Hello TM-Devs,
Apple just announced the new M3 SOC platform with Hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Now there should be no more excuses to not making Path Tracer available in the Mac version of Twinmotion. Any information about it?
Kind Regards,
Roman

I tested the new LUMEN function, which is very interesting and effective for some models. It’s very encouraging and help to wait for a true path tracer, but at the same time rather frustrating, as it doesn’t deal with the subject of reflections, which is still very penalizing.
Would it be possible to imagine a mixed option for the final rendering of a scene with LUMEN lighting and software path tracer (i.e. time-consuming) just for reflections?
Would it be possible to keep calculation times to a reasonable level and still achieve a satisfactory result?
Really hope the M3 will sort all this out

Bonjour,

Je suis Ă©galement impatiente que Twinmotion soit complĂštement compatible avec les mac.
Je suis sur macbook pro M3max 16 coeurs sous sonoma avec une config ram Ă  64 Go et Twinmotion est instable. Path Tracer n’est pas disponible, un seul format d’export en 2K ce qui limite Ă©normĂ©ment la qualitĂ© des rendus et le Datasmith avec Archicad 25 ne fonctionne pas.
J’espĂšre que les problĂšmes seront rĂ©solus prochainement


Cordialement

Anyone tried unreal 5.4 preview? I installed it but still no raytracing or pathtracing

2k limitation is not related to mac. it is related to ‘community edition’

Certe l’export 2K est liĂ© Ă  l’édition communautaire mais c’est la seule version avec l’option Lumen.
Et bien Ă©videment je n’ai pas envie de payer une version commerciale alors qu’elle ne fonctionne pas complĂštement sur Mac. J’attends donc la derniĂšre mise Ă  jour de fin avril 2024 qui supprimera l’édition communautaire et qui sera gratuite pour tous y compris la version commerciale avec un seuil de CA pour les entreprises. J’espĂšre que d’ici lĂ  le Path Tracer sera disponible pour Mac.

C’est maintenant juin, cela a-t-il Ă©tĂ© rĂ©solu ? Lumen fonctionne-t-il maintenant ? Est-ce gratuit ? Pouvez-vous exporter Ă  plus de 2K ? Merci !
