And that means the next version will be full Unreal engine, Lumion is about to get some very serious competition.

I'll be interested to see if this is the case - the common criticism that I've seen of Unreal Engine is that it's very difficult for beginners to pick up.
I'm thinking this move might be Unreal's attempt to get a bit more user friendly in the Architecture space - if so, this is really exciting news

I'm betting this is exactly that and I'm hoping that it will even be integrated like Enscape is at moment.

Looks like a great opportunity, regardless of the motivations of their new owner — especially when you consider the price of the Lumion/Enscape competition.
Before registering to download, a couple of questions for someone more familiar:
Is TwinMotion Windows only, or do they have a MacOS version?
How demanding are the system requirements? -
If I remember correctly Twinmotion uses UE render engine from the starting
-
Twinmotion is using UE since v2018.

So cool without any tutos!
2-5 seconds / images very sufficient for Hobbyists!
Reload SketchUp, moi3D (obj, fbx) etc...

Thank you, it had what i wanted to read

When asked about specifics, Petit remained fairly tight lipped, although he did confirm that there were plans for direct synchronisation with other CAD / BIM tools, such as SketchUp or Rhino.

Lots of great info in that article - I'm most excited about the idea that Twinmotion could act as a link to Unreal Engine. One of the things I really struggled with with Datasmith was that the process was very complex and clunky - If Unreal can get Twinmotion set up as a tool where you can easily set up materials, etc, then export that into Unreal for full on effects rendering, that could be ultra powerful

I agree Justin, so far I tried a few models and they worked really well and EASY. So far a win-win for us.

Before I go in and create an account just to see the site... Can someone tell if TwinMotion is for the Mac?

Yeah i haven't noticed much and the support seems a bit limited.
There is a youtube channel though which may be worth checking out?

Seems there will have in no time a specialized forum here!
