Exporting Data from Rhino to Twinmotion


In this Simply Rhino video tutorial, our senior Rhino3D Trainer, Phil Cook, takes a look at exporting data from Rhino3D to Twinmotion using the new Datasmith Rhino Exporter.

This new technology, currently in ‘Preview’ mode, has many advantages of the ‘old’ way of moving data to Twinmotion. Layer structures are preserved, and Rhino objects can be moved independently of each other once inside Twinmotion.
Improved Rhino to Twinmotion Workflow
The new Direct Link, which also uses the Datasmith file format, makes it very easy to have Rhino and Twinmotion open together and push design changes in Rhino to Twinmotion for evaluation.
