Syllabus

Chapter 1 - Advanced Modeling & Setup+
Lesson 1 – Intro & Setup (21:09)

We systematically start the course by importing comprehensive drawings for the iconic Barcelona Pavilion and beginning sophisticated 3D model development using SketchUp's powerful modeling capabilities. This foundational process establishes the precise geometric framework necessary for advanced Twinmotion visualization while ensuring architectural accuracy and detail appropriate for professional presentation standards.

Lesson 2 – Detailed Modelling (1:17:20)

This comprehensive lesson systematically adds intricate detail and sophisticated objects to the building model, ensuring we have the perfect foundation to work with when we advance into Twinmotion's powerful environment. Every architectural element is meticulously crafted to support professional visualization standards while maintaining the geometric precision necessary for advanced rendering techniques and realistic material application.

Lesson 3 – Context & Finishing Touches (24:25)

This concluding lesson on the modeling development systematically geo-locates the building and generates the sophisticated 3D landform to ensure we have accurate environmental context in play throughout the visualization process. Final contextual details are strategically added to the site to provide the correct setting for our advanced scene development, creating the foundation ready for comprehensive Twinmotion implementation.

Chapter 2 - Twinmotion Mastery+
Lesson 4 – Twinmotion Interface (33:08)

The first comprehensive lesson within Twinmotion systematically explains the sophisticated user interface, imports the SketchUp model with precision, and demonstrates how we can efficiently add context buildings to our overall scene for enhanced environmental realism. This foundational exploration establishes efficient workflow patterns that support advanced visualization development throughout the course.

Lesson 5 – Materials (24:42)

A detailed comprehensive lesson systematically explaining everything essential about materials within Twinmotion and their sophisticated settings to maximize realism and visual authenticity. You'll master advanced material properties, surface characteristics, and application techniques that achieve photorealistic results while maintaining efficient workflow practices suitable for professional project delivery and client presentation requirements.

Lesson 6 – Vegetation & Landscaping (28:32)

Twinmotion offers incredibly powerful vegetation painting and scatter tools that enable you to efficiently populate your architectural scene with detailed trees and sophisticated 3D grass systems. This comprehensive lesson provides everything you need to master these advanced tools and systematically fill your models with lush greenery that enhances spatial context and environmental authenticity for compelling architectural presentations.

Lesson 7 – Objects & Assets (32:28)

The comprehensive objects library within Twinmotion is remarkable, and many of these sophisticated objects are pre-animated, so they activate dynamically within your videos or VR walkthroughs for enhanced realism. Here we systematically explain all objects available to you and demonstrate how to work strategically with them when pre-animated, ensuring seamless integration and professional results throughout your visualization projects.

Lesson 8 – Quixel Megascans (22:58)

Building systematically on the previous lesson covering Twinmotion's massive library, they've recently added comprehensive Quixel Megascans library integration for unprecedented material authenticity. This extensive library contains photorealistic scanned assets and textures that dramatically enhance your scene's realism and visual credibility. This essential lesson demonstrates advanced integration techniques that distinguish professional architectural visualization work.

Chapter 3 - Advanced Features & Integration+
Lesson 9 – Characters & Vehicles (25:22)

This comprehensive lesson systematically completes the in-depth exploration of the extensive library available to you, strategically combining two important asset categories that most professional scenes require: people and vehicles. These two asset types have been combined because they can be systematically animated along defined paths, enabling you to show people walking and cars traveling when you render videos, maximizing the dynamic potential of your architectural presentations.

Lesson 10 – Lighting & Environment Setup (45:58)

Within Twinmotion, you systematically geo-locate your architectural model for accurate sun lighting that reflects real-world conditions. You can also comprehensively alter your background and sky settings for ultimate environmental control. This lesson covers all essential topics on setting up your environment and global lighting settings, concluding with artificial lighting for both interior and exterior applications, including advanced features such as adding atmospheric fog to external night scenes that dramatically change the mood and visual impact.

Lesson 11 – Tools (20:00)

This represents the final comprehensive option in the library panel of Twinmotion, containing an extensive range of sophisticated features including section planes and reflection probes that enhance visualization capabilities. This lesson systematically explores all additional tools available to maximize the potential of your architectural projects while maintaining professional workflow efficiency and visual quality standards.

Lesson 12 – Cameras & Media Exports (32:12)

This lesson systematically advances to setting up your cameras and images for comprehensive rendering output to file formats of your choosing. Twinmotion offers an extensive range of image and camera settings that ensure your renders achieve perfect quality for any presentation requirement. This lesson provides everything you need to produce beautiful, professional images that meet contemporary architectural visualization standards.

Lesson 13 – Bridge to Unreal Engine (12:18)

Epic Games develops both Twinmotion and Unreal Engine, creating a seamless integration link between the two powerful platforms. Unreal Engine offers the advanced ability to elevate your projects to the next level with increased realism and the capability to export your project as a working interactive experience. This lesson systematically explains how to bring your project into Unreal Engine and explores key features that expand your visualization possibilities.

Lesson 14 – Path Tracer Rendering (20:24)

In the release of Twinmotion 2022, they added an incredibly powerful feature called Path Tracer that represents cutting-edge rendering technology. This is the same sophisticated technology that V-Ray and Corona Renderer utilize, enabling you to vastly improve the realism of your images directly within Twinmotion's environment. This essential 20-minute lesson provides everything you need to master this advanced rendering capability.

Lesson 15 – Lumen (16:58)

Within the new release of Twinmotion 2023.2, we have access to a brand new global illumination technology transferred directly from Unreal Engine's advanced capabilities. This GI technology is called 'Lumen' and represents an incredibly realistic approach to lighting your architectural scene with enhanced reflection quality and texture authenticity that defines cutting-edge real-time rendering capabilities.
