Twinmotion 2025 ecosystem

Can't remember the original company's name that developed TM. But Epic obviously saw a very robust and clever use of UE to acquire it.

Epic has a long tradition on either acquiring tech and reducing costs to buy or making it free. So I would be confident they won't reverse course.

I don't use it so if they do change I won't be sore...

I just want SketchUp to remove the yearly charge and let me purchase perpetual as I see fit.

Having found that gravy train, not likely to change is it?

I wouldn't go that far. They need a recurring payment model to continue development.

But an option like a SketchUp only app without all the extra bells and whistles.

I have never used Trimble Connect, the web based app or mobile apps etc. So for me its just a bunch of stuff.

I don't need a swiss army knife. I just want a knife....one can dream

I have to concur there, very little use for sharing a model with folk who do not exist. Much like microsnot onedrive removing files from my pc and inviting me to buy extra storage in the cloud or lose access to my files and email. Lots of programs suffering from bloat but the return to simple times, unlikely now.
Too much invested in hardware/software sales which is a circular arguement if ever I saw one.
Brings me back to sawing wood, something I would prefer to do than argue with microsnot empoloyee's over why they think it legal or appropriate to steal my files and folders without consent.
Wow, irritated bar steward mode on or what.......

@Rich-O-Brien I'm not sure you'd grab 5090 for $2k in 2025/26. As usual it's 10k now

10 K Dollars?

@rv1974 Serious? mind blown, is it a supply demand thing?

Rich O Brien

Scalpers buying up all stock to make profit.

I’d say wait until this period lapses before buying a 5090 if you’ve that type of disposable cash.

It may have something to do with the chip shortages.
