Interior rendering especially can take a long time and more so if the computer has to calculate a lot of lights that add very little to scene. For detailed shots, focus instead on what is in the shot. For wide shots showing everything, the render times would be rediculous and you could achieve most of the same look by simplifying the lighting layout. In your example of an airport, it is unlikely you will show all of those lights. I would focus on a 'storyboard' of sorts first: which parts of the building will you show in the presentation. Rather they, indeed, expect you to make use of their lighting effects instead.

I don't think Twinmotion will support converting either of these, since they have to support a fairly large number of different sources (revit, archicad, sketchup, etc etc).

The ArchiCAD lights you are referring to are either lamp objects (with fixtures) that are very crude for rendering light (as in have severely limited parameters to set up) or the more advanced 'light sources', which are catered towards getting all the fancy effects out of Cinerender, but do not have any 3D model for a fixture. This basically is the workflow: you add the lighting (effects) in the external render program. Zero experience with Twinmotion, but I used to work with Artlantis Render. Thank you all in advance, if anyone knows the answer I'd be really thankful. I cannot find if I am doing something wrong, or simply the lights are not part of the sync. I tried a few Google Searches regarding 'Archicad Twinmotion Light' and 'Archicad Twinmotion Lamp Export' but so far no luck.

I'm adding the Cinerender file as a reference to how lighting is working properly on Archicad 22. Did anyone have a similar experience, or found a solution? but I could not find ( perhaps newbie problem as I am still new to the interface ) where to 'Turn On' the lights. Some are Archicad native lamps, others are imported BIM lamps, and all work fine on Archicad, where in Cinerender it is all set and perfect.įor presentation, I tried to test TwinMotion 2019, and it seems the Live Connection, both on Archicad 21 and Archicad 22, the lights are not sent to TwinMotion. The Archicad project has a somewhat complex ( as in, would be very hard to redo if needed and somewhat undesirable, because in a more complex design it could make it very work intensive to redo lighting each time something changes on Archicad and I need to perform a presentation ) lighting layout, the lights are very specific, they play the role as washers and floor lighting, and much of it is set for mood. I did a test today, for my end thesis project in college.
