Man, I’ve never seen a tutorial so beautifully done as this one on UA-cam! So well edited, clean and organized! Thank you for your time in making this and for making it available to us.
You are clear and straightforward with your content (communication, reasoning, and how the software works). I was glad to click the bell icon on ALL of your videos! Good job, mate. best of luck xD
I love it! I used to work with Cinema 4D, however I'm not a graphic designer, I do this for hobby. Twinmotion gives the opportunity to get amazing rendering and 4k video without spending days on it.
Hello very nice tutorial i have a question and i hope you can help me.. If i have only the texture of a material i want to use can i use the normal map for tile joints for example and put my texture? I try to do it with twinmotion library materials but i fail
Thank you! And for quixel or any other websites, it's basically the same workflow because you'll need the same types of maps. As for ambient occlusion (AO) maps, you can overlay the AO map on top of the normal Diffuse or Color map in photoshop using the Multiply blend mode and export it then import that into Twinmotion color map.
Thanks, it helps a lot! If I have a brick texture, and with the maps, it has a displacement material, should I use it? I added the color map, the normal map and the roughness map, but I don't know if I have to use the displacement, and where to use it. Thanks 😊
Hello thanks for the tutorial however im trying to make matirial with holes and the opacity mask doesnt work with my alpha image do you know what could be wrong
You mean displacement right? Bump and displacement are different, and since twinmotion doesnt support displacement, you don't see the details on the edges
Does the map resolution affect how the material is rendered in? Contemplating whether to use higher resolution maps(4k) in mapping or not. Thanks for those who can answer this.😁😁😁
I have been using/learning the program for a couple of days now and am enjoying it The glaring thing for me is navigation of the screen, it is dowhrìgjt awfull Is it because I have been modelling in SU for years or is twinmotion missing a 'pan" function Twinmotion is missing something when it comes to scene navigation I have used blender, sketchup, 3d max and transition between the scene navigation easily, but not twinmotion I struggle with it
Hm really? When you first launch Twinmotion there's an option to choose the type of navigation. I chose Sketchup navigation so I can navigate just like in Sketchup. It's pretty intuitive actually.
Hi Thanks for the reply. I had it set to SU. Did not realise you had to hit shift when you pan. That made it a bit easier but I have to dissagree navigation is nothing like sketchup in reality. I have been driving twinmtion for a total of anot 12 hours and it is still not intuitive to me. I thought my motor memory would have ajusted by now but ....No.
Hi, i hope you can help me. I'm looking for option that allows me to change color of grass vegetation (i need white realistic grass). Is there any such possibility or you are limited to the green color.
@@ArchitectureInspirations Well, you can use snow effect, but that will affect other objects. Im trying to create soccer stadium pitch and i need regular green grass and some white border lines made of white painted grass. Thats makes me huge problem.
@@ArchitectureInspirations I dont know how to chnage texture for example. long grass 01. I know how to eidit other materials, but how to edit texures for vegetation adn landscape i have no idea. Im not even sure is it allowed such option.
At this moment, I honestly prefer Lumion. Twinmotion still needs to be improved in some aspects, hopefully their 2020 version will have lots of new features
Very nice tutorial. It really helped me figure out materials in Twinmotion since I am new to this software. I am running the latest version in 2021 and I am trying to figure out how to export a scene as a stand-alone file that others can open and move freely around the exterior of a house model. I cannot fine any instructions on how to do this anywhere. I know it can be done. Do you happen to have a video on this topic or know how to do this? Thanks!
Great video as always! I have been using VRAY for both still images and video (via vision but displacement and fur do not show up). TWINMOTION is so cool I will likely use it for videos from now on. I guess I have to build up my poliigon materials again for TWINMOTION? Or is there a shortcut?
Pretty cool video Thanks a lot ! Do you have a tool to navigate into twinmotion or do you simply use the keyboard? Thanks. Is there anyone using something else to navigate into twinmotion (my 3D connexion -space mouse) doesn't work with TM. Any suggestion ?
First video I’ve watched of yours - very clear and informative! Question: do you have a video that explains how to control materials when bringing in a model from SketchUp (or even Rhino > SketchUp > TM)? Whenever I import a .skp, it fuses everything into one material and I can’t specifically select or change exact materials - the whole thing just turns one material. You have a video for this, or thoughts?
Use the apply to object option in TM, instead of apply material (this is the default action). It’s the leftmost option in the toolbar (two overlapping circles - click on the icon and select the option with the single circle icon). You’ll be able to replace individual instances of the material on specific objects instead of replacing all instances. Alternately, paint individual objects different colours in sketchup, and then replace the materials in TM.
Great video...you are going way too fast to follow or keep up with notes had to rewind numerous time. This is exactly what I have been looking, thank you.
That's true, it'd be useful to have an invert button for maps like reflection/gloss etc. But for normal map you have to photoshop it to invert the Green/Y Channel
Architecture Inspirations i know, that you can download from all sites, they are OpenGl, they should develop an inverter in which just a click is needed

Thank you so much! I tried to make it as concise as possible 😊
This is what ive been looking for. A tutorial for the maps as I find it hard. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
You are clear and straightforward with your content (communication, reasoning, and how the software works). I was glad to click the bell icon on ALL of your videos! Good job, mate. best of luck xD
This is the most helpful and clear tutorial I've ever watched. Thank you :)
Thank youu!
very short ..very informative ..nicely explained ..no web series kind of explanation...to the point...excellent...
I don't know how I found this video but you saved my life!!! thank you
I'm glad I could help!
wow thanks man, the better 8 minutes about materials
Thank youu!!
So much info ... gonna rewatch this a bunch of times.
Glad I could help!😊

That's awesome! Hopefully there will be cooler features in the next version!
Yo thank you so much! This was amazing. Twinmotion likes to hide advanced settings behind menus to make things seem simple!
Super helpful, twinmotion looks so promising
Thank you! Yeah hopefully the new version is even better😄
Architecture Inspirations is the new version free or not?
It is if you have an account for Twinmotion in 2019. Try the download link 😊
Thank for explain every type of maps. It's helpful with me.
Glad I could help!
Great tutorial. I got it right on the first try
That's great! Glad I could help 😄
This helps me very much, what a content! Thanks mate.
Very clear and helpful, for sure a reference in tutoring ! Thanks for it !

Thank you so much!
Great Video!!
Thank you!
Is there a way to fix the bump issue without using photoshop?
AMAZING EFFORTS , THANKS !
Perfect toturial and helpful 👏👏👍
Thank you!!
Man I was looking for this for ages thank you so much you are a legend do one for quixel please that one has so many maps

thank you very much this tutorial is just amazing .
Great explanation... tks!!
Great tutorials!!
Can I use materials from this website for v-ray
Thank you so much this was VERY helpful!
Thank you!
how about displacement maps..is twinmotion support it?
Hi if only use displace map. which can replace all bump normal reflect map?? if displacemap is made with accuration
Hm not really. You can use it to fake it but that's not how it's supposed to be used
this tutorial is awesome
Thank you!
Thanks, it helps a lot! If I have a brick texture, and with the maps, it has a displacement material, should I use it? I added the color map, the normal map and the roughness map, but I don't know if I have to use the displacement, and where to use it. Thanks 😊
Unfortunately Twinmotion doesn't support displacement map so you can't really use it
@@ArchitectureInspirations Thanks again!
Hello thanks for the tutorial however im trying to make matirial with holes and the opacity mask doesnt work with my alpha image do you know what could be wrong
Did you export as PNG?
Extremly useful! Thanks!
Thank you!
isnt there roughness/glossiness controller by default alongside the reflectivity?
Yes, but it's more realistic if you use a map
why there is no bump on edges?
bc on preview in quixel or poligone we can see deatils on the edge of spheres
You mean displacement right? Bump and displacement are different, and since twinmotion doesnt support displacement, you don't see the details on the edges
@@ArchitectureInspirations oh😭
thank you anyway i really like you'r videos keep it up🤙
@@ahmaddarvishi2713 I'll try my best!
Does the map resolution affect how the material is rendered in? Contemplating whether to use higher resolution maps(4k) in mapping or not. Thanks for those who can answer this.😁😁😁
Yes it does but depends if your render is close up or not. If the material is farther away then it doesn't matter
@@ArchitectureInspirations Thanks!! Honestly didn't expect you'd be the one to respond. Love your content man.
I have been using/learning the program for a couple of days now and am enjoying it
The glaring thing for me is navigation of the screen, it is dowhrìgjt awfull
Is it because I have been modelling in SU for years or is twinmotion missing a 'pan" function
Twinmotion is missing something when it comes to scene navigation

Is there a website to download materials that already have the normal maps in DirectX so to avoid the step of adjusting it in Photoshop???
Usually sites for Unreal Engine already have maps in DirectX
very helpful...thank you
You're very welcome!😄
Thanks for the content, specially for the easy normal map fix. Do you know if it's possible to mix normal and displacement maps in tw?
Not at the moment. I think displacement will be available in the future
Hi, i hope you can help me. I'm looking for option that allows me to change color of grass vegetation (i need white realistic grass). Is there any such possibility or you are limited to the green color.
Like snow? You can change it in the weather tab
@@ArchitectureInspirations Well, you can use snow effect, but that will affect other objects. Im trying to create soccer stadium pitch and i need regular green grass and some white border lines made of white painted grass. Thats makes me huge problem.
Oh in that case you can edit the texture map in photoshop and load it in manually
@@ArchitectureInspirations I dont know how to chnage texture for example. long grass 01. I know how to eidit other materials, but how to edit texures for vegetation adn landscape i have no idea. Im not even sure is it allowed such option.
How create material with normal+displacement map?
so good dude!
Thanks man!
is the map used in twinmotion same as vray materials?
Can you position materials in twinmotion?
Yes you can!
how do we transfer the custom materials from one user to another?
You can copy the user library in the documents folder😊
@@ArchitectureInspirations OH! okay, that's the only option? can export materials like in lumion?
Yeah you can basically add it to the library to reuse it on your own computer or on another
twin motion or lumion? which to prefer
At this moment, I honestly prefer Lumion. Twinmotion still needs to be improved in some aspects, hopefully their 2020 version will have lots of new features

Love you guy
❤❤😄
can u create realistic render for this twinmotion
Yes you can😊
Great software... great tuto too
Thank you!
Hey Minh, can we add surface imperfections with Twinmotion?
Hm I'm not sure you can. In 2020 there's a grunge settings but that's the closest thing to surface imperfections
SUPERUSEFUL! Thanks!
Thank youu!
Pretty cool video Thanks a lot ! Do you have a tool to navigate into twinmotion or do you simply use the keyboard? Thanks. Is there anyone using something else to navigate into twinmotion (my 3D connexion -space mouse) doesn't work with TM. Any suggestion ?
Currently I just use keyboard and mouse. I have a 3dmouse but haven't tried it yet
Finally in your video.At number8 material metallic how to do? pls teach me.Thank you
It's the same workflow that i showed in the video. Just download maps from sites like Poliigon, then follow the workflow ^.^
Architecture Inspirations Thank you.Can I use with material glass?
Awesome! Thanks!!
You're very welcome!
Thank you, Minh!
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much!!
great video
Thank you!
How do l make a duplicate like repeat
How do l make the door open
Repeat what?
You cant make a door open in Twinmotion yet. There will be future updates that let you do that
@@ArchitectureInspirations ua-cam.com/video/PQ4FwLFVTsQ/v-deo.html
There's no need to use custom path. There will be a feature to make it a lot easier
@@ArchitectureInspirations Ok, thank you very much
ua-cam.com/video/Pw2pGrqNsy4/v-deo.html
thanks for the video !
Can you share your basic user library for twinmotion ?
Sorry I cannot, but you can download materials from websites like Poliigon and try it yourself
Thank you, can you do a similar video for Lumion?
I have 😊 you can check my playlist
@@ArchitectureInspirations Can you refer me to it am kinda lost in your list trying to find it
Thank you
it is very useful
Which version is this 18 or 20 ????
This was version 2019 but same concept works for 2020
@@ArchitectureInspirations oh but in 2019 does it have scatter vegetation tool just as in 2020?
It doesn't
Thank you..!!
Thanks!

Hey, just realized that you can slow down the speed in settings...brilliant UA-cam.
cool thx 👍🏻

i don't understend why my reflection is different,
or rather, there is no reflection, both with texture and without texture. there is no difference
Great

Great video...you are going way too fast to follow or keep up with notes had to rewind numerous time. This is exactly what I have been looking, thank you.
Looks so complicated but lets try
Hi All,
Just to let you know that Epic users get free access to Quixel where there are sooooo many textures and assets.
Yeah I covered this in a separate video
Thanks for tutorial, So every Twinmotion user needs a photoshop too! instead of a button to revers the map!
very lazy developers
That's true, it'd be useful to have an invert button for maps like reflection/gloss etc. But for normal map you have to photoshop it to invert the Green/Y Channel
true, but as a CGI artist you must be living under a rock to not have access to adobe suite
2nd
Why -y normal map ? All the world use +y 🤦🏻♂️
Unreal and Unity use -y I think. But yeah I was surprised too😂
Architecture Inspirations i know, that you can download from all sites, they are OpenGl, they should develop an inverter in which just a click is needed
Same. It's kinda troublesome to do it ourselves. Some users don't even know the difference
normal map trick OMG
Did it help?😂
@@ArchitectureInspirations is something i have to keep in mind! thnx!!!
