BRIDGE TO UNREAL ENGINE

Take your visualisations to the next level, with a new plugin for Unreal Engine that enables you to import Twinmotion projects into the Unreal Editor.

With this extended pipeline, an architect can communicate preliminary concept ideas— such as visually indicating the type of materials, lighting, context, and other project elements—in Twinmotion, and then pass the project on to a visualization specialist for further refinement in Unreal Engine, including accurate lighting and material scenarios, higher-quality visualization outputs, animations, and other advanced behaviors.

Presenter Cloud

PRESENTER CLOUD

Share your projects with any stakeholder anywhere in the world, with Early Access to the new Twinmotion Presenter Cloud service.

With just a basic Windows or macOS desktop computer and a web browser, users can view and interact with a Presenter file running on a high-end GPU in the cloud—making the service ideal for sharing work for review with clients in remote locations, or with colleagues during the current work-from-home climate.

MEGASCANS IN TWINMOTION LIBRARY

Twinmotion have integrated the Quixel Megascans 3D Assets and Surface categories into the Twinmotion asset library for easy browsing and access directly within your Twinmotion projects.

3D Assets include thousands of high-quality objects you can use to populate your scene in categories like buildings, food, industrial, and nature, while the Surfaces offer a vast collection of high-fidelity materials covering everything from bark to bricks, and from marble to metal. Assets are stored on the cloud until downloaded for use, reducing local storage requirements.

DATASMITH DIRECT LINK

Adding support for Datasmith direct link functionality, which is being developed to support connections between multiple sources and multiple destinations simultaneously.

In this release, support has been added for Revit, enabling you to aggregate multiple Revit files representing different stages or aspects of the project—such as landscape plans, urban context, facades, and interiors—with direct link updates; in future releases, you will able to aggregate files from different sources, such as Revit and Rhino, while maintaining direct link functionality with each.

Rendering Styles

RENDERING STYLES

Quickly and easily switch between different nonrealistic rendering styles—hidden line, hidden line shaded, wood model, metal model, white model (clay render), and default material—in order to focus on particular aspects on the design, such as lighting or form, or to represent a more technical hand-drawn style. The new menu is available both in full-screen mode and in Presenter.

NEW TREES, HUMANS AND WORKOUT ASSETS

Epic have added 140 new assets to the Twinmotion asset library, including 20 new Japanese and American trees, 60 furniture assets for populating gyms and street workout areas, and 60 new ready-posed humans, extending your options for easily contextualising your projects and bringing them to life.

LIGHTING ENHANCEMENTS

We’ve made a number of small internal changes to the default and minimum/maximum intensity of various lighting features, including Sun, Moon, Artificial lights, Particles, Vehicle neons, Street lights, and Emissive materials.

We’ve also adjusted the Auto-exposure and Bloom settings, and made a smoother transition between day and night.

Phasing In Presenter

PHASING IN PRESENTER

It’s now possible to include phasing in Presenter files, enabling you to remotely present different stages of your project’s construction schedule sequentially. Phasing can be played from any camera position.

We’ve added a number of UI/UX enhancements including a new Header Panel that integrates navigation help and a button for direct export of the current project to Presenter Cloud, together with harmonization of the “eye” menu across the Twinmotion Editor, full-screen mode, and Presenter.

HEIGHT MAPS

Create a better illusion of depth on large surfaces such as brick walls, with the new ability to add a height map to standard materials, in addition to a normal map. The combination of the two maps makes it possible to create a parallax mapping effect, which is a real-time approximation of displacement mapping.
