What’s New
Camera Composition Grid Overlay
The Camera tab in the Ambience panel now offers an option to use a composition grid overlay in the Viewport. It includes an optional safe area feature, and the number of columns and rows, and the color of the grid lines can be customized.
Custom Frame Rates for Exported Videos
The Export settings for videos now include an option to adjust the frame rate to a custom value, ranging from 1 to 120 frames per second (fps).
Limitation: When a video is exported at a low frame rate, the quality of the motion blur may be degraded as Twinmotion has less data to correctly calculate the velocity of the motion.
Dock Materials Reordering
The order of materials in the Materials dock can now be changed and saved by dragging and dropping them to a new position in the dock.
Motion Blur in the Viewport
In the Preferences panel under Settings, you can now deactivate the motion blur in the Viewport.
Loop Playback Option for Media
A loop playback option was added for videos inside the Media dock and for media inside Presentations.
Assign Material to Selection
With the new Assign to selection option for materials located in the Toolbar, you can now apply a material at once to all objects selected in the Scene graph or Viewport.
Select Children in the Scene Graph
The contents of parent containers in the Scene graph can now be selected all at once by right-clicking on a container and choosing Select children.
Decals and Materials Harmonization
In the Properties panel, the order for the properties of decals has been rearranged to match the order for the properties of Twinmotion materials.
