For complete details on the recommended hardware and software specifications for Twinmotion, please refer to Hardware and Software Specifications.
Triplanar Mapping
Added a Triplanar mapping setting on Standard base materials.
With Triplanar mapping you can properly apply materials to objects even if they do not have suitable UV coordinates.
Triplanar mapping can be applied in Local space (UVs are applied only once and follow the transformation of the object) or World space.
For more information, see "Triplanar" in the "UV" section of the Settings for Standard Materials documentation.
Clear Coat
We added a Clear coat section in the parameters for Standard base materials.
The clear coat is a layer of transparent varnish or resin, on top of the primary base color (Tint), that gives a glossy finish to materials.
Performance Statistics
We have enhanced the Statistics panel by adding texture and mesh management sections (the Textures and Meshes tabs next to the Overview tab) to help optimize performance in scenes.
In these sections, you can find and filter information about size, resolution, and triangle count to quickly identify resource-heavy textures and assets.
Limitations
Internal textures used in materials that cannot be modified (such as the materials applied to the assets in the Library > Characters category) are not taken into account in the Textures tab.
The assets in the Library > Tools section (apart from Section cubes) and Animated paths created in the Populate panel are not taken into account in the Meshes tab.
For more information, see Statistics.
