The lack of interoperability between them can mean wasted effort, with work done early on thrown away rather than being reused later in the pipeline. It’s all part of a wider story-the whole architectural design process often takes place in a series of silos. Epic has been making efforts to improve interoperability in this part of the pipeline with things like Twinmotion's Direct Link plugins. It’s not just visualization tools-this is a frustration with all architectural software, starting with CAD tools. What they’ve created is often completely unusable and untranslatable in the later stages of design and development. People at AEC firms spend a lot of time making a render as impressive as it can be with these tools, only to have to stop there.
That can be frustrating, because it means they are inherently limited. Most rendering tools currently on the market are closed boxes. It might seem like a small step, but there are a number of reasons why this development could be a boon for AEC companies. With Unreal Engine’s powerful features at their fingertips, teams have the open-ended flexibility and creative freedom to truly differentiate their projects.
The Twinmotion Importer enables you to start a project in Twinmotion and take it into Unreal Engine to leverage the advanced feature set the engine offers. The power to truly differentiate projects This is where the new Twinmotion Importer plugin comes in. Anyone on your team can easily work with Twinmotion to develop the basic idea and when you reach the limits of Twinmotion, you can pass that project over to Unreal Engine to take it further. This is a unique benefit of working with our solutions. Our answer to this is start in Twinmotion, finish in Unreal Engine.
Once you have your CAD data in a visualization tool, some additional questions crop up: does my project look the same as my competition? Can I achieve any ambition? And how quickly can I iterate on an idea? Recently, we started researching a real-time connection between Revit and Unreal Engine via Datasmith as a demonstration of our commitment to improve on how you connect with design data-stay tuned for further details on this. For years, we’ve been making it easier to get your CAD data into Unreal Engine and Twinmotion, our real-time visualization solutions. Firms benefit from the fast, iterative workflows that digital tools provide, but often experience challenges moving data along the pipeline from one to the next.Īt Epic Games, we believe the next phase of digital transformation for AEC is the development of a seamless, open, real-time pipeline. Using different software across different teams has created a digital Tower of Babel, with few of these tools able to talk effectively to the others. Having undergone a digital shift, many architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms are now on a plateau.
