Rhino 3D Tutorial – Rhino to Twinmotion Series

In this Simply Rhino video tutorial we continue our Rhino to Twinmotion series with an Introduction to Materials, Characters and Vegetation in Twinmotion.

Image shows a screenshot of a scene with a central pavilion designed in Rhino and Grasshopper which has been rendered in Twinmotion.

Our senior Rhino3D Trainer, Phil Cook, starts by using the model brought into Twinmotion in our previous video Exporting data from Rhino3D using the new Datasmith Rhino Exporter.

Applying Twinmotion Materials and Characters

Phil first looks at geo-locating the pavilion model, before applying Twinmotion materials and characters. Phil demonstrates two ways of adding Twinmotion trees, plants and grasses before moving on to create vehicle and character paths for truly dynamic content.

Creating and Exporting a Video from Twinmotion

The video concludes with an explanation of the process of creating and exporting a video.
