+ Key Takeaways & AI Generated Time Stamped Notes

• Fixing Texture Scaling: For correct texture scaling, set UV mapping to “World Space” instead of the default “Triplanar.”
• Enabling Lumen: Turn on Lumen in the Render settings for significantly more accurate and realistic lighting, especially for shadows and reflections.
• Managing Scene Complexity: Use containers to group assets (e.g., Assets, Night Lights) and control visibility, simplifying the scene for different views or lighting scenarios.
• Creating Lighting Variations: Duplicate media views to create distinct lighting setups (e.g., day vs. night). Use separate light containers (Daylighting, Night Lights) to toggle them per view.

Topics

Initial Setup & Texture Application

• Model Import: Imported a SketchUp model into Vectorworks, then exported to Twinmotion.
• Texture Scaling Fix: Textures initially appeared too small due to incorrect UV mapping.
  • Solution: Change the UV setting from “Triplanar” to “World Space” to apply correct, real-world scaling.
• Material Application: Applied base materials (wood, chrome, plaster) to major surfaces.
  • Tip: Use “Replace” mode to quickly swap SketchUp materials with Twinmotion assets.
  • Tip: For unique surfaces (e.g., ceiling), duplicate a base material to create an independent version for separate color/property adjustments.

Scene Propping with Library Assets

• Desk: Populated with electronics (laptop, headphones) and decorative items (books, vase).
• Bookshelves: Filled with book stacks and knickknacks to add visual interest.
• Furniture: Replaced a generic chair with a higher-quality model from Sketchfab.
  • Tip: Save favorite assets to the User Library for easy reuse in other projects.

Lighting Setup & Refinement

• Lumen Activation: Enabled Lumen in Render settings for a dramatic improvement in lighting quality.
• Spotlights (IES): Added IES lights to the ceiling.
  • Tip: Adjust Attenuation to control light throw distance and Cone to focus the beam.
  • Tip: Instance lights (Shift + Drag) to link their properties, allowing for simultaneous adjustments to color, intensity, and shadow settings.
• Shelf Lighting (Strip Lights): Used strip lights to illuminate bookshelves.
  • Tip: Create separate instances (Shift + Drag) to allow for individual color adjustments, creating a “funky” neon effect.
• Organization: Grouped all lights into containers (Spotlights, Neons, Omni Lights) for easy management.

Final Renders & Variations

• Camera Settings: Fine-tuned camera settings for final output.
  • Auto Exposure: Enabled, then manually adjusted for precise control.
  • Local Exposure: Increased to enhance highlights and deepen shadows.
  • Depth of Field (DoF): Used with a zoomed-in focal length to create a blurred background and focus on a specific object (the laptop).
• Scene Variations: Created multiple views to showcase different lighting and moods.
  • Day vs. Night: Duplicated a view, then used “Copy Ambience” and “Paste Ambience” to quickly apply a new environment (e.g., morning HDRI).
  • Lighting Toggle: Used the Daylighting and Night Lights containers to toggle the appropriate light groups for each view.
• Output: Rendered the final views at 4K resolution.
