Thank you ! Very usefull video. I have twinmotion 2023.1 and here I cannot find the vegetation tool for adding many trees at the same time, do you have advice regarding this? Thank you :)

Can I make a vertical trim of the terrain?

[abulense]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone in such an easy way. It is what I was looking for.

Thank you for this video Justin! Keep uploading more twinmotion material please

How do you make the library window stay open after placing an object? Mine hides after placing a tree, which is annoying. EDIT: Nevermind, I've found it. Twinmotion hides lots of options for no apparent reason, which is also annoying.

Could you tell us how to make custom hedges for Twinmotion? I've been spoiled by Lumion with how hedges can just be made along a path. The best Twinmotion can give me is a fixed geometry hedge that just deforms its leaves whenever I scale or stretch it.

Can't we just make geometry in Sketchup and add a "hedge-like" 3D texture to it with leaves protruding? Has anyone done something like that? Sort of like a fur effect on geometry?

Hey, Justin. Thanks for the video! I'm getting the hang of it, but the SketchUp direct link is buggy and results in missing faces/missing materials/creation of non-existent faces. How do I send bug reports?

So why would you use the border grass only along the borders? Why wouldn't you only use border grass instead of the regular grass to cover wide areas?

Nice works.. please advise can I import an image (ex. google earth image) then sculpt and paint it in Twinmotion?

The terrain changes as you approach and move away from the scene. When viewed from a distance and up close, the terrain is completely different.
How to fix it?
Thanks

I keep having an issue where landscape becomes part of a terrain object if I close and reopen a file. When this happens I'm unable to move or edit the landscape material. Ever had this issue?

Hi Justin, desperately been trying to find out how I can bend hedges. I'd like to place hedges around a roundabout and can't find any way to do it. I would have expected a bending functionality in the scale tool. Alternatively, I would use short length hedges to create a curve. However, I couldn't find a cut tool for objects / the hedges and making them shorter using scaling makes them look too squeezed. Do you know a solution? Ideas anyone? Thanks for all you awesome videos!!, Tim

Justin- Need help on the fact that the model looks very crude and low quality from the bat right when i bring it in to twin motion. As far as I know, I have used the exact same model and settings as I follow along with your tutorial video here... any ideas?? thanks for everything you do here!

Hey Mr. Justin. Thanks for the video. I'm new to TWINMOTION so the video was very helpful. I am using version 2020.2. I don't know if that's the reason but your trees are very different than mine. I like the ones TWINMOTION has in the library currently but if I could expand the Tree & Plant Library with more that would be great. I don't have any of the ones I could see from your library. Is there a pack we have to install or are the trees just different on different versions of the software. I've checked Quixel Megascans but I can't find any complete trees. Thanks again.

what is the name of the dubble circle tool

[DHanson]

Is there anyway to get more shrubs or flowers?? I'm wanting to use this for landscape design and selection of plant choices is low currently? Any ideas?
