From Revit to Twinmotion Tutorial - Modern Barn (Episode 03)

In Episode 03 of our modern barn series we take our Revit model in to Twinmotion. This tutorial will walk through the process of adding materials, vegetation, entourage, and even updating your scene with an entirely new design option!

Nice - thanks for this. At 19:35 you propose a little tip to help isolate the terrain for grass painting, but it doesn't resolve the real problem. If you again replace the terrain mesh with a new one, you will lose your foliage yet again. This is a problem, and I hope the developers find a way to re-link foliage to updated/ replace base meshes. I've lost hours of work having to re-place painted foliage. They need to realize that terrain changes frequently during design iterations in most projects.

[@TheRevitKid]

The other tip I suggest (but didnt mention in this video) is to bring in your topography SEPARATE from your building. So, if your building changes A LOT, you arent refreshing the topography model all the time (and potentially losing the painted vegetation). Not sure there is much to do about that issue.... As you are painting on a mesh surface and that mesh surface gets replaced and potentially modified

[@max22able]

@@TheRevitKid Yes - I always have a "TERRAIN" fbx separate from the main model for this reason. Still, foliage is lost with every refresh of that terrain model. My work-around is to apply foliage to a "dummy" terrain which is switched off during renders. That way, if the displayed terrain has been changed then the foliage is not lost because it's connected to the dummy. It's still a problem though if the new terrain has, for instance, some new lowered areas around a building. The foliage (connected to the dummy) will appear to float over the lowered terrain. You're right - not much can be done - but Epic could create a new kind of "dynamic geometry" that can re-connect foliage to it's revised z-depths on each refresh.

How is this tutorials in this insane speed ? 😅

Hi, did you post process these views before showing your client?

[@TheRevitKid]

Just a little bit of color correction... yes. Nothing more than that.

[@TheRevitKid]

Look at this video... around 39 minutes I show basically the extent of my color correction: kzbin.info00-lkTbX0lI?feature=share

[@mohammedalsenaid6289]

Is there any way you can soften the model edges through the material editor?

[@TheRevitKid]

No… Not the I am aware of. You’d have to chafer the mesh edges.

Hi I have question about Revit .... after drawing pipes ( without any connection with mechanical equipment ) , how can i change pipes SYSTEM TYPES ? actuallu there arent options in project browser when you select the pipes . Two system type ( Hydronic and HHSW ) are seen, but i want Fire Protection Wet the mentioned system ( fire protection wet ) can be seen in Pipe system but doent shown in project browser thanks
