New Delhi, August 22, 2020: We’re excited to announce that Twinmotion 2020.2 is now available! With new tools for animation and phasing, more realistic materials and effects, and new animated and smart assets, Twinmotion 2020.2 brings another dimension to fast, easy, real-time archviz.
New features
Animation and phasing tools Interactive, parametric doors
An extensive range of new door assets have been added—including single, double, sliding, and pocket—that will automatically fit (snap and scale) to existing openings, and can be set to automatically open based on the proximity of the camera and/or people assets. With the ability to select different styles, handles, hinges, and casing, the range of possible variations is vast.
Animator objects
New Animator objects enable you to link any object to a rotation or translation widget in order to animate your own custom objects such as doors, windows, and elevators. Presets are included for a children’s roundabout, a lifting barrier, an industrial gate, and a retractable bollard.
Faster, easier phasing
Added a new multi-track timeline-based Phasing tool that makes it much faster and easier to create phased video of your project’s construction schedule, or to present different variations sequentially.
Enhanced realism
More realistic water -The Water material has been improved to better reflect changes in depth and to increase the rendering quality, enabling you to create more realistic lakes, ponds, rivers, and pools.
More realistic rain and puddles -Rain generated by the weather system now makes surfaces wetter and forms puddles in a more realistic way, enabling you to better simulate rainy day scenes.
Enhanced car material –The material used on provided car assets now includes a clear coat effect that simulates a layer of varnish applied over a surface, enabling you to more realistically simulate car paint.
New and updated assets
East Asian trees –We’ve added 15 new trees commonly found in China, Japan, and Korea. Each tree comes in four seasons and three ages. This enables projects based in the region to more accurately reflect the native environment.
New construction vehicles –We’ve replaced several of the existing construction vehicle assets with higher-quality versions that feature animated rigs and offer the ability for customization with your company’s own logo, enabling you to more realistically visualize the construction phase of your project.
Customizable smart aircraft –We’ve added new aircraft assets that can be customized with different colors on different parts, and a custom logo. In addition, these aircraft react to the time of day by turning on lights at night.
ONE | This update contains a raft of new assets, smart tools, and datasmith format import that make real-time visualization even easier for architects! Here is a glimpse of what’s coming:

-Create a bridge with the Megascans library to increase the number of resources available in Twinmotion.
-Continue to create content through partnerships.
-Exporting interactive presentations to the Twinmotion Cloud, so that the architect can continue to work and present his work on the web.
-Harmonize the user interface with the forthcoming arrival of the EU5.
-Offer more powerful Partner/TwinmotionDirectlinks with the Datasmith API.
