Overall, I would say Lumion made our Jobs easy by making Final image renders easy and effective. It doesn't require deep knowledge of rendering and graphics design. And it creates amazing Quality pictures for showing to clients, posters and all printable media.
Lumion comes with preloaded environment maps to insert your final design for buildings(3D Models) to get your picture perfect final product image. It is very easy to use, drag and drop menu, with very optimized and realistic rendering process and video walk through production tools. It also has vehicles, people and other objects packed library that adds great details to your final image. The redering is seamless and very quick. Overall, it provides you with all the quick fix ups to finalize your final render.
Though the process is very easy, at times the lumion engine is quite processing power intensive that it crashes background apps. And the final product varies on the Quality of your graphics card and PC processing power.

If you are expecting a high-quality, fast rendering for the designs, Lumion is the option you should choose. It’s faster and has many preloaded elements which will aid in designing a perfect simulation. But you got to have a device with high performance to use Lumion and Lumion works only on Windows operating system.
Lumion has the best output quality of renderings considering all the software out there. And from my personal experience, most professional designers use Lumion due to easiness and effectiveness. And with preloaded elements, the rendering and creating final output becomes quite professional and attractive. Also, it is equipped with many user-friendly features such as drag and drop, compatibility with...
Although Lumion is a good application for rendering, it takes quite a heavy processing power in doing the rendering. You got to have a device with higher performance to use Lumion effectively. And this is only available for Windows users. That’s quite a disadvantage for Mac and other operating system users.

I really like how quickly one can model and set projects
the interface and the ease of applying textures and setting of the models
very expensive for companies that are starting

For fast renderings, especially early on, Lumion is great. Additionally, the plants and trees render fantastically. The only downside is the potentially cartoonish nature of the final product. We have found that some materials do this more than others, but it’s hard to know which will work without a lot of wasted time doing test renders.
For architectural rendering, the program is really good about allowing you to set up scenes and get lots of renderings out fast. We used it a lot to do multiple renderings of different design options early on in SD.
The other program we use in our office is Vray. The materials in Vray are much easier to get right. Whenever we did Lumion renderings, there was always a slight cartoonish-ness to the actual buildings.

E' il miglior software di architettura fotorealistica che abbia mai testato. Adatto anche ai neofiti e a coloro i quali viene fornito anche solo il progetto dell'edificio e serve solo arredarlo, creare i materiali adatti per le superfici.
La semplicità ed intuitività d'uso, la possibilità di importare modelli di edifici creati con altri software, l'enorme quantità di mobilio, carte da parati, piastrelle, accessori, vegetazione, ecc, presenti nella libreria, permettono di creare rendering fotorealistici in modi rapidi e graficamente piacevoli dei vostri prodotti. E' anche possibile creare animazioni convincenti.
A livello di rendering grafico ci sono dei motori grafici della concorrenza (vedi Unreal Engine 5) che forniscono un realismo e performances maggiori ma sono software più generalisti e privi della libreria specifica per gli architetti ed arredatori di ambienti. Serve un hardware decisamente potente.
