Accelerate your 3D design workflows by modeling your SketchUp model while visualizing it in Lumion’s real-time, breathtaking environments. With the LiveSync for SketchUp plugin, you can instantly establish a live connection for simultaneous modeling and rendering.

By modeling your design in Lumion’s photorealistic 3D environment, you’ll dive into the creative flow of design development and solve design problems by exploring how your model interacts with real-life elements such as light and shadow. And you’ll be able to enhance presentations by making changes to your model on-the-fly and rendering them immediately, beautifully.

Real-time materials synchronization

Feel the rough textures of a weathered concrete wall. Take in the aromas of new wood furniture, and remember what it’s like walking barefoot on cold stone tiles in the morning.

With LiveSync for SketchUp, you can breathe life into the design by applying any of Lumion’s 1000+ high-definition materials to the real-time, synchronized model. As you continue working on the design, you can tweak the material settings exactly to your liking and then save your material layouts for future rendering.

Live point-of-view synchronization

Synchronizing your design and rendering workflow has never been this smooth. When you rotate the view of your building in SketchUp, the point-of-view rotates in Lumion.

Find that perfect viewing angle, you’ll have the same point-of-view in Lumion. With live point-of-view synchronization, LiveSync adopts the SketchUp camera perspective, helping you work faster and effectively.

Automatic model importing into Lumion (no need to separately import a model)

By starting the LiveSync connection, Lumion automatically imports your SketchUp model. Continue working on and modifying your project even after you turn off LiveSync, and easily save and load your project for future rendering or development.
