What’s New
Performance Improvements
An issue related to material loading has been fixed. As a consequence, files containing a significant amount of instantiated geometries will load faster.
Painted and scattered vegetation no longer need to generate their physical meshes. This leads to a significant decrease in loading time and memory footprint for files containing large amounts of painted and / or scattered vegetation.
Home Panel - Access to Plugins
You can now access information about the various plugins for Twinmotion directly from the Home panel in the Plugins tab.
Chromatic Aberration
A new Chromatic aberration slider is available in the Ambience panel (under Camera > Camera settings) for improved visual customization. Chromatic aberration is an effect that simulates the color shifts in real-world camera lenses.
Materials Dock - Filter System
We have added a new filter system for sorting the Materials dock based on material types. You can access the filters by clicking the Filters icon above the Materials dock.
Materials Dock - Remove All Unused Materials
Discover the new Clean up tool in the Materials dock to easily remove all unused materials in a scene in one click.
Adobe Substance 3D Materials - Automatically Generate Random Seed Values
Added a Randomize icon that automatically generates random seed values for Adobe Substance 3D materials. Available in the Properties panel next to the Random seed field.
Wetness Effect Enhancement
You can now adjust the wetness effect of rain on surfaces with four new parameters, available in the Ambience panel under Weather > Surface effects. With these new settings, you can flood the entire ground surface.
Parallax on Decals
A new Parallax setting has been added for decals. When enabled, the impression of depth is improved. A height map can be added and the intensity and reference plane can be adjusted. Available under Normal > Details in the Properties panel.
