Hi everyone! Let me know your favorite tips for working with Twinmotion in the comments below!

[@vijaytk8977]

Is there any way we can add camera to custom path?

[@artembelotsky2316]

masoud kamrani it’s absolutely possible. Search in KZbin: “animated materials twinmotion”. let me now, if you will have questions. :)

[@rendericeib4513]

hello, what's your PC Rig?

[@georgenikas1219]

New to Twinmotion. Still in trial phase. I am trying to decide on what render software to use and this is giving me some go insight to what it can do. There is a lot to learn. Keep giving us this great information.

[@fredod5271]

Enjoyed this tutorial great clear and concise descriptions of how Twinmotion works. Would like to see more. Thank you. My favorite tip was how to break up the large road surface. Great idea.

Just looove TheSketchUpEssentials. He made me join the twinmotion family and what can i say, i loved the way it brought my work to the next level. Whats more i even started a channel just to display my work and growth in learning how to work in twinmotion. If you wish to see what i learnt you could go to Tiger Architects and see the growth and the journey. All in all You helped me find a fast, efficient and realistic way to present my work. Thanks man.

[@chriskeentechnician]

Definitely some ‘eureka’ moments in this video. Thank you for the tips!

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Awesome - glad I could help!

10 TIPS for Better, Faster Renderings in Twinmotion As shown in the video.. Thanx again Justin -------- 01 - Isolate your Grass Areas before placing geometry. 02 - Use Border Grass for smooth grass along edges. 03 - Use Multi-Drop to place random sizes/rotated copies of objects. 04 - Use the scenograph to control object visibility. 05 - Quickly replace objects with the replace tool. 06 - Create multiple copies of objects by holding the shift key. 07 - Use "apply to object" to replace materials in individual objects. 08 - Use Decals to add detail and break up large surfaces. 09 - Add Reflection Probes for realistic reflections. 10 - Use the wet pavement effect to break up large areas in your renderings.

this is a great video!!! im just starting to use twinmotion, and this has been really helpful!! thanks a whole bunch!!!!

[@AdeposiOkupe]

Thanks a lot. This was super helpful. I've especially been battling with the 'Replace Material' challenge. . Can't believe it was this simple to solve. lol. Thanks

[@3DGvisuals]

The grass painting feature and not being able to use proxies are two weaknesses of this software that I've spotted in my time trying to get to know it. It does a lot of things that Enscape doesn't do, but those two features operate particularly well with Enscape, plus the learning curve is a fair bit steeper with Twinmotion

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I think this is because it's built on the Unreal Engine paint tools, so it works the same way as those tools. From a proxies standpoint, are you having performance issues? Also, do you really find the learning curve with Twinmotion steeper than Enscape? Which part do you find more complex?

[@3DGvisuals]

@@Thesketchupessentials Enscape is about as easy as it can possibly be I reckon, Twinmotion is less intuitive but it's still excellent though!

[@daysena]

Amazing!! I loved and I learned a lot. Thank you, following you now

[@luluperet]

You're awesome! Thanks for all the videos!

Maybe it should be highlighted that these are all exteriro changes. I can relatively decent do exterior renders but I am struggling a bit making good interior renders as with the smaller scale then all smaller details etc becomes a bit noticeable and it often does not look great.

[@DevPalliSri]

Can you create a video, showing how realistic we can get using twinmotion (exterior and interior). Thanks.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

This is kind of a vague request...

[@helenavanheerden8455]

Hi Sketchupessential... you don't perhaps have a video of how to change settings so when i do render my image that my road signs don't disappear??

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I don't really know why your road signs would disappear - I haven't experienced something like this before

[@aerialscape5397]

Your the man dude!

[@Ecrious]

My biggest problems with twin motion would first be the crashes. The second would be if the FoV is low for an elevation view (in built elevation not up to par) you can see faces behind it if they are to close together. The third being, lack of align tool. Lastly is revit linking and how it doesn’t save your material on object overrides on reload, same with import. Speaking of revit linking, the fact that you cannot edit the link like deleting object or Not being able to reload from within the program forces you to use the export Fbx / import rendering the option useless. These small things Add up to a very frustrating experience.

[@mdex1]

Quality tutorial as always Justin :-)

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thank you!

[@stkbuilders2667]

Thanks a lot

[@georgespapillon364]

Always exited to see your videos about Rendering. Twinmotion, or Lumion. Very informative. What would you recommend for a computer to be able to run Lumion ? I would like to get a Windows machine just for Lumion. At the same time I would like it not to be overpower.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks George - I made a video about this a while ago - you can find it here - www.thesketchupessentials.com/mypc - thanks!

[@fabboullais6706]

Thanks man... i’m fan of your vidéos ... I m landscape architect, whatsapp do you think of the new version Twin 2020 ? I have many difficults, many error, computer out and problems...With the 2019 version i have any problèms !...

[@scouseness]

I would rather pay now this update sucks for me too!!

[@yacinehoceini6841]

The characteristics of the pc you use for the proper functioning of twinmotion? Thanks

[@tofocooking426]

Hi what's up! I imported from sketchup to twinmotion a file but missing some leyers, what's the promblem do you know?

[@richy7tube]

Thinking of getting a second or even 3rd GPU. Does twinmotion support SLI rendering if I want to really speed up my 360 video rendering?

[@bidaya]

Thanks ! Very helpful tutorial ! Quick question : when I render a roof (coming from Archicad) with clay roof tiles they appear flat. Did I miss something ?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Are they modeled flat?

[@bidaya]

@@Thesketchupessentials Yes they are modeled flat which I guess explains it all....

Hi, Justin, do you know if the free Twinmotion version have some of its features limited? It seems that the detail grass does not work with vegetation paint mode. It only works in vegetation scatter mode. Thank you

[@Thesketchupessentials]

This was something they changed around in the 2020 version - doesn't have anything to do with free or paid

[@oogieoo]

quick question, i use 3dsmax for modeling, and when importing the model, even though i have the units set as auto, all the props i use within TM come in really big! which means the original model is coming smaller, im guessing, any way to fix this? or any tips for .fbx importing?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

When you import a file, there's a little box for "unit conversion" that's set to "Auto." Uncheck the box and you can set the import size for your model I believe

[@amatarpeija]

Please, rendering tips for interior with multiple lighting...sometimes shadow and AO doesn't works well for me...Thank you for the great 10 Tips.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Like...more than one light?

[@mxmillo]

You should make tut on how to use probes on curved surfaces. I can never get realistic reflections...even when I played with UE4.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Doesn't the new version have real-time ray tracing? That should help (Twinmotion does not have this yet)

[@myrona1]

Haven't actively checked - but have you ever done a systems hardware recommendation for optimal sketchup workflow? ex. amd vs intel - gtx vs rtx

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Generally more for 3D rendering than SketchUp itself - SketchUp's system requirements are pretty mild - www.thesketchupessentials.com/mypc

[@gabyelhachem4349]

good day we have commercial center with residence flat you can do perspective video

[@luarngo]

It is very helpful but I noticed you have more blocks than what I have, for example you have numbers of orange trees, I only have a Sweet Orange tree... Same with materials

[@marlonmullon]

Hi, I'm still learning Twinmotion and made some rendering. It keeps crashing though and people recommend to upgrade my GPU. Can you please tell me the specs of your computer and what CPU and GPU you would recommend? I would really like to know what computer specs I should get since I'm doing more 3D Rendering. Thank you so much.

Hi, I've checked your videos regarding your desktop setup, and I'm about to order a new iMac for my work with Twinmotion. I'm looking at the 2019 27' iMac i9 8core 3.6 Ghz. My question: Is it worth upgrading from the standard Radeon Pro 580x to the Pro Vega 48 graphics card? (+450$) Rendering times are not my primary concern, my focus is to get a better performance while live editing the TM projects. I'm working with fairly large exterior scenes with lots of trees and grass in Twinmotion that currently completely max out my current setup. (Crashes and low framerates even in the Low setting) Thank you very much, your videos helped me a lot so far.

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Sorry, I don't know very much about Mac graphics cards, so I really have no idea...

[@diatecc]

Thanks a lot bro,this programa is amazing,how much can i charge for render in this program?

I don't know why, but the video image is broken, like a broken screen or something. Let me know when it's fixed, so I can watch it. ;)

[@larrykinglk]

Hi, thanks for your work. The benefits of isolating an object perfore painting grass on it is not very convincing…

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Unfortunately one of the updates they made previously made the grass not work quite so well at the edges. I'm hopeful they'll go back and fix this in the future, otherwise you'll have to do some stuff manually at the edges to fix the look

Hi why not use border grass everywhere?
