It doesn't work. Animation in Unreal Engine and Twinmotion is just between translation, rotation and zoom. You need to recreate some script using a scale to define visibility.

@@virtuart4d then how you done this animation video? using unreal blueprint or any other software to replace synchro?

@@virtuart4d any other idea to do synchro to twinmotion

I usually download the animated fbx and use it as a reference with the polyanimator script.

It depends. Because in this project it was the complete cycle. Modeling in Revit, 4D to proposal in Synchro and then converting the 4D animation to animation in Unreal Engine. I did everything alone, but usually with partners covering other activities, it could be 2-3 weeks.

Tudo bom? Foi feito com material com o opacity mask de 0-1. Ou life bar que também funciona de 0-1. Então uma variável Float vai definir a %. Nesse caso eles estão ligados ao calender interno do plugin do Synchro, com a formula =IF(((StartDate-ActualDate)/Duration)<0=0,IF((StartDate-ActualDate)/Duration)>1=1, (StartDate-ActualDate)/Duration)). Ou você pode ligar essa variável de 0-1 no sequencer, fazendo a porcentagem.

@@virtuart4d valeu mestre!

Is Cesium Plugin.

@@virtuart4dHow are you linking your timeline data into Unreal, it looks really good

Tudo bom Marco? Mandou para qual? Pode mandar email para contato@virtuart4d.com ou contact@virtuart4d.com. Obrigado

Circulars are made with normal material. (Filling with a mask hiding from 0 to 1 and then using the function at the end to transform it into a circle. They can be animated in 2 ways; manually in the sequencer or with some mathematical percentage formula based on the sequencer's time. The timeline was created with a life bar in the widgets. Animation in the same way.

I make it in Synchro 4D Pro. The infographics are 3d meshes with grow simulator.

It was a Bentley plugin, but it was cancelled.

Bentley actually canceled it. I talked to a lot of people and there are companies that use 3dsmax scripts and export them to unreal. Others do it in the Unreal Engine with their own programming. I intend to develop my own blueprint in the future, but I haven't started yet.

@@virtuart4d Look like they're pivoting to LumenRT / NVIDIA Omniverse

@@AIWarper Yes, I saw. But my interest is in interactive platforms. I do it in Unreal Engine because of the ease of using Blueprints. I'm still unsure whether using Nvidia I can use 4D within omnivberse and create infographics, functions, etc. And also if I'm not mistaken, the programming is in C++. Not counting the value.

@@virtuart4d I've spoken directly with Bentley (yesterday). They still have a beta plugin that is compatible with 5.0.3 UE. I suggest reaching out to them and getting that plugin

Cesium Plugin

I've animated a lot of Unreal/Twinmotion construction equipment. But you have to go through the whole process. Export FBX from Unreal and do Rigging in 3dsmax/blender. It's simpler to make skins and bones into equipment. I also used equipment from 3dwarehouse.

@@virtuart4dThank you. Is it impossible to sell me your converted models?)

Lumen only in rendering. Which gives much more quality when rendering and in much less time. Because rendering videos in path trace is very, very time-consuming. In 3dsmax it was just the animation to import into Twinmotion.

Hi I was using the Bentley plugin for this integration. But they canceled the plugin, so this model is on hold. In the future I intend to make my own plugin, but there is no date at the moment.

Thanks. Bentley will cancel the plugin. So I still don't have a solution on what to do.

Hi, yes, i work with companies in Brazil. With some clients in England, USA, United Arab Emirates and Australia.

Is it possible to see your work somewhere? Or is this confidential information?

​@@yeast5547 Most are confidential. But I usually release these materials here on RUclips or on my LinkedIn, which uses some information that is not confidential or extracts from these projects www.linkedin.com/in/peleias

No momento não, a Bentley esta cancelando o plugin do Unreal e esta em hold.

a Bentley esta cancelando o plugin do Unreal e o arquivo FBX do Synchro Pro vem com animação por cores e visibilidade o que não é compativel com o Unreal.

Não da pelo navisworks, quem usa o 3dsmax tem que criar seu próprio script de animação por cronograma. Conheci algumas empresas que tem isso.

Not have.

As the archiviz quality level is not very high, I export it with datasmisth and texture in Unreal. Currently I've been making a lot of changes within Unreal itself too, in the modeling tab, changing ID materials, UV maps, etc. I didn't optimize practically anything, since I used Nanite.

Thanks

I would have to see an example of what you are talking about.

In Twinmotion, in folder Tools/Virtual Production and Led Wall. You can choose Texture / Video

@MuhammadAtrsh To facilitate prototyping. Easily use all UI Design concepts, and gain approval from the client and stakeholders. Then I export the PNG file to Unreal and use it as a base to create the layout. In a workflow, the UI Design creator sends the layout to programmers and developers and they have to do it. In this case, I have both functions combined.

Thanke you 👍👍

In Synchro, create a 3D path with a generic value, without being in any task. 1 keyframe with 0,0,0 and no other points 0,0,3 for example. In the task property, select this 3D path and activate the reverse option.

@@virtuart4d Thank you for your reply! I am now facing another issue. When exporting a Datasmith file from iTwin using the Merge Meshes option, upon entering Unreal, there is no schedule animation file. When I click play, it defaults to playing from the middle of the animation. How can I adjust it to start from the beginning? And how can I control the playback and pause of the animation?

@@zhanhuajie Link to an empty level sequence in unreal. But what I like to do most is place an object below the scene, a sphere, connected to the main timeline line with a generic 3D Path as I said above. (without grow simulation, so it doesn't go into the combined mesh) This way it creates an level sequence with the total time of the schedule and is better for placing equipment and other animations.

@@virtuart4d Why is the sliced effect animation I play in UE5 only showing half, and it’s different from when played in iTwin? For instance, the floor animation always starts from the middle, and the animation doesn’t play in full.

@@zhanhuajie @virtuart4d I also have the same problem. After the datasmith file is imported into ue5, the animation played cannot be as smooth as in synchro.

I had a lot of things already ready for the Unreal project. But putting the animation in Twinmotion was a bit of a trial and error. Besides, it is very slow to upload animation with so many elements. ruclips.net/video/hsTIbt9bvsQ/видео.htmlsi=pJIH2lJ1cauFAuE_

Hi! I am trying to find the best workflow from 4d simulation software (like navisworks or synchro) to unreal engine. So this plugin iTwin does not work anymore?

Yes, not work

@virtuart4d thanks for answering me! Unfortunately, I'm facing different difficulties trying to find the best way to animate 4D simulations. Would be nice if navisworks or synchro had a real time rendering plugin like enscape for revit

@@ygorgarcia6989 Some companies I talked to have their own 3dsmax script to do timeline-based animations. I was putting it off but there is only one viable option; Create my own routine via blueprint for Unreal Engine. I still don't know how I'll do it, but next year I'm thinking about focusing on that.

It's the Bentley plugin. (Itwin Datasmith exporter). But it is being cancelled. I don't know what the future will be like.

Thanks, this ITWIN Plugin on which version of Unreal does it work on? 5.1.1?@@virtuart4d

I use in unreal 5.1

@@virtuart4d Thanks for the confirmation, is anything additional required apart from unreal, synchro and the plugin?

For 4d only Synchro Pro with Synchro control(can use free with trial). In Unreal only blueprints to make this and the plugin.

A blender helps too.

It was PHOTOMETRY, using CAPTURE REALITY recording the Google Earth screen.

This was a test with Twinmotion using it for conceptual animation for proposals and Bids. In this case, I used synchro as a reference and then made the animation, evaluating whether it was faster this way.

​@@virtuart4dwhich one is faster?

This case was with 3dsmax using animation script.

@@virtuart4d Can you share the basic process? thanksss

I used 3dsmax. With animation script. But any 3D software that generates an animated FBX will do. (I had to go through blender to fix a UV Maps issue) There are companies, I've already spoken to some, that have their own animation scripts based on a schedule. In this case, they create the entire schedule in P6 and then play it in the script. But they usually render with Vray.

@@virtuart4d I was hoping to be able to export animated fbx's from Bentley Synchro to use in TwinMotion, but Bentley keeps making it harder to get such a thing. They used to have a workflow to get into Unreal, but they ended support and it was a pain.

This synchro fbx won't work. I'm using it as a reference in 3dsmax. Because Twinmotion does not accept the visibility attribute (not even unreal).@@somemuffins4u

@@virtuart4d would it be possible to share the script that you've used?

I don't have that script. I tried with these people and they didn't pass me. I wanted too. I used PolyAnimator (3dsmax). There are other similar scripts@@8ightbogs

Foi uma animação em 3dsmax, usando script. E depois usando a nova funcionalidade. Mas deu muitos erros, ainda esta em beta.

There is no specific course. But if you're going to focus on Unreal Engine, you'll need a blueprint or C++ course for software development. With this, you can create anything.
