Twinmotion is now free
-
Until Epic Games build a bridge to unreal engine (realtime ray tracing) and
SU ( importing animation ? ) in november or whenever ???
I made this little movie. No patience to wait.

New update available with Sketchup direct link

A pity it is mostly aimed at Pro users but that's life.

This is also free and its great improvement.
Does anyone knows:
1 How to replace components from SU with Twinmotion Library objects? Only manual, one by one?
2 How to replace SU scenes with TWM cameras?
3 How to align object with ground? Kind of Smart drop plugin?Thanks.

To my knowledge components were not unique elements in Twinmotion: I imported 100 components of a chair and in Twinmotion I had a 100 groups without saving space and memory.
Nor I was able to create component in any other way, not even inside Twinmotion.
The only components were the one native to the library of Twinmotion.
Maybe things have changed with this new release that I still have to test.Gio

Very cool and ultra speed for give fresh air to your 3D Models!
Here Moi3D model...

Gave it a spin. Impressed. Very easy to get something visual in a nice way.
THE biggest plus; a few thousand nice library items for materials, cars, trees etc. Biggest downside; its a closed box. If you need something just different, you can be stuck.
They (epic) have said somewhere they intend that these scenes could be imported into unrealengine. That might make it really interesting; quickly setup something in twinmotion and switch to ue after for doing the more fancy stuff / tweaking

I think Twinmotion just put the big boys on notice. 2020.1 is out, low cost and free if you downloaded the previous version. Could be a game changer.

Has it got integration with SU? I know it does with Rhino.
Unless it is integrated like Enscape and to a lesser extent Lumion, it cannot replace my workflow
-
I am affraid that is not the same than the Enscape integration!

It does need to be said that TM costs $500 US but you will need to spend a minimum of $3000 US, and up, for an RTX grapics card. And for those of us who have GTX graphics cards they will be completly useless with TM 2023 as that GTX Architecture is no longer supported by TM. For those who make money from Archvis that may be acceptable but for others.......nope. I am assuming TM had no choice but to tweak it for ray tracing with the use of decals and mist etc bcause it flys in the face of TM's marketing philophy of hooking users on the free trial version. I can use TM 2022 and use ray tracing but only after using a patch put together by a talented TM user, not by TM itself.

there was a free version 2K for personal use ... don't yet existing anymore?

Yes there are free versions for anyone really. But they only work without ray tracing support for decals etc. so in other words you can use TM 2022.2 without the patch but with the cost of no decals, mist etc with path tracing on, you could still use decals ect, but only with real time. TM had major issues trying to get decals etc working with path tracing on and eventually comming to the compromise of it only working with RTX architecture and on version 2023.

Thx for the infos!

That's interesting, I didn't know there was a workaround. Would it be possible for you to post a link to the patch?

Just to be clear the patch is to allow PT to work with a GTX card in versions 2022 where PT supports RTX GPU's and not gtx cards. Also I do not think it would work with 2023. I did the patch about a year ago. All I can tell you it was posted in the TM official suport forum when I get time I will see if I still have the patch in my downloads but suggest you search on the UE/TM site and have a look for it.
