Lumion

The asset collections from A23D are provided in universally compatible formats for use in Lumion, ensuring a smooth and efficient importing process. Both 3D models and PBR texture sets arrive ready to integrate so that materials and textures link correctly with minimal manual setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using A23D assets with Lumion

Do I need a plugin to use A23D assets in Lumion?

No. A23D assets are provided in standard 3D and texture formats that Lumion already supports. Simply download the appropriate file (for example, .fbx) and import it using Lumion's built-in import workflow.

Which file format should I download for use in Lumion?

For most workflows, we recommend downloading the .fbx version of the model from A23D. FBX preserves hierarchy, scale, and material assignments reliably in Lumion.

You can also use .obj as a fallback, but .fbx is the preferred format.

How do I use A23D PBR textures with Lumion materials?

Download the materials from A23D and load the maps into Lumion's material editor:

• Albedo / Diffuse → Color / Base texture slot
• Normal map → Normal / Bump slot
• Roughness / Gloss → Gloss / Reflectivity controls
• Metallic / AO → Reflection / detail adjustments as needed

This preserves the intended PBR look while taking advantage of Lumion's real-time lighting and reflections.

Can I use A23D decals (cracks, signage, stains) in Lumion?

Yes. A23D Decals are provided as high-quality PBR Textures with transparency maps. Import them into Lumion, apply the supplied texture maps, enable transparency, and place them on surfaces to add localized detail such as wear, markings, or signage.

How do I use A23D IES lighting profiles in Lumion?

A23D provides authentic IES profiles that replicate real-world light distribution patterns. You can import these IES files directly into Lumion's lighting system to achieve accurate beam spreads, intensities, and falloff behavior. This allows your renders to match real photometric lighting conditions for a more realistic and physically accurate result.

Which texture resolution should I use in Lumion for best performance?

We recommend using higher resolutions (such as 4K) for close-up or "hero" elements and 2K for mid-ground and 1K for background assets. This approach keeps Lumion scenes responsive while maintaining high visual quality where it matters most.
