Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about the new Twinmotion 2022 features in the comments below! :)

Definitly Hdri ! im part of the technical team and i was pushing that feature for future releases .. im happy they listened lolll,

[SeacoastHD]

I was at the Build Event yesterday and joined the developer lounge for Twinmotion, this release is just scratching the surface of what’s to come, they emphasized their goal is on stability which is why they are spreading out the new features a bit. Assets are also now cloud based going forward and will no longer be dependent on the release cycle of Twinmotion. They discussed releasing lots of new assets including plants in the next several months. Lumion still has some advantages with their vast feature set and library, but Twinmotion is nipping at their heels. D5 Render is another one that is up and coming.

Thanks so much Justin!
This is what makes this time period and this industy so exciting!
Companies like Epic with imaginative offers like Unreal, MetaHumans, and Twinmotion really listening to their users and taking their request and wishlists seriously.
These new features and foregleams are definite game-changers and should make Lumion, Vray, and the other overpricing producers sit up, pay attention, and be scared....be very scared.
The future is DEFINITELY EPIC!

It is interesting to compare how Twinmotion improves compared to Lumion - they both released new version right around same date and Twinmotion seems to include much more innovation and listen to users. Definitely great update for Twinmotion, excited to test it soon :)

the development is sooo fastt. before i wished they had height map and here they are with height map ray tracing skydome and assets omg. it took big memory and quite a lot of time to open and save it on my laptop but during the work not much problem. like it

[jordanfriday]

The only thing I really, really want is better animation tools. They don't have to be crazy in depth, I just want to be able to easily say "move this box from here to here, and rotate as it moves". Currently this doesn't seem to be possible with the current movement tools, not to mention the fact that "once" animations have to be delayed in order to be shown in video properly (they play automatically and don't restart in the viewer). All it needs to be is the same way camera moves accomplished, just with object/light movements. If they can get a handle on keyframed animation and/or animated FBX files, we will really be in business.

I have just tested this version 2022, indeed beautiful improvements, on the other hand the rendering by path tracing remains a little slow for an increased productivity, but the quality with very good settings is there, it is undeniable! Lumion 12 doesn't seem to bring any big surprises and improvements, on the contrary, except the price, it seems to stay on the dead point. D5 Render is also a very nice surprise, the development team is listening to its users and bring very regular updates and competitive with the tenors.

[DGvisuals]

I think we're closing in on the time to do a render engine comparison video between Twinmotion, Lumion, Enscape and D5. Considering that they charge the most, Lumion should always win in a direct comparison, but if you were to state what sort of people/professions might best benefit from each then that would be fantastic.

[Calastudio]

Thanks again Justin. It would be incredible if Epic integrates the new Lumen lighting and nanite technology and from Unreal Engine into Twinmotion, maybe that's to come who knows that would be awesome!

[juanpablo-vnxo]

twinmotion is really going leaps and bounds ahead....its ease of use and the realistic results are exactly what i need in the architectural industry - it is awesome i will be signing up for the paid version very soon and using it in my professional work flow....i already use some brilliant rendering packages, but twinmotion is just moving in the right direction and utilizes GPU power, so its just perfect for me.... epic are really doing a great job so far - KEEP IT UP! 👍🤟✌

Excelente Gabs, gracias por tu generosidad. Abrazos y bendiciones.

[DayTripperLennon]

Downloaded this yesterday and you’re right it’s super exciting! I didn’t know they support the 3D mouse, nice!!!

[SmartExpertDesigns]

One more thing they screwed up was that before, when you had a video playing inside your scene, and you output the video in png format, it would play the video along, now, every frame rendered resets the video to black and doesn't play anymore in your video.

[billygordon]

Love all the new features especially Skydomes and 3DConnection control feature

[tunakhan]

Twinmotion 2022 definitely has very good updates, but the difference in color and brightness between real-time rendering and path tracing makes me think.

[lineseeking]

Thanks for the update! First one I watched was in Portuguese but the guy didn't catch all the features. I may have to upgrade my graphics card!!

[fazeone]

Pathtracing looks a lot like corona, i love it

[tiagoarnaudyt]

Hi, where is the water opacity in water material in latest version? Thanks

[craigwilliamsdesign]

I'm curious, which would you recommend? Twinmotion or Lumion?
