AI-generate your own PBR materials in Lumion Cloud

Product news

Create seamless, PBR-ready materials from real-world photos directly in Lumion Cloud

Mar 26, 2026

Move from photo to PBR in minutes

Lumion just added a new AI-powered PBR Material Generator into Lumion Cloud! This fun new feature allows you turn real-world references into fully usable PBR material maps to use in your designs.

Whether it’s a photo from a client, a texture you’ve spotted on-site, or a quick phone capture you made on the way to work, you can now transform it into a seamless, tileable material, complete with PBR maps, ready to use in Lumion Pro or any other 3D workflow.

It’s so easy to start experimenting and creating your own maps: just upload, refine and generate.

  1. Uploading an image

  2. Selecting an area of interest and preparing the material type

  3. Generating the material

  4. Saving and downloading the PBR maps
