Hi All,
I have just viewed the demo of TwinMotion's new plugin for Revit http://www.twinmotion.com/showcase/news ... ugin.html/
Notwithstanding that it is outrageously expensive, I am, nevertheless pretty impressed by what I saw.
I am not a graphic Artist but a building designer who uses Revit as my principal design software. Easy transference of model to render engine is HUGELY important for me and would save lots of time in the rendering process. At the moment I have a totally crap process of Revit - AutoCad dwg - Sketchup - apply materials - Octane.
Whilst I know everyone here is committed to Octane, I would be curious to hear what others think of TwinMotion.
I would also be very curious to hear if there is any further movement on an Octane plugin for Revit which was mooted in a few threads some time back.
Cheers,
Ian

Twinmotion and Lumion3D have lots going for them. That is if I want my presentations to look like 90's Disney animations. But I don't. Octane is the business. The engine is there. It just needs a chassis and some wheels. A Revit plugin is just a question of time I would hope. Even better, render from WITHIN Revit like Indigo does. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do it - else I would've by now. But someone will. But who are they? Maybe that person just needs a bit of motivation...

Very cool, I can see many architects digging this

hi there'
i tried twinmotion ,believe me its crap the handling is very bad ,very slow .
Lumion (servicepack 2) absolute fantastic ,the best animation tool for architects
available . i made 40 sec. flyovers in one afternoon .
with regards

Lunion is good for some work, particularly large conceptual and urban design schemes. But despite it's name, it does not do lighting. Octane offers a realism that Lumion could only dream of at this stage. And for that reason, Octane is a tool that we would like to keep using in conjuction with our Revit projects. But the interface between the two applications poses a huge work-flow challenge. Hopefully there will be a solution soon...

Well, I tried Lumion demo today... and deleted it just after : Even if Lumion does find only my display GPU (GTX 260) (maybe it is because it is a demo version), it runs fast on it, but increases a lot its temperature.
Maybe it is because of my GTX260 (the only found), but I haven't been able to load any of my models. So the test was not very interesting.
What I can say about Lumion from my short trial, is that set at maximum quality level it looks more like an old game engine than a quality render ! It is certainly useful for fast preview in architecture, but is not usable as an artistic tool imho.
And added to that, it is the most expensive of all expensives renders I know !
