First announced at the Second life Community Conference August 2011 with 9+ free major revisions since then. 2015 AND 2016 Avi Choice Award Winner! Updates for life are always free!!

This is not a SL photography toy. This is a serious photography tool for working in virtual worlds and is the first commercially available lighting system to use projection prim capability.

This is a best selling photography tool in secondlife. Just search the marketplace keyword "photography".
Considering something else? Look at how many reviews they've had so far in 2018 compared to LUMIPro.

Watch this video to fully appreciate the value of this system vs other systems. Also check out our 28 page PDF manual (who else does that?!).

LUMIPro is a game changer in lighting for photography in SecondLife. It was developed by a photographer RL who found the lighting systems available in SL inadequate and got tired of the limitation of rezzing prim and moving them each time he reposed his model. LUMIPro changes all this.

LUMIPro is a HUD worn by the photographer that controls all aspects of lights worn by the model or self. Photographer can adjust position, color, radius, and falloff. It all works in zero rez sims! The built in posing system controls ten models independently and again, without the need to rez for pose stands. This version contains both projectors for perfect shadows and the best eye management system on SL (121 position) as well as a camera and scene management system.

Gallery of LUMIPro based photos is available at our studio.

Technical note: Not all graphics cards are able to cast shadows. If you set your graphics to ultra and can't see shadows from the outdoor sun, then you'll likely not seem them with LUMIPro.

This product allows the user complete control! From positioning, eye lock, with or without shadows, preset lighting or create your own! I would reccomend this to anyone that may be looking for the best photo tool! The customer service cannot be beat, they are there to answer questions, help where needed and go above and beyond what is expected from any designer! Give it a try, you won't regret it!

My first review was rather harsh. so Im rewriting it.
now that Iv used it with more than one model.. i see the benefit to this system. i can get the models to add the lights.. accept the animate there avatar, then i send them for coffee . while i do my thing.. and with this system.. everything you need to controls the models are under one hud.. it makes everything so simple.. and faster.... The feature i like.. is you can take your model to the sim of your choice.. and get the pic you want. perfect lighting perfect pose. and it can be done so quick..

Klar man kann das licht auch selbst machen, aber ganz ehrlich, dieses tool ist so einfach und genial das es sich nicht lohnt sich die Mühe zu machen. Selbst ohne die zahlreichen Hilfevideos ist es problemlos möglich sofort los zu legen.

A MUST HAVE
full star full star full star full star full star Posted April 26, 2014 by Joshua Hexem

Seriously, I don't even know what more I could say or add that hasn't already been posted regarding the LUMIPro. I was skeptical because of the price tag but after I tested this baby out at the main store, I saw the potential and took the dive. Now that I have had the Hud for a while, I just could not imagine SL photography without it. My setup times have been cut by more than half. I have eliminated the need for pose stands and no longer have to worry about the permissions on poses to add it. This is one time where I cannot say enough about this product. If you are serious about SL Photography - you must have it. Just say yes, take the plunge, and smile because you won't regret it for a moment.

Beyond Words
full star full star full star full star full star Posted April 21, 2014 by sajaST

I really don't know how to say this. This thing is beyond words. I feel like i'm actually taking rl photography equipment into sl and I barely know how to use the thing (i've had it for two days). This thing is the best thing that's ever happened to my sl photography path. The customer service is beyond what i expected. Not only is the creator at your service but he has reps here to help when he's not and a group to join who has experience with it. 7000L is of freaking cheap for this thing! If you're serious about sl photography GET THIS!

Great photo tool!

Great photo tool for lighting & effects.
Only lacks pose organization. Separating male from female is nice. but loading of pose notecard lists like so many Dance HUDs is needed. Nice documentation online helps with the complex options available. Would have given it 10 stars is more pose organization.
