With D5 and Twinmotion basically free, I think the archviz community is at the beginning of an overhaul.
The considerable difference in render quality between these real time tools and the traditional Chaosgroup renderers is narrowing. On some really basic interior renderings, the difference is negligible.
Testing the twinmotion 2022 preview for real now, the experience is quite fast. I can exchange some quality drop with this super fast scene population and render times in some cases.
This is where Chaos Vantage(Lavinia) comes into play. It is nearly realtime and is very fast to use. Plus you can switch back to Vray for HQ renders without leaving your pipeline.
Bu yeah, twinmotion is narrowing in. Easy to use and the use of Megascans and population tools is a big plus too. I am a bit exited and frightened at the same time where the journey will go.
Clients will be able to do it all themselves – seamlessly BIM>VR. Why outsource when the project architect can look over the shoulder of the young ‘computer whizz’ intern or architectural assistant. Not yet maybe, but one day for sure, and I imagine sooner than many think.
