What’s New
Enhanced Home Panel
Discover the new Home panel that now includes three sections: Home, Templates, and Learning. Access the scenes you’re working on and create new scenes, stay informed with the latest Twinmotion news, access learning resources and tutorials, and open the Twinmotion Materials room and Lakehouse retreat demo scenes.
Material Creation Improvements
In the Materials dock, with the Plus ( + ) button you can now access all the types of materials in Twinmotion (such as Video, Car paint, and Fabric) and select one as a basis when creating a new material.
New Settings for the Custom Path Tool
You can now change the X, Y, and Z axes, size, and offset of an object in the Custom path tool. This makes it easier to use assets of any size on a Custom path, even when the local axis of an asset is not correctly oriented or placed.
Translator Maximal Distance
The maximum distance of the Translator tool has been increased to 1 km and can now move larger objects.
Improved Mouse Movement
New mouse movement handling is available as an option in the Preferences panel under the Mouse section. The Use relative mouse option improves control of the camera when moving it with the mouse or when dragging objects in the scene. This improvement will mostly benefit users who use pen tablets or use Twinmotion remotely with screen sharing. By default this option is disabled, but we aim to enable it by default for all users in future releases.
