Twinmotion

Twinmotion is a powerful real-time 3D architectural visualization software package that can enable architects, construction, urban and landscape planning designers, and professionals to easily express their ideas and create visually stunning client-ready project representations.

Built on the top of Unreal Engine, a popular multi-platform game engine that supports all the latest techniques for modern rendering techniques, architectural designs can finally access the same tools, features, and external app integrations the game developers have used for years to realize their stunning real-time gaming products.



By leveraging the tool and integration support of Unreal Engine, Twinmotion takes the tried and tested game development approach of 3D world-building and enhances it for easier use by professional architects and designers. In mere minutes, users can import their basic objects (all the major CAD and BIM models are supported), assign them a proper realistic surface material, create an environment, give that environment life with plant life and atmospheric effects, and finally formalize a final shot or movie scene that will be rendered. During this entire procedure, Twinmotion will showcase real-time rendering of the 3D world, enabling easy discovery of new viewpoints and opportunities for enhancing the architectural project with new features.

Since its original appearance on the market, Twinmotion has instantly become one of the leaders in real-time architectural design, easy toolsets, integrations with external modeling apps, and leaders in the ability to export finished media in various formats. In addition to simple images and videos, users of the app can also create immersive 360 videos, create VR experiences, and even take advantage of Unreal Engine integration and create a brand new self-executable archive that will compile all your design choices into a standalone “game” that your co-workers or clients can explore on their PC.

Installation and Use

Twinmotion is a large and ever-growing 3D design architecture application. Since its installation package has surpassed the size of 5GB, be prepared for both lengthy downloads and installation on your home or work PC. Also, be aware that since this app is so heavily dependent on high-quality real-time rendering of 3D assets and effects, it requires strong PC hardware to run on. Developers recommend configuration with at least an i5 or i7 Intel processor, 8-16 GB of system RAM memory, and a GPU card with at least 4GB of video memory.

The app features a simplified interface that game developers use, promoting easy importing of objects, easy deployment of interior/exterior furnishing, drag & drop catalog of realistic-looking materials, and more. The majority of tools are held behind nine main tabs that are placed below the main 3D camera view – Import, Environment, Scene Materials, Landscape, Forest, Populate, Visual Effects, Movie, and Output. The far left is dedicated to the Library listing tools, which can showcase results as large thumbnails.

In addition to the native English language UI and documentation support, the app can also be experienced in the following languages - Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
