What a great tutorial! I also had the same thought to use Twinmotion in the middle to populate a scenery quickly. This is especially convenient for projects with a smaller budget which are demanding a fast workflow. So thanks for showing the exact pipeline settings. I want to see more experiments in this direction. Maybe we have found the holy grail when it comes to real time Archviz? As you so aptly put it: "You can learn Twinmotion in an afternoon while it could take a lifetime to learn Unreal Engine" Now we have the best of both worlds. For me it's quite hard to animate cars in UE while it's total easy to do it in TW. Do you think it's possible to import moving cars in UE already ?
There are certain things that are very easy in Twinmotion, but very involved in UE5, like adding snow or rain. Animating objects is much simpler too, but yes, you can import animated objects via datasmith.
Lumen nukes my 3080 10gb card and almost always crashes, lol. Its not worth it trying to downscale settings, it just spits out garbage renders. Path Tracing however, way more accurate lighting imo.
The thing about TM is the slow render times for a PT animation and the flickering problem that occurs with interior and low light animations. I agree with the crappie raster mode. The shadow system is crap to when in raster mode.
I can't export any twinmotion 2024 projects to unreal 5.4. For me, only the datasmith twinmotion plugin appears and the twinmotion content plugin does not appear for me. What do I do?
Hi I built a large model 18 floors in SketchUp I moved it as an FBX to Twinmotion. I loaded very well. It's an entire game model. Like a city block. I haven't managed to get it to load into UE 5.2 always loads of parts just missing. So now that I have it in Twinmotion can I load into the game module of UE. I have a VR set and will try to follow you advice to try to export it as VR in Twinmotion. I will also look at your courses. Very excited and uplifting to have found your video. Thank you very much.
Great overview. Can you please post a tut for the workflow max->tw->UE5 for an interior project with complete artificial lighting ( no fog/sun)? Like the inside of a warehouse or a museum etc. This is something that is generally omitted. External landscape and lighting is great but I think that complete artificial/interior lighting is what is generally missed in tutorials
How does the datasmith pipeline work in this setup if I'm in Unreal, but I needed to make changes to the building for example? Do I need to still go Max -> Twinmotion -> Unreal?
Oh, that is a very good question. I assume you could go straight from Max to Unreal and only the updated objects would change. There should be a way to do that but I need to test
hey.. first thanks for video, it's an interesting type of workflow and I will definitely test it too... I have a couple of questions for you, if you can answer, if not it's also okay... I've had couple of issues with UE5 archviz, basically I export from Revit (I tried with and without datasmith) to UE5 and all my UV are messed up. Every single object has a different UV scale and rotation, and It's a lot of work in UE to match them to each other. On top of that I had some issues with meshes also, UE5 was not building my meshes properly because of some triangulation problems ( which I could not find out what it is and why it happens). And one more weird thing, I can not make a good looking Glass material in UE5 which behaves as glass should, with proper reflections, refraction and etc. During all these "tests" did you find any of these issues, or is something wrong with my rig or workflow?
I haven't experimented with the Revit workflow specifically, so I'm not sure, but I do know that Revit sometimes have similar issues importing into Max. For example, procedural loft type objects (like a column) sometimes convert to a mesh upon import and the triangulation gets a bit jumbled. Also, Revit does not have robust UVW tools, so I'm not sure what is happening on that front. I would think it might be going wrong in the Datasmith translation. Someone else that has troubleshot the Revit workflow might be able to speak more on that. For glass, it is hard to get right without full raytracing, but I have gotten close using Lumen combined with raytracing with some of the updated settings. This deserves its own tutorial in the future.
I've been trying to decide between Twinmotion and D5 for garden design work (UE5 is not necessary for me), and I think this video has just swayed me in the direction of D5 as it's clear that you're not happy with the output of TM unless raytraced and D5 offers far faster raytracing. Thanks for the guidance 😊
D5 is solid too. I would think that for you, asset library and speed would be very important. I do think both tools could get the job done and it will come down to personal preferences. I also think that I could get "good enough" results with Twinmotion (without RT) if I messed with it more, but I am very used to Vray and very photo real GI, so I am spoiled. Anyway, thanks for watching and for the feedback!
@@Learn-archViz I've not had access to the paid for asset libraries of both yet, I hear good things about them but I can't compare directly - the vegetation is all I'm interested in
@@Learn-archViz Lumion used to be miles ahead of the rest, now it lags behind in terms of output quality, but it still has the largest asset library... Or so they say
@@3DGvisuals you should go for twinmotion, why? The answer is simple once they implement Lumen Into twinmotion the raster rendering will be as good as path tracing almost. 2nd thing is twinmotion just won't stop here rather i think the next logical thing would be to. Implement nanites into twinmotion which can than take care of millions of polygons. Coming to D5 i liked it my self for the assets and i did try some projects in it with pro license, but the issue is that it's quality is not really good compared to Tm. Also the fact that you can no edit individual meshes of your model in D5 is just so frustrating at times. Also for a project i was using their interior parllax in some 8 towers probably 1000 of them and it got stuck becuase i use 2070 super with 8GB card. But the same project in twinmotion with parllax worked like a charm. Ans twinmotion raster isn't that bad either you just need to tweak little things. My two cents for you. My twi
tell me, please, what is the problem, I put the video on rendering, and I can't use computers, everything freezes, or is this the version of Chaos Vantage 2.0? there was no such thing before, I run other programs, and it doesn't hang

Twinmotion has Lumen now and it’s completely free. Should make an update for this video tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

Hey Adam, really enjoying Your work bro. Please make some more UE5 indepth tutorials - I mean not free ones but proper course. Keep them coming :)
Making lots of UE5 instruction is definitely on my list. Thanks for watching
Im going to be studying this, I use 3ds and vantage but now choaos want 80 quid a month for vantage I'm looking elsewhere!

You're right! I'm definitely considering this for future videos.
Seems great!! When I do it though, some of the textures are missing and appear red
How do you install Twinmotion ? the tab does not open in unreal for me? 5.4.1
great tutorial! I have a problem when I try to do the same steps the HDRI is not there I don't know why is that happining
Hi Adam. A quick question - was the twinmotion path traced sequence denoised using inbuilt denoiser or in post?
thanks and keep it up man.
That one has zero post on it
@@Learn-archViz oh man. The denoiser is doing its job great. Previous version didn't work as good as this one. Thank you for your reply.
path tracing and making animation takes forever, what is your system setup? I would love to export this but it takes days
I haven't seen anyone cover whether vehicle paths are able to migrate to Unreal Engine. Is this possible?? 🚗🚌🚕

I'm interesting, what thoughts about D5 render. I touched both of them, and what can I say, D5 is much powerful, than Twinmotion at this moment.
D5 is great. I just published a course for it on Udemy.
and in Chaos Vantage is Vantage Ray tracing or path tracing?
I've been trying to decide between Twinmotion and D5 for garden design work (UE5 is not necessary for me), and I think this video has just swayed me in the direction of D5 as it's clear that you're not happy with the output of TM unless raytraced and D5 offers far faster raytracing.

Sorry. I dont understand your tutorial full. First open UE5 (games or film/vidoe or Architech or etc) which open?
How did you export it
and in your opinion, which is better and high-quality in videos and pictures, Chaos Vantage or TM?
For quality? Vantage
@@Learn-archViz I have all doubts which is better than Vantage or MT, that is, in terms of the quality of the render, in your opinion, vintage is better? sorry I didn't quite understand your answer
@belousovarchitect yes, I think in general Vantage gets higher quality results
I love Twinmotion, but there are no support channels output.
Path tracer on is enough quality for me 😂
good tutorial👌👌👌👌
the animation in Twinmotion takes wwwaaayyy to long for me, Im running on 3070
It's lacking in animation, there is no clear answer to why they have not added keyframed animation yet !
This is a good point
