A client likes the camera and the furniture layout but wants a lighter chair fabric before signing off. Keep the Lumion scene as the design record. Export the approved view, try the change in Vibe3D and bring the selected finish back into the scene for the other cameras. If you are choosing a subscription, use the Vibe3D vs Lumion pricing and feature comparison.
Start with the approved camera
Save the camera in Lumion. Export a clean still as PNG or JPG and keep the original beside it. Include the material edges the client will judge, such as the junction between the chair frame and the cushion. If another wall or the back of the chair matters, export that second view too.
Ask for one finish change at a time
Open the image in Vibe3D and select the part to revise. Describe the material and tone. Precision editing keeps image quality intact across iterations; version tracking retains the earlier options. Star the version you want to develop before changing anything else. Compare the cushion edge, seams, leg positions and surrounding floor against the original at the size the client will see.
The following files are from Vibe3D’s room demonstration. They illustrate the image revision step. The demo starts with a model-view image and does not establish which application produced it.
Prepare the client’s review set
Once the client chooses a finish, use HyperReal Enhance to develop the fabric texture, reflections and lighting in the existing render. Generate a full-resolution close-up to show the material beside the wide view. If you are starting from a model screenshot instead, Fidelity or Lumen creates a realistic 2K+ render using its geometry, camera and materials as the reference. For a lighting option, start from the selected image and adjust the interior light or compare daylight with evening. Label finish and lighting variants separately so the client can say exactly which one they approved.
Add a populated option with a one-click preset when the client needs to judge scale or how the space is used. Keep that image as another version rather than replacing the empty-room view.
Select the finished project stills for a cinematic film. Vibe3D generates movement, assembles the scenes and matches music, so the download is ready without stitching clips or adding a soundtrack in another video editor. Use a Lumion camera path when you need a precise turn through a doorway or a repeatable route. Both can belong in the same presentation.
Present the selected versions and send the review set
Open Present to review the completed scenes with the client. Favorite the agreed versions, then use Only Starred for a PDF export or bulk ZIP download. The PDF keeps the choices together; the ZIP provides the images for the client’s own documents.
A view-only scene link is useful for discussing one room. A project link includes all its scenes and versions, including later additions. Use the curated PDF instead when you want to send only the final shortlist. See the presentation and export guide for the controls.
Apply the approval to the model
Change the material assignment in the source model or Lumion scene, then render the saved cameras again. An edit to one image does not propagate to reverse angles, reflected surfaces or construction documentation. Compare the final exports with the approved finish before issuing the set.
If this is a single commission, a one-time Vibe3D Pro pack currently costs $39 for 200 credits with no expiry. The monthly Pro launch offer is $39 for 300 credits. Both include relighting and video. Keep using the Lumion seat your team already holds for scene work. Plans and credit usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Lumion export a still for image editing?
Yes. Save a still of the approved camera and use a PNG or JPG for the image handoff.
Does Lumion keep the original 3D scene?
Yes. Exporting a still leaves the cameras, objects and material assignments in the scene.
Can Lumion render the same material from several cameras?
Yes. Assign the material in the scene and render your saved views. This gives you a common source for a coordinated set.
Can Lumion animate a defined camera route?
Yes. Use scene-based camera animation when the exact path or relationship between rooms matters.
Will an edit in Vibe3D change my Lumion project?
No. The edit belongs to the exported image. Apply an approved change to the source scene before generating the other views.
Can I use Vibe3D for just this revision?
Yes. A fixed-credit Pro or Studio pack includes advanced tools without a recurring subscription. One-time credits never expire.
