere to all computers, especially those with low capacities. Its handling is very complex

Lumion allows us to efficiently produce high-quality renderings for our clients. The interface is easy to use and quick to produce the final product. The cost to upgrade annually hardly seems worth it but at least you can continue to use prior versions with limited impact.
Pros
The asset library is incredible and they are constantly updating and adding more, regardless of your version.
Cons
It gets expensive to upgrade your subscription every year. When a new version comes out, you can continue to use your current version, but you will not get any of the updates from future versions.
