Sketchup objects imported into ArchiCAD first and later into Twinmotion had problems because ArchiCAD does not support UV texturing. One final image showcasing the new Area Lights. There was a minor ArchiCAD bug when you import a scene in Twinmotion and change the textures to Twinmotion textures, and go back to make changes in ArchiCAD when you resync the file the Twinmotion textures you added earlier disappear and the original ArchiCAD textures reappear in the scene. The NVIDIA RTX card handled the polycount easily without any crashes. The new vegetation and entourage update with a much higher polycount add a nice touch of realism to your renders. Twinmotion 2020 delivers reliability and stability on the PC in this new version fixing many of the bugs in 2019.


We ran Twinmotion 2020 on a high-end PC workstation with 128 gigs of RAM with an NVIDIA RTX video card. Twinmotion 2020 runs on both PC and Mac but with a few different results. What makes Twinmotion so easy to use is the interface with simple controls with an easy to use menu for adding vegetation and entourage assets while customizing with sliders. It should be noted the better your video card is on your Mac or PC, the better the visualization and detail in textures are in Twinmotion. These humans are also animation-ready and a new animation path tool makes setting specific characters on animation paths quite easy. We will close by noting that Twinmotion 2020 features new humans that are much more realistic and feature details such as fabrics on their clothes at a level of resolution that is greatly appreciated for realism. This replaces the older BIMmotion system. There is also a new Twinmotion Presenter, a self-running executable that the user can package up for their clients. This makes exporting the desired images so much easier. This can be Epic sees this as being useful for attaching to piping, ductwork, and maybe structure.Īnd for experienced Twinmotion users, they will highly appreciate the new image thumbnails in the export panel.

It gives you sort of Superman Xray vision for just those materials. It allows you to attach a material Xray texture to an object and that object then appears transparent through the model. The new image thumbnails help immensely in organizing and executing renders.Īnother AEC industry feature useful for both collaboration and illustration is the new Xray tool.
