Twinmotion is now free

Yesterday I worked with twinmotion untill night and renderd my first 3D 360 pano video in 4K for oculus rift. Ok 20 seconds took 7 hours to render but the result is impressive.

I have many new ideas

What a nice app. I was waiting for it for years

360 pano video!! I'm going to have to try this out, I've been looking for that capability in a real-time renderer (that's not Lumion.) What hardware are you using to render?

Anyone play with the BIMotion yet. I am able to get it to work but the resolution just looks horrible but still images look good. Is there some sort of setting for better looking export?

Absolutly amazing! Any personnage can have behaviour of any other!

is it possible to change the backgroundsphere to my own equirectangular pano?

here's a video of a current project. This is really the advantige of Twinmotion. Videos are rendered very quick. this one took less then 10 minutes to render.

10 minutes! That sounds fantastic. I hope I have time to look at this soon--it will save time in the future. Nice work, Jo-ke.

Played around with this for about a day but sadly my old laptop is just not up to the task. Great features but frustrating when a simple edit takes forever. Anyhow had fun with this existing model of a B'n B Dining Room posted below and really like Felix the kitty sitting by the door.

Thank you.

I wasn't abble to find the dome but I am experimenting with a textured sphere made in SU and imported to tm.... Let's see if it works...

Seems yes

Minute 0.57 second video! Sorry in French... but here the transllation

The key is to use a textured dome for create a "context"

Step 1 - Load textured examples created by Jesus Carbajal

Step 2 - Save them inside user Library of Twinmotion

Step 3 - Launch TwinMotion. Domes are organized bottom of the user Library.
drag & drop them to the scene

Step 4 - Select the Dome's texture with the ink-dropper. Like this you open the dock of the materials parameters where you can adjust the texture's position.

Use these domes as example, for create your own environement, you can replace the texture by another 360° images.

PS Not sure you can with these free version.

You can find the doms here

But where is the User Library folder on computer inside this TwinMotion version for input these files ...that's the mystery!
And make our own tmi another one!

Maybe also try with the Library/ Volume/ Sphere Reflexion Probe...

jo-ke

thank you.

I will have a look

here's a new video

Solution of the localisation Path for the Domes files tmi above so you put them inside!
"C:\Users\your_user_name\Documents\Twinmotion2019\UserLibrary"

Thx Tenrev at the Forum Biblio3D

Stay the problem : how generate new landscapes 360° like the domes above?

this whole dom process remains a mystery to me. Pilou, where exactly does your link lead to?

jo-ke

I can paste the dome to my model but when I change the texture the old one remains and is someway overlapped to the new one.... Strange...

Also in the lower parts there is Fog. Now Idea how to erase the fog....

pilou

@HornOox if you scrool inside my above link, you will found these domes used in the tutorial video(s)

1.Download the textured dome examples created in .tmi format.

@Joke : no special problem for me : exactly like the videos !
Maybe Meteo / Effects/ Pollution are enable for any reasons ?

pilou

And bingo I have found the trick for made our own "Texture 360°"

From this image (or any image of anything) here mine MagicaVoxel image!

You obtain that! Alas (you must make some rotate because here we are just on the seam ! : )
So Ink-Dropper/ Scale / Offset for have it on the back! (not made here)

Vegetable Menu / Materials Menu

Take any texture - Clic "Color Plus" to get the Texture Menu
Apply this texture to the dome! (Drag & Drop)
Click on "Texture" word - load any image
Right Click on the Control Globe that contains the new Texture / Add to User Library
The native texture is obviously not destroyed!

You get your own personalized "Texture Dome"! The famous".tmi" file!

Last but not the least : how make the "domes above" (surrely with a sphere Glass Double Face etc...)

@Joke
About fog!

So. . .I just downloaded the engine. I must say the videos look fun. .. but I hope this doesn't end up giving me a headache. Thea is hard enough for me. . .

pilou

No headache! It's one of the more friendly interface that you can find!
No need to be a 3D veteran for use it!

david_h

Thanks Pilou. I would think I AM a 3D veteren... . just not a very good one.

david_h

Thank you! That was terrific! I'm going to go thru some Tuts this weekend!

Thx
