The 4 GB memory cap in Lumion no longer exists on Windows 8. x and 10. This means that Lumion can use more than 4GB graphics card memory (if available) in addition to all available system memory and hard disk swap space. The result is that you can now work on more complex scenes with more textures on Windows 8. x and 10.
It is now possible to save LS6 files that are larger than 4 GB.
