Twinmotion Direct Link to SketchUp released

So would it work like Enscape now, or do you have to click that button every time you make changes and wait for it to export and update? (if the second, how much time does it take for an average model?)

You have to click the button every time you make an update, it takes like 10-30sec on my machine, depending on the size of the project. I’m not too impressed with TM until now, fidelity wise it’s definitely better than Enscape but it feels really clunky and my workflow with Enscape/SKP is just so much better.

but its free

Until November, we’ll have to see about pricing after that. Also interested to see what features there are on the roadmap.

TM might be a viable replacement for Enscape but we’re still in the testing phase. There are several caveats like the clunky workflow, the not-so-live-sync with SketchUp and the massive file size of BIMMotion exports in comparison to Enscape standalone exports. On the other side animated trees, people and cars sure add a good bit of life and realism.

We’ll see, I guess…

To get a better idea on how TM works and the deliverables on can get, it looks like TM is having a webinar. Here is the information:

Twinmotion Webinar - From SketchUp to Twinmotion
In this webinar, Martin Krasemann, Twinmotion Product Specialist at Epic Games will take you through the building of an archviz scene from the beginning, explaining the process step by step.
