Hi everyone,
I also want to add my voice in on this request as well. (perhaps also on behalf of my workplace)
I'm currently writing from my private account, but I work professionally as an architect (in a firm with over 700 employees, one of the largest in our region in Europe). I am also involved in promoting and educating in different render programs at our office, so I have a say in which softwares we adopt as our main visualisation tools.
With the whole intro out of the way, I've been following Twinmotion for some time now and with the somewhat recent adoption of pathtracing in your realtime render software, I believe you suddenly have a product that can create images that surpass the quality of most of your direct real-time competitors. (currently Enscape is the absolute industry standard in my country, used in practically every architecture firm in one way or another)
I have just recently used your render engine to make final production renders of one of our current projects and the result has been most impressive (especially given how quickly this was achieved). It certainly has convinced me, that Twinmotion is a very, very viable candidate for being our future go-to real-time renderer, especially with your new partership with Autodesk - litterally every employee in our organisation has a Revit licence, so we'll all have access to Twinmotion in the near future.
With all this said, one of the main reasons that I am still reserved about promoting Twinmotion in our company, is the above mentioned lack of option to render with render elements (material ID, depth, etc., etc.). As many other users here have mentioned, these extra render layers are an absolute must and without them, I think locally, our architecture (and viz.) industry as a whole still considers Twinmotion an interactive toy, rather than the powerful, user friendly visualisation powerhouse that it truly has the potential to be.
It must be annoying to keep hearing the same comments and requests regarding this, from hoards of users here on the forum, but it should really emphasize just how incredibly important this feature is.
Thank you for your product and I still plan to experiment with more professional projects in your software in the future, but I hope one day, that Twinmotion adds such features, so we can truly embrace it in our professional workflow.
I have other thoughts on the product and experience, if you should be interested to contact me, but I'll keep it relevant to the post here.
Cheers,
Andy
