This is extremely helpful for my dad, he got really into using sketch up for his small projects, thank you so much!

amazing video, most simple and comprehensive rendering example and platform I've seen for the 'FREE' or 'ONLINE' version of sketchup. Kudos

FYI there is apparently a bug currently in Twinmotion with the normal lawn grass asset. When you path trace, the software completely ignores the length setting for normal grass and defaults it to something very low (it looks terrible). You can work around this by doing what you did and using the long grass asset (I just set the length to something very low like 1 or 2%). It looks so much better.

Great vid and info! 👍

does it work good for interior render ing?

Thank you very much, I'm new to sketchup and from what I learned in your tutorial, I think sketchup will my primary 3D modeling.
I've also made a walkthought animation using the free trial twinmontion and I'm still looking closely at comparisons with other 3D rendering software. From what I've seen, twinmotion is faster when it comes to animation, but I haven't tested the image yet, because the resolution is low. Thank you again, and more power.

Can you please make a tutorial video on how to make interior animation using enscape

Hey Justin! Thank you for this Tutorial. I have an issue considering the visibility of my sketch up model in Twinmotion. I imported it just like you did, but it just does not show up in Twinmotion. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

Thank you so much. So helpful! Does anyone reading this know other way to freely export from sketch up web to Unreal Engine. I am just so much in love with the program. Thank youuuu

I have downloaded it, but there is not "twinmotion" in the top menu

Hello! Justin. I notice that the terrain here is flat. What if the terrain is on a slope? So the model is split level. Also, I have a backdrop of trees like a stage setting. Would Twinmotion acknowledge that also?

It is possible to set some special names of materials in sketchup so it replaced automatically during import? I mean something like Enscape is able to do.

Ottimo video. Continua a pubblicare altre cose del genere.
