Render Elements should be on top of the list

[@rogeriopenna9014]

- render elements - scattering with offset, negative and positive, from face edges (so you can scatter detail grass on edges only) - water on path tracing - decals on path tracing - simple fur, like Lumion - edge softening on texture, so we don't have to bevel the geometry - dirt on edges

[@manueltlaches6441]

We all want Render Elements feature for next update. Great video.

[@LearnUpstairs]

The most wanted feature for sure! Unfortunately, their answer seemed really "corporate", hopefully they give the importance that it needs. Thanks, Manuel!

[@jaoguggenheim312]

Thank you for such an insightful content, great! My take, both tools are awesome, couldn't agree more with their comments. I'm currently working on TM now integrating it to my work flow from 3DS max. Thank you again!

[@thelumioncollective3037]

A very insightful interview! Nice work, and great to see some valuable discourse that highlights the importance of using the right tool for the job.

[@reinhardnjengakamau4015]

I must agree with you,my first time use of twin motion was very pleasant its user friendly and simple for beginners.Great job!

[@bakai.ibraimov]

Wow! This is so honesty and brave opinion from practic architectural vizualizer in front of Vendor🤗

[@LearnUpstairs]

Appreciate you noticing that! I tried to be as honest as possible as if I were you guys talking to them. Thanks!!

[@carvingtheway]

❤️ -Render elements of course -Dynamic snow affected by car and pedestrians paths -dynamic water -render videos with music and sounds -dynamic windows.. Such as the already existing dynamic doors -🥂

[@FelipeGuimaraesp]

I love Twinmotion! It's way good to use, but please.. bring Render Elements features next time! Thanks.

[@Dev1nci]

12:46 Light becomes more integrated in your design process also you can make constant minute adjustments without much cost to your rendering time (because you just rerender and a few minutes later you have 20 images).

[@victortrying]

Great content once again! My question, honestly, would’ve been “why TM and not Unreal 5?”. I really hope UE remains accessible as it is at the moment, regarding software licensing. I imagine most designers and architects don’t have the time to tinker with a more complex, open platform, but it can be an incredibly valuable tool. Having watched Sam’s recent presentation on UE5 for Archviz, I trust the continued support for years to come. Especially excited about the upcoming Datasmith improvements! Valeu, Oliver 👍

[@lenoll5548]

nice talk i will using that gravity thing more often, so cool!!! render elements should be considered immediately xD

[@alvaromier]

Amei essa entrevista!!

[@chengchengsong6175]

D5 Render is really good, both twinmotion and D5 are good, D5 right now have some features which tw doesn't have. Really looking forward you have video about D5 render.

[@studiomegamiarchviz]

Yeah, D5 has a bright future ahead!

[@thearchitecturegrind]

This was a valuable video!

[@LearnUpstairs]

Thank you for the feedback, The Architecture Grind!

[@richardvankesteren7013]

Very much liked this video, thanks.

[@peikai3110]

Great video! A twinmotion video / masterclass in the future? 😍🙌

[@Imaginearchitecture810]

Very Helpful

[@bellousow2607]

Great job guys will we have path tracer for m1 macs exactly M1 pro max macs

[@FerdinandHenry]

Photo Matching would be a nice feature

[@emeQve]

Great video as usual! I agree that TM's place doesn't really need to be "final submission" quality and that's fine. It excels at getting scenes together really quickly that look decent which in my personal opinion is absolutely fine for an Architect. We're not always a "Visualiser" or "3d Artist" but a quick and simple TM model may be enough to get our ideas through for design reviews, creativity workshops and even client presentations. Why invest so many resources at getting images to be "perfect" with post production and software that is very complex for tasks that don't require it. Don't get me wrong, there will always be instances where a "wow factor" rendering or even flythrough video will be required for a competitions etc..

[@ereceeme]

Great, just be carful what you do 33:02

[@LearnUpstairs]

😂😂

[@primodanel6122]

Hope to see twinmotion tutorial videos in your content

[@xmaersx]

Хорошее видео! By the way В версии 2022.2 у многих моих знакомых появились ошибки с текстурами Текстуры почему-то сами собой меняют цвета Лучше бы они поработали над текстурами,многие текстуры выглядят очень плоско, а предметы можно добавить и через Warehouse в SketchUp

[@bvrtek.]

It's just awesome

[@lochnessmonster4884]

Hey, Oliver! I hope in the near future video will be- Upstairs vs Show It Better render competition or a battle between you guys’ idea and visualization! P.S I loved all you videos especially the Fiverr gig one! Hope you do one more!

[@LearnUpstairs]

Loved the idea, Lochness Monster! We are actually working on a video where we redesign competition boards and both of us have to come out with proposals. But the render competition seems so much fun too! I'll run that by Steven and see when we can make this happen. Thanks!!

[@roro6209]

Just take the time and learn unreal. It will be worth it in the long run.

[@Dev1nci]

Why Twinmotion over Lumion? Would you really like the cost of visualising software to be ANOTHER limiting factor when it comes to design? The more your overheads cost, the less time you will have for design.

[@joyddeyto5345]

Another thing is how we continue animating in sequence, I can't find what number I stop or to beging in sequence animation

[@Dev1nci]

It could be nice to get sponsored objects like cars etc that can be used to fund Twinmotion giving us integrated real-life objects and quicker development due to increased funding.

[@Dev1nci]

Cool gravity 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@piermariabettiol5136]

what about path tracer for mac?!

[@oliverreald8455]

D5 Render is still leading if you have RTX cards

[@26jori]

Is Unreal Engine going to become the monopoly of all visualization tools as AR/VR becomes standard?

[@ahmadmansurialkindii]

It suprise on the combination of the banana and the orange shilouette

[@LearnUpstairs]

I noticed that only when I was editing 😂

[@mikecapson1845]

i used both fort a long time, and got a clients like Hariri and Pontarini asking for me, Lumion is better overall , no but. But then the question is D5 or Lumion? .. Also UE5 is a king, without debate

[@conmes3077]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jolu1621]

Thanks 👍

[@anabeatrizsilvaazar3552]

Eu gostaria de saber se o path tracer poderá ser usado no Mac? É uma pena que só funcione no windows

[@LearnUpstairs]

Acho que eventualmente ele vai ir pro MacOS, tomara que logo! Mas como não uso esse sistema acabei nem perguntando. Proxima vez que entrar em contato com eles, vou tentar dar um update no video sobre esse assunto. Final de setembro deve sair mais um video com Twinmotion

[@orcsbelgenetic]

I want dlss options in Twinmotion settings

[@PabloBatistaArq]

I wish we could see unreal engine 5 features on twinmotion. I hope this is on their list too

[@rubenjacome8252]

i agree but at the same time theres a point where complex things should still be a little complex (if everyone starts producing excellent results within a click... there no skill differential)

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

We need a way to pin things down in 3D space in the world outliner.

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Using the gravity feature in practice is helpful but can be dangerous without it.

[@victoriamarchiorato8439]

👊🏼💙

[@pranavgandhar4604]

Love u

[@JohanDesign]

Why not Thea Render?

[@conmes3077]

Love banana bread 😁

[@LearnUpstairs]

😋😋

[@ghazinspace]

NO livesync with twinmotion datasmith:(

[@alihussnain8569]

Can Twinmotion make a feature of exe. file for VR?

[@donkaveen]

twinmotion feels like playing mostwanted 2005.

[@nantawatphetnamthongwattan2167]

Is it possible ? For twinmotion to use UE5 as engine.

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

Not yet. But theoretically possible.

[@brianfong5711]

Just give us the holodeck from Star Trek

[@JCCGLOBAL1990]

Veo una contradicción con lo que dicen y hacen, hablan de qué modelan con ACAD (Archicad ) pero ponen la interfaz dé Revit, algo no encaja.🤔

[@LearnUpstairs]

Hey JCarlos C, it was because there wasn't good footage from Archicad available. Since Achicad and Revit fall in the same software category (BIM) and the datasmith link works just the same on both programs, I thought it'd be alright to use Revit footage to show how BIM works with Twinmotion.

[@HippieP629]

TM’s UI is incredible but why oh why is it not possible to add assets back into revit like enscape?? Please tell me I’m wrong

[@aethylwulfeiii6502]

No don’t go that way, nobody wants a coffee and croissant into their construction drawings, this has caused problems when a bunch of meshes end up in drawings. Contractors are old and won’t understand.

[@archist9789]

Why Enscape and not Twinmotion

[@LearnUpstairs]

Or why D5 and not Twinmotion too But I only voiced what the community wanted to hear. It was an actual question that came into the question box I did on Instagram. However, I think the answer would've been somewhat similar based on the conversation I had with Belinda and Sam

[@resons]

D5

[@marerubrum]

Twinmotion is greater than Lumion, at it's price.

[@LearnUpstairs]

Pricing is for sure what makes this fight favorable towards TM!

[@marerubrum]

@@LearnUpstairs Lemon one is really xpensive. For 2~3 seats price, you can buy a hi-end cpu PC and work with TM or vray chaos vantage for animations. I will not pay non- raytrace.

[@gyulailevi]

no render passes ! unusable for srs pro work

[@svsarma1]

Why no Camera? The navigation tools are so clunky

[@pranavgandhar4604]

Twinmotion is cost effective and qualitative, time to scrap lumion

[@ap1970]

The "Marketing" lady sold Lumion first than the product she is supposed to sell. Also, nobody care if she studid Architecture in "Germany". The Tech. lady is the kind of professional anyone wants in their company. She sells the product way more efficiently.

[@Dev1nci]

Photo-match Photo-match Photo-match Please

[@rootonesquare2686]

render elements, in my opinion, should not even be a priority to epicgames. There is a LOT to work on in twinmotion, and I wish Epic would focus on the render outputs. Would it not be better to NOT encroach in on another software's capabilities, it is rather like having an unfair competition....

[@matthewrecord4360]

Rip lumion 😂

[@LearnUpstairs]

Well, honestly I’m not sure. I think each engine has its pros and cons. For example If I need real-time rendering but also need render elements, Twinmotion doesn’t fulfill my needs yet

Enscape is beter then this 2 renderers!

[@ailmlvr5905]

Cannot believe the lady with the huge mic is the Product Marketing Manager for Twinmotion, she needs to be fired. Even I could do a better job than her.

[@DayTripperLennon]

I love this channel and Twinmotion, but my God, these ladies were so boring. Stopped watching at 10 minutes.

[@jackmossman7559]

Lumion is leagues better than twin motion… twin is the Walmart brand of render engines

[@robinpratama8897]

even enscape do better

[@henryglennon3864]

@@robinpratama8897 let's not go crazy. Enscape barely runs lighting calcs. It is extremely imprecise, even by real time standards.

[@jackmossman7559]

@@henryglennon3864 only thing enscape is good for is live sync with the model for very basic conceptual presentations with a client.
