So...I rarely post weekend tutorials, and almost never on a Saturday night, but this was a tip I was really excited to find out about. Let me know if you knew you could do this in the comments below! (Maybe I'm the only one that didn't know?) :p
This is very useful thank you. Again it would be nice having the option to change material by face. I think it's a must in rendering software where the same object could have different painted faces
ArchiCad Users - Here's how to fix! Click Twinmotion dropdown Click the first dropdown from dialogue box "by materials best performance" Change to "No merge" Click Ok Then, re link: Twinmotion dropdown > Directlink. Worked immediately for me. Both ArchiCad and Twinmotion were opened during this process. Hope this helps AC users! JT Studio
Jamie Thomson I’m importing fbx coloured model into twin motion . When I tried to add another model into the same scene the colour automatically changes .. how to fix
@@ramakrish2705 I am not familiar with fbx coloured models but my suggestion would be to save it as a different file (save as, new name) and import it so there is no reference to the original. Might work?
Nice video thank you. However it would be nice (viewing some comments below) to show us how to prepare properly a Sketchup model for Twinmotion. For example if we make a simple room 10x10m with "Rectangular" tool in Sketchup, offset to give thickness to the wall and then with "Push/Pull" tool raise the walls to create the volume/space, then whatever we do, this is like one object in Twinmotion. ONLY if we apply different colors/textures at the faces in Sketchup before import it in Twinmotion, we can then apply different materials in Twinmotion. Otherwise when we apply a material in Twinmotion it is applied in every element that have the same color/texture in sketchup.
Great videos. I'm learning so much about Twinmotion. I will say (I'm building my models in 3DS max) that if all your UVW mapping is setup properly in the base model that all the material grain direction / scale issues sort themselves out when applying textures (particulary for roofs with valleys and non-uniform geometry details) :)
I realized this issue early on, was going back and forth changing the material ID in sketchup, until I found out this feature in Twinmotion. good catch J.
God thank you! I can get my night sleep now! I thought what was I doing wrong! I checked my UVs a 100 times then checked if the meshes were seperated. But not matter what it just kept applying to all the object. Didn't know that button did that! Thanks!
hi man even when i import my 3d model with keep hierarchy on i can only apply material to the whole thing not individual objects. any help would be appreciated
how can i import all materials and settings from one TM file to another? I would like to recover the material system from an old version of a file to the new one, without having to start over.
a question about walls, when i eg. have a putside wall from a room so one aide facing inside other one facing outside, how can i change both wall textures uniquely? ot alwqys just changes the whole texture of the wall segment.
HI. Justin Thanks for the videos. How to control the layer names imported from SKP model. When it has been imported all the properly names layers from SKP turn into some randome names...
Thank you for that. However, I tried changing this setting and for whatever reason it did not allow me to set materials to individual components after trying to change collapse settings. I tried "collapse all" "collapse by material" and I also made sure to apply to object but unfortunately it is all kinda grouped together. What this means is that all external walls all gets the same material. It may be the case that by creating several walls and change materials inside revit (the outmost layer) will help this but ideally it would be great to apply materials to specific faces.
Thanks for the video - and all the others! Its worth to mention (maybe you already have) that all ungrouped geometry in SketchUp will act like one big group and share material in Twinmotion. I just learned that the hard way :-)
This is the first thing I learned after I downloaded twinmotion. It's a very powerful tool and I don't know if you could do it in lumion because I was using lumion before.
just dont get it...how the heck can i selets only one object? always hwn i select one wall it selets all wall and apply materials to all walls...i just want to apply lets say brick to one wall...how do i do that? thank you
Pls can anyone help on this. I tried to apply material by selecting a group in the hirerarchy but it applying to only one object ...not all selected in the hirerarchy
Thank you for this tutorial, is there another way to import models with the exact same 3Ds Max materials for example, or do I have to re-assign maps to every map channel
@@TheRenderingEssentials I'm talking generally, I have to assign all materials separately in twinmotion for every imported model because the original materials are not importable, thank you anyway
@@TheRenderingEssentials I'm trying to get a surface texture of a stripped road which has the yellow dashed lines in the center and two white solid lines on both sides. Is there something I'm missing or is messing with the scaling the only way to do it?
Thanks for sharing. The impression I’m getting is that SU materials should be kept as simple colours, leaving all complex textures with twinMotion, right?
Not really - if you're modeling JUST for Twinmotion rendering you might set it up like this, but there's nothing stopping you from adding textures in SketchUp, then just swapping them out in Twinmotion - really a question of what's easiest for what you're trying to do
Hi ! V-ray is a Renderer ! If you wanna work with V-ray wich is a very good renderer but not for realtime purposes, you still have to work with some kind of modeling software like sketchup, 3D Max or else.
very nice and wanna ask how is it when i made some changes in my skp model and dont want rework all that things in TM again /i mean change materials etc/ and is it possible to export some geometry made with TM into skp ?
HI, thanks for this tutorial, really helpful! I've just one further question, you select multiple objects and then assigns a material for them all at once. When I try to do this, it only apply the material to the one I place it on and not to all the selected ones. The only difference with you is that I'm working with TM2020, could this be the problem?
Sounds like you've got it set up for individual faces. Just change that option to the replace material option. Basically the opposite of what I did in this video
Hey Justin, thank you for your tutorial. :) I have a further question. There is an "two-sided" option under settings for the materials. I had assumed that this option helps to change only one side of an object but it seems to have no effect.
