The information in this page provides the hardware and software requirements for using Twinmotion on Windows and Mac computers.
Minimum and High-end Requirements
Depending on the size of the projects you plan on creating in Twinmotion, we recommend following either the minimum or high-end requirements.
Minimum Requirements
Recommended for small to average sized projects that contain less than 1 GB of geometry and data.
-
Suitable for:
- Creating Local and Cloud presentations
- Exporting videos in 2K Full HD (1920 x 1080)
- Exporting images up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160)
-
Not suitable for:
- Using Twinmotion in Virtual Reality (VR) mode
- Exporting videos in 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) or higher
- Exporting videos in 360° or 360° 3D panoramic mode
- Using the Path tracer (refer to Path Tracer Requirements)
- Using the Lumen rendering mode due to higher memory demands
High-end Requirements
Recommended for large projects that contain more than 1 GB of geometry and data, such as scenes that contain large buildings, cities, or large landscapes.
- Suitable for all high-end requirements, such as:
- Using Twinmotion in VR mode
- Creating Local and Cloud presentations
- Exporting videos up to 8K (8102 x 4096) in 360° and 360° 3D mode
- Exporting videos up to 64K (61440 x 61440) in Standard and 3D mode
- Exporting images up to 64K (61440 x 61440)
- Using the Path tracer and Lumen rendering modes
Windows
Hardware and software requirements for running Twinmotion on Windows.
Twinmotion can run on Windows 7 and 8.1 (64-bit version), but it is not officially supported as Microsoft has discontinued support for these versions.
| Minimum Requirements | High-end Requirements | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System |
For information on how to find your Windows operating system version, refer to this page. |
For information on how to find your Windows operating system version, refer to this page. |
| Graphics Card | A graphics card with the latest available drivers installed, and at least 6 GB of dedicated Video Random-Access Memory (VRAM) and a benchmark score of 10,000 or higher. Intel ARC graphic cards are not officially supported. A minimum of 8 GB is recommended to use the Path tracer. For more information, refer to Path Tracer Requirements. |
A graphics card with the latest available drivers installed, and at least 12 GB of dedicated Video Random-Access Memory (VRAM) and a benchmark score of 20,000 or higher. Intel ARC graphic cards are not officially supported. |
| Render Hardware Interface (RHI) |
|
|
| Central Processing Unit (CPU) | A processor with a benchmark score of 2,000 or higher. | A processor with a benchmark score of 2,500 or higher. |
| System Memory (RAM) | 16 GB or more | 64 GB or more |
| Hard Drive | 30 GB of free disk space | 30 GB of free disk space |
A Solid State Drive (SSD) or a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) can be a good choice if you work with very large projects. As well, projects that are stored on an SSD load and save faster.
macOS
Hardware and software requirements for running Twinmotion on a Mac.
| Minimum Requirements | High-end Requirements | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating System | macOS Monterey 12.5 | macOS 14.6.1 Sonoma |
| Graphics Card | Apple Silicon M Series Processor or a graphics card with at least 6 GB of dedicated Video Random-Access Memory (VRAM), or with a benchmark score of 10,000 or higher. | Apple Silicon M2 Max Processor or better |
| Central Processing Unit (CPU) | Apple Silicon M Series Processor or an Intel processor with a benchmark score of 2,000 or higher. | Apple Silicon M2 Max Processor or better |
| System Memory (RAM) | 32 GB or more | 64 GB or more |
| Hard Drive | 30 GB of free disk space | 30 GB of free disk space |
A Solid State Drive (SSD) or a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) can be a good choice if you work with very large projects. As well, projects that are stored on an SSD load and save faster.
Limitations
Twinmotion has the following limitations when running on a Mac:
- Twinmotion can run on macOS versions earlier than 12.5 but it is not officially supported.
- The Path tracer feature is not supported on macOS.
- VR mode is not supported on macOS due to the hardware and driver limitations on Macs.
- Lumen only supports software ray tracing mode on MacOS. This may impact visual quality. A computer matching the high-end requirements is recommended for best results.
