About Lumion
Discover the story behind the most beloved 3D rendering software for architects.
welcome to our Company Details.
From the attic to the world
In 1998, in the Dutch city of Leiden, two young programmers with a passion for 3D computer graphics founded Act-3D in an attic—an ideal birthplace for a tech company. Initially, Act-3D grew quickly, moving to a small office and gathering talented programmers along the way. The company became a pioneer in optimizing the first 3D graphics acceleration hardware, and their Quest 3D engine found applications in various fields, including boat simulations, training tools, and TV and film.
Recognizing the potential for architectural visualization, the team shifted focus to create a tool that delivered instant, high-quality results without requiring users to have a technical background. In December 2010, they launched Lumion, a stylish and intuitive visualization software for architects. Today, Lumion is used by hundreds of thousands of users in over 180 countries, including three-quarters of the top 100 architecture firms.

Philip Bartman
Senior Associate, SAOTA
When clients see a fly-through video with every detail, all the lighting, all the materials — it really gives them a realistic view of what their project could be. And I think that is what brings a sparkle to their eye.
Matt Zhang
Director of Design Development, The Luxe Design Studios
I feel proud that I can bring 2D spaces to life and craft visuals that inspire people to take action, to protect or conserve or enhance nature in public spaces.
