Lachmi Khemlani, Founder and Editor of AECbytes, traveled to Autodesk University recently where she covered some of the latest technology solutions for the AEC industry. Here’s what this thought-leader in the BIM business had to say about Twinmotion:
“On the visualization front, I was introduced to a new tool, Twinmotion, which also includes 3D immersion capabilities and has been developed specifically for architecture, urban planning and landscaping professionals to allow them to present their designs or landscaping projects in a realistic and life-like environment. It supports the import of 3D models from all contemporary modeling applications and file types including FBX, DWG, DAE, SKP, C4D, and LI3; it also has a plug-in for direct import from Revit 2014, 2015, and 2016. Multiple files can be merged into a single scene, if required. Imported models can be updated at any time, while retaining any modifications and materials created in Twinmotion. One imported, a model or scene can be enhanced by several capabilities including the ability to easily sculpt terrains and 3D surfaces, apply materials, modify natural and artificial lighting, and add people, foliage, vehicles and other entourage. What adds to the realism is the ability for all the entourage to be animated: you can draw the path along which people and vehicles should move, add waves to the ocean, make trees and 3D grass react to wind, as well as control the effects of wind, rain or clouds in real time. The new 2016 version of Twinmotion includes the option to make a Twinmotion project available as a free, self-executable file that anyone can navigate, support for project phasing, support for navigation using popular game consoles such as Xbox and PS4, and improved speed through graphics optimizations.”
