Twinmotion is now free
-
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!

I'm a user of Twinmotion and one of the things that has always been subpar is the lack of a true manual. In previous versions there existed printed directions for things. In the 2019 version, Abvent only had short videos for instructions. No speech, just try to see where the mouse is going and figure out what was happening. I am sure this was to avoid creating a printed manual in several languages. Lumion in this respect is far superior. That being said, Twinmotion is very easy to use and the results are quick. I think the acquisition by Epic is great and that Twinmotion will get much better (it's already good) with their level of support.

... an embarrassing question
you have to register there before downloading Twinmotion - did that work for you and if yes, how? I can´t get it to work ...
I went to the login page, filled in all the informations, chose a password, confirmed not to be a robot and clicked send - well, now I expected to get an email, but nothing happens... -
