I have used Vectorworks for CAD and Artlantis for rendering trade show exhibits for the last 15 years. Artlantis allows you to Drag and Drop logos and graphics into a 3D scene seamlessly in real time from the desktop. The only thing stopping me (and several others in my field) from using Twinmotion moving forward is the lack of this option. Is there a simple way to add graphic (jpg, png, psd) files to a wall or 3D object that doesn’t involve multiple steps or importing from another 3D program? If not, what will it take to make this happen? It’s such an amazing feature that no one else seems to offer. Adding graphic files in Vectorworks is complicated and in the trade show business we need to provide multiple renderings on a daily basis. Example attached of a simple inline exhibit that I can drag and drop a logo in Artlantis, (which no longer offers this option after V2021) Thank you for your time.

hello tyler - this is in fact very easy to do in twinmotion with the use of decals. in the TM library go into decals, scroll all the way down, pick ‘square shadow’ and place it on your scene. you can then change the texture of the decal to your preferred graphic. if its a png file, you can use the embedded alpha mask, or you can add a bw alpha map. here’s a quick video showing how to do all of this: Dropbox Capture
THANK YOU! I appreciate taking the time to make a video as well - this is exactly what I was looking for.
