The following tables describe the settings specific to the Foliage materials in Twinmotion. For information on all other settings not mentioned on this page, see Settings for Standard Materials.
Color
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Backface fade | Use this slider to simulate the effect where the back face of foliage appears paler than the front. Options: 0% to 100% |
Tint
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Color | Opens the Color picker, where you can select a color to tint the base color texture. |
Tint color mask | A user-defined texture that defines which areas of the base color texture are tinted. It is a black and white image, where black represents the areas that are not tinted (masked) and white represents the areas that are tinted. |

Translucency
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Translucency amount | Defines how much light transmits through the surface from the lit side to the dark side that faces away from the light source. The color of this effect is modulated by the texture of the base color. By default, the value is 0.5. Options: 0.0 to 1.0 |
Translucency map | A user-defined texture map that masks the Translucency amount value. It is a grayscale image where dark values occlude light transmission and bright values allow light transmission. |
Translucency saturation | Controls the saturation of the base color's effect on any light that passes through the material. Options: 0.1 to 2.0 |
Ambient occlusion
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Intensity | In the Real time Standard rendering mode, this setting adjusts the amount of ambient light occlusion at the core of the object the material is applied to. This setting is not available in the Lumen or Path tracer rendering modes, as they both have more precise built-in light occlusion |
Foliage and seasons
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Use global seasons | When selected, the seasonal color and leaf variations of the Foliage material automatically follow the Twinmotion seasons and weather conditions defined in the Ambience panel under the Weather category. |
Force season | When selected, the seasonal life cycle of vegetation and the color of leaves (set in the Ambience panel under Weather) are overridden and controlled by the Season slider. Season slider |
Season color | Depending on the gradient you choose, this setting determines the color of the material over the course of the seasons. Options:
|
