By now, you’ve likely heard about real-time rendering for architectural visualization and how it’s changing the way designs are presented. With real-time rendering, you can edit your design and see the changes updated instantly, at full quality, and you can produce animations and panoramas in minutes instead of days. Real-time rendering also opens the door to immersive experiences like 360° videos and virtual reality.
One of the easiest solutions for real-time rendering is Twinmotion. This visualization software features a highly intuitive interface and runs on both PC and Mac. Twinmotion is designed to simplify the process of creating stills, animation, and immersive media from your existing CAD models; it promises to get you up to speed and creating quickly, while not compromising on the quality of the output. What’s more, it’s currently available for free until November 2019, and even after that, you can keep using the free version as long as you like.
Once your model is built in the CAD package of your choice, you can import it into Twinmotion. If you’ve created your model in ARCHICAD, Revit, or SketchUp Pro, you can take advantage of Twinmotion’s direct link feature to synchronize your files in a single click. This enables you to keep making changes in the source package after you’ve already begun creating your visualization. Twinmotion can also import FBX, C4D, and OBJ files, offering support for most popular modeling packages.
