LUME3D

We capture light, not pixels.

LUME3D records places in three dimensions. Quintas, cathedrals, cellars, palaces, hotel suites. Captured as scenes you can walk through on any phone. No app, no download, just a link.

WHAT WE DO · 02

Beyond photography. Beyond panoramas. The full place, in three dimensions.

We capture every angle of a location simultaneously. Interior, exterior, light, glass, water, materials. The result is a fully navigable 3D scene delivered as a single web link. It opens on any device, in any browser, with no app and no download.

    A photoreal place in three dimensions. Outside, inside, the river between them. One link, yours forever.

SIX WORLDS · 03

Six markets. One craft. One studio.

Each market gets the same craft. Tap a card to walk a public reference scene that shows the medium. These are not LUME3D commissions; they prove the technique.

Note · these are public reference scenes. Some are not perfect category fits, and quality and performance vary; they exist to give you a feel of what the medium can do, not to set the bar. Every LUME3D commission ships at production-grade fidelity and runs smoothly on a tuned in-house pipeline. The references prove the format; we deliver the craft.

HOW IT WORKS · 04

From the first photograph to a link in your inbox. Days, not weeks.

Small team, no subcontractors, no cloud queues. We capture, we assemble, we deliver. The same hands from start to finish.

Capture

We arrive on site with cameras, drone and a small kit. We walk every room, photograph every angle, fly the perimeter. By sunset the place is recorded.

1 to 3 days on site · operator + equipment

Compose

Back at the studio we assemble the recordings into a single navigable scene. Sky, light, glass and water are preserved as you saw them on site.

1 to 2 days · entirely in-house

Deliver

You receive a single web link. Embed it on your website, send it to buyers, share it with anyone. Your scene lives at your own domain, hosted by us, with no monthly fee.

Hours · handover + integration
