      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 ๐Ÿ˜„

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

                      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?

                          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 ๐Ÿ˜• you have to register there before downloading Twinmotion - did that work for you and if yes, how? I canยดt 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...

                                      prima - I think my facebook access would have worked as well, but I'm never sure if I want to grant any provider (or unreal in this case) unlimited access to all my contacts there...

                                        recently downloaded Twinmotion. So I compared it to twilightrender, which I am using for almost 10 years. result is impressing: Twilightrender took half an hour, with 9 passes in preset#9 , Twinmotion took 1 minute. I am not happy with the lightning, but 10 years experience compared to two days, the result isn't too bad. Looking foward the possibilitys in video and VR... little postpro in Photoshop CC

                                          I have some questions:

                                          I worked a lot at textures at my model. now I want to change the texture on a single surface to another texture. Is that possible inside TM? Is it possible to reimport to SU?

                                            Hi Jo-Ke - yes, editing textures within Twinmotion is possible - even in a remarkable extent through different material property channels. I do not know whether a "play back" to SkUp is possible ...

                                            (below my older SubD scooter, acting as test model, fully retextured within Twinmotion)
