Twinmotion

Award-winning Twinmotion is a real-time 3D immersion software that produces high-quality images, panoramas and standard or 360° VR videos in seconds. Developed for architecture, construction, urban planning and landscaping professionals, Twinmotion combines an intuitive icon-driven interface with the power of Unreal Engine by Epic Games. Twinmotion is extremely easy to learn and use, regardless of the size and complexity of the project, the materials, the user’s IT knowledge or their preferred BIM modeler. Direct synchronization with Archicad allows users to move from the BIM model to a VR experience in only three clicks.

Lumion

Immediately set up a live, real-time visualization between Archicad and Lumion. Change the Archicad model’s shape and you’ll see these changes taking place, in real-time, in Lumion’s breathtaking, lifelike environment.

As you continue modeling in Archicad, you can simultaneously view your project in Lumion surrounded by an immersive, fully featured landscape (mountains, water, grass). Beautiful materials make the design 'pop', while photo-realistic lighting suddenly heightens your sense of environment, realism, and depth.

Enscape

Enscape is a great 3D rendering software for Archicad. By using Enscape, users will be able to experience their projects as if they were already built with photorealistic renders and 3D walkthroughs. 

Enscape’s real-time rendering plugin integrates smoothly with Archicad so as not to disrupt the design workflow. A great tool for creating an Archicad render, they can then be used for client presentations and internal design processes.

Model Port

Not only can users import, edit and change settings for a wide variety of objects such as OBJ, FBX and DAE, but now we’ve extended these capabilities to importing Archicad elements and objects. This means after you import a Revit, SketchUp or IFC object using Archicad’s built-in importer, you can then use ModelPort to…

  • Manage Archicad objects created by Revit,  SketchUp or IFC imports

  • Clean up and manage Morphs converted from imported objects

  • Create objects from model elements such as Walls, Slabs, Roofs, Beams, etc.

  • Add textures to any imported surface

  • Delete selected meshes in the ModelPort Editor

  • Reduce polygon count & file size of Archicad objects created from RVT/SKP/IFC models
