Board and batten is best when using the material region tool as a trick. Serious rendering artists are not going to use a texture for board and batten unless the composition is from very far away. BTW I already have several high quality siding textures that I give away here on the forums in the symbols and content section or direct from my website in the free stuff section. Your template scene does not need grass to be applied FYI, I personally would prefer it if it weren't and instead was erased but still in the container tree so that we could apply it. Should be applied as the skatter tool instead of the painter tools. I do go over this several times in various twinmotion live videos on my youtube

Because of its ties to unreal 5. The industry is moving in this direction as a whole and unreal has widespread use, much broader than Lumion. Also ease of use and continued developments. Twinmotion produced a pathtracer 2 full quarters sooner than lumion for instance. Another reason, integration with quixel megascans and sketchfab. and one more, twinmotion ships free with autodesk products now and utilizes the datasmith plugin.

Yes keep it up, templating is a good approach I saw the video working on the hillside, the building itself still lacks the secondary maps that would make it realistic. Also noticed you aren't using the pathtracer...I would suggest that you start to build out materials with supporting maps to save to your twinmotion library, and also consider using scene backdrops so you arent flooding the background with trees to hide the undeveloped terrain..this is the purpose of the scene backdrop. This scene for instance only uses two trees, the background is a spherical HDRI You can see it clearly with these two, two totally different HDRI's

You are getting this look because you are not using supportive maps in twinmotion, such as normal/roughness/displacement/metal maps. I would also suggest using generated grass as opposed to a grass texture

New Project to showcase, 1-day turnaround

This is true, as you are introducing new light sources..just like a camera you would need to play with settings to achieve your desired effect. You would need to put them in a container and save the container. You can also save painter groups which is what I wouldve been using to generate the tree line

You can generate your own HDR skydomes so that you dont need to change the weather to generate clouds if you want them. You can also save different tree arrangements to your library

I have some videos on my youtube about working on the same plan at the same time. It is doable, I've done this with @rgardner before

X14, and you May want to check your email for chiefs new subscription model, you’re going to be priced out of new software soon if you don’t keep with the SSA. Just letting you know in case you weren’t aware. maybe time for a new computer surprised to hear that your machine won’t run x14… are you sure? whats your machine make and model?

I have something like this in my pro plan template..see 330 seconds in

Menu button isnt on any of my keyboards..any idea what ascii key it reps? no problem with writing in any number of delays, but slower single threaded processors cannot keep up with really tight delays in some cases. SO I might make a suggestion for a method from chief to access a library search with a single hotkey

What is the "Menu" key? I prefer the radial menus I have setup for my connexion which can also record macros, but every keystroke adds time especially to my slower single threaded speeds on my 14 core

Yeah thats what I came up with. Hotkey for the library 2x followed up ctrl+A+Del. Ugh, annoying.

Is this possible without having to open and close the library? Can we tab into the library search input?

Certainly..but not much more time. I designed this home with no reference material today in 4 hours. The condocs will take another 3 because it is a type of construction I am unfamiliar with. This is threadjacking, but, I am a brand advocate and I think their is a big divide here between the understanding of the casual user as to why this software is getting priced against Revit. So I'll post this

Revit Comparisons.. For those of you that compare this product to revit(aside from their other professional tools), I will be doing a live stream in the next few months in attempt to hit an 8 hour design and condoc with editorial grade renderings...yes, within 8 hours. Revit is a joke for blue-collar residential, if you are comparing the two, then you are likely unaware of the various power users here and their associate youtube channels

Just updated the link, thanks for letting me know

Update to the quick shelf system went out today, please check spam folders and email 20 additional items

POST 90 #freesymbolfriday is early just to bring a bit of cheer surrounding the new subscription model in Chief Architect at The Rabbitt Design Feed I was feeling extra generous this week so I've packed this theme full of goodies from my current trip in Costa Rica. Let's celebrate that such scenes are possible in this software Includes A Beach Backdrop 3 Original Art Pieces by the local artist @stephenkahn A modern thin framed bezel photo frame with a shot of took of some cactus A custom stone wall tile A custom printed concrete floor tile A rough Sawn Beam Material a Chevron Bamboo Material You can get it at www.rabbittdesign.net/symbols or direct at https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArIPOe8v1SrkndsJGm5CWdIct6o4_g?e=veUaef Follow this link for the Rabbitt Design FB Feed for additional content: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3195137837435026/permalink/3207137419568401/ CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!

I think ethan ashby said it best for me...without any roadmap, this news just feels like a betrayal. I'm hoping this leads to better things, and I am a big brand advocate but he's right, we shouldve been given some more context. The optimist in me even feels like big news is around the corner but wont be shared until after Jan 10, which is not how I do business personally..be open and transparent. All conjecture of course

Absolutely, can click on links in my signature for various methods of contact or email at renerabbitt@gmail.com

Just a wild hunch.. More professional tools are coming to further divide the home designer line and the premier line. I would guess that the home designer line will be sufficient for almost all of the hobbyists and occasional tradesmen. I lost a project to a hobbyist last year, no more. You want me to compile your home designer project in premier, great, can do for you, win win. Maybe what I have always wanted for this industry is coming true...collaboration. Absolutely zero reason why you shouldn't hire someone like @M-Reed or @ericepv or @rgardner of the world where the cost-benefit creates additional margin and your timelines are increased in a market short on reputable and accessible designers. Does the 12-project-a-year intermediate drafter need 20% improvement that an intermediate technician might realize in speed from the premier line...No. Use the HD line, its priced accordingly Want the best, pay for it, same as any other product Will I need to repair models done by other technicians overselling their services..yes, but not as often. Looking forward to seeing the user base get more serious. Let's advocate for change. The industry could use an overhaul and I am happy to be more distinguished from the casual user. Funding for the premier line, from my understanding, opinion and perspective comes in part from the sales of the home designer line that moves a lot of units per year. This is a troubled model for business, a few steps away from robbing Peter to pay Paul. This means that Chief has always operated solely on historical data for development, knowing what they could roughly afford, as opposed to hard numbers for their consumer base. Chief is going to need info and demographic sales numbers + more to develop cloud computing, AI, instancing and proxies, polycrunching, BIM and more if they intend to stay relevant, and if you have followed anything in the development industry..this is no small task. Thus far they have relied on infrastructure similar to an established SDK, or maybe related to open source forking etc. This software is becoming more specialized, so they will need more funding for development as we move through this decade into web3.0 and Metaworlds. This announcement is a small hiccup in the automation that is to come.
