Best sci fi show out there, cannot wait for 4th season.
Makes total sense, I use a 'space navigator' which is its name for 3D space, why not use it for real space? it works great.

I suspect that Twinmotion will disappear as a product in November, Unreal are launching 'Unreal Studio'at $49 per month, Twinmotion will be an integration of Unreal with the modeling app and it will be hands down the leader from launch as it has so much more to offer than anything out there.
I have avoided Unreal as the workflow was just too complicated and time consuming, now Unreal will be able to simplify and integrate their product with our modeling app, if it can be as easy as Enscape then they will be the winners and so will we.

Any idea if they plan to have a Sketchup plugin?

Has anyone seen anything like an equipment render instead of an architectural render?

Yes, they will be integrating into SU, but pretty sure that will be the paid version.

... 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...

Hmm, dunno, I logged in with my faceBook credentials and it was instant.

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.

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.

All is clear now! Abvent has sold TwinMotion to Epic Games!

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

Twinmotion will be a paid-for product in November 2019. Until then, download it for free as an early adopter and keep it for free forever.

That is not some curious ?

To me it sounds like they want you to try it out, love it and when the 2020 version drops you will be hooked and want an upgrade, if not then just keep using this free fully functional version.

Must be a false positive.

Try creating a middle line (center of tile) it will align better without huge gaps. You will also need to change your component axis to center of tile.

Soap skin expired, how does one renew it?

Reinstall it from https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/soap-skin-bubble

Current expiration is April 10, 2020.

I have no idea why the author makes it expire except it forces users to keep it up to date.

Thanks, unlike many plugins, once you install it one needs to restart for it to work again.

Soap skin expired, how does one renew it?

1.3 GB and it actually handled well.

@dprince said:

lol. I plan on using enscape for walkthroughs/animation

In that case I'd suggest a GPU with much more ram, 2gb is very little

Ah, I see my unemployed future.

C4D?...

Maybe I'm mistaken but you stated somewhere you swithch(ed) to Cinema, didn't you?

I am in the progress, Not fluent enough to give SU up completely yet and many existing clients are using SU so there is no running away. Currently C4D is adding value by giving new options, but has not replaced SU, and probably will not for a while.

Isn't C4D Polygon Reduction good enough comparing to Skimp? I'm asking myself (since I've got ProOptimizer modifier inside 3ds Max) what extra value will I gain with Skimp?

C4D? I was exporting from DAZ not C4D. Skimp is a lot faster than DAZ's poly reducer, in fact Skimp just as an importer is even faster than Simlab.

On one project Skimp imports saved me at least 4 hours, I needed to import DAZ characters in different poses for obstacles, normally this is a crap job of decimating mesh in DAZ, hoping geometry stays intact, clothing not intersect bodies etc, now I export full geometry to .obj, import with Skimp, reducing it 90% in a fraction of the time I normally used to do it. That was just one small project, cannot imagine the time saving in one year, well worth the price.
