About Twinmotion
Twinmotion is a real-time visualization tool for architecture and design from Epic Games, the company behind Unreal Engine. It is used to bring models created in CAD and BIM software to life as rendered images, animations and interactive presentations, without needing a specialist rendering pipeline.
Because it renders in real time, changes to a model, such as materials, lighting and surroundings, appear immediately, which suits design reviews and client presentations. Twinmotion is proprietary software distributed by Epic Games and is installed on the user's computer rather than self-hosted.
