Twinmotion tutorial for beginners | Part 1

[Music] if you're looking for a solution to visualize your architectural projects super fast twin motion is the way to go to get twin motion you need epic games launcher then go to twin motion choose the latest version in this case is 20 21 then press install go make your coffee you may need five cups or more because it's like 20 gigabytes it's gonna take a while be patient once you uninstall it click launch one thing you need to know if you scroll down you will have access to twin motion plugins these plugins here are live links between twin motion and other beam and cad softwares like rivet archicad you guys tell me sketchup bro and other softwares alright so once you launch twinmotion you will be welcomed with an hdri infinite ground quick tutorial and this menu here where we are going to do most of the work to get us started let's go to the big plus button to import our projects you can import in multiple ways you can import simple geometry and you can reload it or you can use the direct link for now let's just keep things simple click on the geometry click on open to locate our project just so you know you can import all types of assets to twin motion fpx sketchup opj cinema 4d and datasmith so if you're using 3ds max or any other tool you can export also to twin motion this is a project i found by danielle and i liked it so i'm going to click open then i'm going to click on options here in collapse you have the ability to collapse meshes by their material so they can be unified merge them together but for me i'm just gonna click here and keep hierarchy or you can also collapse everything depending on what you are working with so sometimes you may not import the full project you may import a card so you have the option to do that keep that in mind so i'm going to click on keep hierarchy then click on fix uvs and textures and keep these two settings on default now i'm gonna click ok and wait usually this takes from few seconds to few minutes depending on the scale of the project now it's finished to navigate in twin motion you may wonder hey i just imported the project where is it just right click and look around and you will find the project here is the tutorial we have right click to move around asdw q and a to move go up and down one through four to change the speed of the project right so four is like plane speed one is like super slow and so on so for me it feels pretty intuitive having my two hands one on the mouse and the other on the keyboard just moving around my project similar to unreal engine so if you press shift then middle mouse button you will orbit around the center of the screen and if you select an object then press shift and orbit you will orbit around the center of that object middle mouse button just to pan your camera if you want to change the behavior to something you're comfortable with you can click on the cogwheel here and i am comfortable with unreal engine so i click on android editor you can set rivet 3ds max archicad you can also change the keyboard settings between pad and touch if you're using a laptop the other option here is push to cloud once you finish your project you have the ability to push it to the cloud and use the cloud presenter i'm just gonna click on this car grill and hide the navigation panel if it allows me can i do that please thank you very much to move around your project again it's a combination between right clicking on the mouse then zooming in and out with a scroll if you like to and asd w q and e again here on the left this arrow is the library you can go to the materials here and look at this you have glass metal wood break all the good stuff look at how many trees we have the ability to tell a specific object that you use a lot in your project hey i love you so when you click here on this ad to favorite it let's say on these two trees and then like this push and the same for materials so let's say the clear glass and the frosted glass and on the brick let's say this guy so here show favorites when you click it you will see your favorite items within this specific folder so if you go to vegetation to trees you can always show your favorites or if you go only to vegetation here just click show favorites again you will see your favorite objects we do have objects and i like how they organize the objects so if you are working with interior projects you can go to home then choose whatever room you're working on if it's an office a bathroom a bedroom a kitchen or a living room so in this case let's say a living room and let's say i like this but it's a placeholder because you know we can see it only from one angle so oh my god this is fake right so we can actually select these two items hold ctrl to select multiple items then let's click delete then let's go to plans here and let's select something so click and drag and it will automatically snap on the normals of a surface and that's one of my favorite things so for example let's select this orchid add it here and hey if you want to make this beer see the translate button here you can hold it there is move rotate and scale and if you hover your mouse over a button you can see that there is a shortcut so 5 to translate or move 6 to rotate 7 to scale this is kinda big so let's control z to undo that and the same for this lamp let's say you don't want to do your selection like this you know it's kinda hard holding ctrl and selecting many objects especially when we work with cad and beam softwares you can actually bring the word outliner from here so if you are organized in your tool of choice you can select the group from here and just delete it let's bring our library back again and let's go to lamps scanner large for the table lamp i'm going to search for table then lamp see if i am lucky maybe not so twin motion guys please add some more assets for us so let's go to lamps here and i'm going to cheat so i'm going to select this expand lamp and scale it down so to scale things up and down you can move your mouse up to scale up or down to scale down all right so if you move left or right this will not work so keep that in mind and we should be good let's say this lamp should also go so we can come here select the group and delete it and we can bring another lamp just like this let's say hey i don't like this color what can we do next to translate there is the material picker and the shortcut for that is t i'm gonna press t then click on this mesh here and you can see this is the material we have we can change the color how much reflective this is the metalness of this object if it's metallic or not and the scale of the texture repetition for now we're just going to change the color so i'm going to make it slightly darker i like this and perhaps we can change let's say this red or this blue i like the red you can store a color you like by clicking one of these empty color stuff and just click store and you should be good so you can use this color over and over if you right click you can disable a selected tool to come back to the translate tool so if you like to add a plant for some reason on this guy's face you can actually do that however let's not do that we have some sofas perhaps this vixen design sofa you can click and drag or you can actually just one click and then place it wherever you like let's say here and i'm going to select this group and delete it sometimes if you want to make sure that hey this is the group i'm deleting you can right click that group and you see here we have many more options one of these nice options is isolate on and off so when we isolate selection like this we can see hey yeah this is the group i want to delete so we can just simply delete right click again and and isolate now we can select our sofa bring it back to where it should yeah we don't like the color press t select the color then go to color here and give it a color you like let's say this color and the same for this here we can make it darker play with the hue a little bit you can also click on the material and drag it to other meshes in this case pillows let's find another coffee table that's similar to this see if we're lucky we have tables here look at this awesome so let's say this table perhaps we can bring these assets and add them to that table the way to do that because let's say hey i like this table i like the setup but i don't want to delete it so i just want to delete the table well look at these containers here you can click on the first mesh then press shift then select all these guys press on the middle area here and you can snap these asses to whatever surface you like i love this the other thing i really recommend doing is keeping our scene graph or the word outliner slightly more organized if you right click on the scene graph here you can create a new container call it meshes and then we can select everything except for our project then move these guys to the new folder we made so we can keep stuff organized i love keeping stuff organized let's say we would like to change this texture so i'm going to my materials and then i'm going to find something similar to this which is in this case could be concrete or i can just search for concrete tiles and there we go here are the concrete tiles we have in our library i like the fact that we can preview our materials before we place them into our project page so let's say these styles are nice i actually like these styles or these styles as well these orders i'm gonna keep these the sofa here is kinda red so let me also fix that 236 so that's full weight let's go to wall coverings and here we have some plaster you can drag plasters coating stuff like this you can always change the tint of this color so it could be this but for now i'm gonna just keep it really simple coding here let's say this maybe this is nice or we can go with the plaster option we have here and we can increase the scale so we can see some detail something like this let's say looking good the glass let's see if we can find something else so there's office sticker i like this square stickers so many options to choose from this is why when you find something nice you can't tell it hey i love you and then click this we also do have qxel mega scans let's say you want more concrete options you can click on concrete you can find all these options for the say slab look at that i would like to try this option here so i'm gonna just click download it took seconds only and then i can click and drag and assign it on this object and look at that you have noticed when we click on the material and assign it on a mesh it's going to replace all the meshes with the same material you can change this behavior by clicking here where it says replace material then just click on apply to object and now we can change this separately and this looks fine for me the other thing i want to do is changing this so i'm going back to my library go to materials ground nature and just find something like this let's say grass 2 looks fine can just make it grass why not yeah let's make it grass let's make its wavy sound alright so this here i think it has the same material as the walls so we can go back to our materials then go to something like metal and keep this on apply to object and then we can bring our brushed aluminum or something nice to deselect you can press escape the other cool thing i love about the library we have is the amount of characters we have so you have animated humans look at this all of these guys here are animated and you can place them in your project so for example asthma click and drag hold press f to focus selection and again shift middle mouse button to move around so if you click on the character here you can change the clothing for her in this case you can change the animation so speaking for example let's add an echo she is ignoring asthma so let's also set speaking and stop ignoring asthma please alright look at that and there are also multiple types of animations there is also special animations so now she is playing piano music and there there's job one job two playing video games sit on the sofa who can play video games with you sitting dancing stop dancing bro just sit let's go today we made two friends who is the noob and who is winning all right we also do have groups of people that's great for exterior projects let's move these guys here but i got a better idea i'm going to put group 7 here people waiting to play video games please wait here thank you very much we have both humans so if you don't want any animations you can just add these photo scanned humans we have cutouts and they will also rotate to the camera obviously where is michael michelle let's put michelle outside somewhere here and let's add a friend to michelle we do have a cat i remember felix felix can we make felix big no one mess with felix please he's gonna eat you we do have big library of vegetables as well so people who came here they have a car or a bus just waiting outside boats aircraft construction stuff and i think this collection recently got to unreal engine marketplace what else do we have we have tools so if you like to showcase the section of a project you can click there we go so this is the sections i'm going to press 5 to choose to move and then move my section here and it's just going to create a cut out for me and you can change thickness of the section the color what i really recommend doing is going through all these the library and just discover it for yourself it's really so much fun asma what are you doing [Music] you
