Best 3D Formats for Lumion (2026)
Lumion supports FBX, OBJ, and Collada. Here's what to use for architectural visualization and what to expect at import.
| Format | Lumion import path | Best for | Pro tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| FBX | Objects → Import Object → select .fbx | Furniture, props, vehicles, multi-part models with sub-objects | FBX is Lumion's best import format. Preserves scale, rotation, and material groups. Re-surface with Lumion's material library after import. |
| OBJ | Objects → Import → select .obj (with .mtl in same folder) | Static props, single-material assets, simple geometry | Keep .obj, .mtl, and texture images in the same folder. Lumion finds textures automatically by filename from MTL. |
| DAE (Collada) | Objects → Import → select .dae | SketchUp-exported models, multi-material architectural elements | Collada is a popular bridge format from SketchUp and Revit. Includes UV data and material groups that Lumion can re-surface. |
| GLB → FBX | Convert in Blender: File → Export → FBX → import result into Lumion | PBR models not directly supported as GLB | Blender (free): open .glb → export as FBX with embedded textures. One step, 2 minutes. Gives you PBR textures accessible in Lumion Material Editor. |
Why Lumion Users Use Proofly
Full 3D preview before purchase
Orbit, zoom, and inspect every model in your browser before buying. Check polygon density, scale reference, and geometry quality — so you know exactly what's arriving in Lumion.
FBX with multi-material groups
FBX models keep sub-object structure intact so you can re-surface each part in Lumion's Material Editor — wood on a frame, fabric on cushions, metal on legs — without re-exporting.
Archviz-friendly polygon counts
Models on Proofly are real-time ready with optimized polygon counts — typically 5k–80k polygons. Lumion handles large scenes better with lightweight models; high-poly sculpts stay at the detail you need without scene lag.
Interior and exterior variety
From Scandinavian chairs to brutalist concrete planters to mid-century sofas — Proofly has the stylistic range architects and interior designers need for diverse client project visualizations.
OBJ + FBX in one purchase
Many listings include both OBJ and FBX in one download. Use OBJ for quick Lumion drops; use FBX for material-group control on complex props.
HiddenMark piracy protection
Every download is watermarked with an invisible code embedded in the mesh geometry. File leaks are traceable — so creators publish high-quality archviz assets confidently.
Importing Proofly Models Into Lumion
Step-by-step for each format. FBX is recommended for furniture and complex props.
FBX (recommended for furniture and multi-part props)
- Download the .fbx file from Proofly
- In Lumion: open the Objects panel → click Import Object (+ icon) → navigate to the .fbx file and click Open
- Lumion adds the model to your object library — drag it into your scene
- Right-click the placed object → Material → the Material Editor opens showing each FBX sub-object separately
- Assign Lumion materials (wood, fabric, metal, glass) to each sub-object by clicking a part and choosing a surface from the library
- Adjust scale if needed: right-click the object → Properties → Scale
OBJ (static props & simple objects)
- Download and unzip — keep .obj, .mtl, and any texture images in the same folder
- In Lumion: Objects → Import Object → select the .obj file
- Lumion reads the MTL file and finds texture images automatically by filename
- After placing in scene: open Material Editor to assign Lumion surface materials for better realism
GLB → FBX conversion (for PBR models)
- Download the .glb from Proofly
- Open Blender (free) → File → Import → GLTF 2.0 → select the .glb
- Go to File → Export → FBX — in export settings: Path Mode = Copy, click the embed icon next to Path Mode to embed textures
- Import the resulting .fbx into Lumion — textures are embedded so no missing-file issues

Common Lumion Visualization Projects
Architects and interior designers use Lumion across a wide range of project types. Here's how Proofly models fit into real workflows.
Residential interior renders
Architects furnish client renders with sofas, dining tables, kitchen countertops, and decorative props. Proofly has stylistically diverse interior furniture in FBX format with clean UV mapping for Lumion's Material Editor.
Urban exterior scenes
Exterior visualizations need street furniture, vehicles, trees, and pedestrians. Proofly carries benches, bollards, cars, bikes, and human figure props in OBJ/FBX formats that import cleanly into Lumion street scenes.
Retail & hospitality spaces
Hotel lobbies, restaurant interiors, and retail store renders benefit from diverse prop libraries. Proofly has lighting fixtures, display cases, bar stools, and decorative objects that add realism and style.
Landscape & site plans
Landscape architects use trees, planters, outdoor furniture, and water features to populate Lumion site renders. Proofly has low-poly plant and outdoor furniture models optimized for large-scene performance.
FAQ — 3D Models for Lumion
What 3D file formats does Lumion support?▾
Lumion supports FBX (best for furniture, props, and complex models with sub-objects), OBJ+MTL (static assets and single-material props), DAE/Collada (popular for SketchUp exports), and 3DS. For 3D model downloads, FBX is the most reliable format — it preserves scale, rotation, and multi-material groups that Lumion can then re-surface with its own material library. GLB is not natively supported, but can be converted to FBX using Blender (free, one-step export).
How do I import FBX into Lumion?▾
In Lumion, open the Objects panel → click the Import Object button (the + icon) → navigate to your .fbx file → click Open. Lumion imports the model and adds it to your object library. After import, right-click the model in the scene to assign Lumion materials (wood, metal, fabric, glass) using the Material Editor. Lumion reads the original material groups from FBX so each sub-object can receive a different Lumion material.
Does Lumion support OBJ files?▾
Yes. Lumion supports OBJ+MTL. Keep the .obj and .mtl files in the same folder before importing. Go to Objects → Import → select the .obj file. Lumion reads diffuse colors and UV data from the MTL. For textured models, place the texture image files in the same folder as the OBJ — Lumion will find them automatically. After import, you can swap to Lumion's own high-quality materials in the Material Editor.
What types of 3D models work best in Lumion?▾
Lumion is optimized for large architectural scenes, so low-to-medium polygon models perform best. Ideal imports: furniture (chairs, tables, sofas), interior props (lamps, vases, books), architectural details (doors, windows, railings), vehicles (cars, bikes), exterior props (benches, bollards, fences), and decorative objects. High-poly models (over 100k triangles) should be simplified before import — Lumion re-renders everything in real time.
Can I use Proofly models in commercial Lumion renders?▾
Yes — with the Commercial license (shown on each listing), you can use models in client renders, architectural presentations, marketing materials, and project visualizations. The license is shown on every Proofly listing before purchase: Personal (private projects only), Commercial (client work, presentations), or Extended (resellable assets).
How do I convert GLB to FBX for Lumion?▾
Use Blender (free): File → Import → GLTF 2.0 → select your .glb file → then File → Export → FBX → export settings: scale 1.0, Path Mode = Copy, embed textures. This produces an FBX that Lumion imports cleanly with correct scale and UV data. Alternatively, use the free online converter at products.aspose.com/3d — upload GLB, download FBX, import into Lumion.
