Twinmotion and Civil 3D

[neilyj666]

Whilst Twinmotion seems to be included with Revit, is there a similar workflow for Civil 3D/Infraworks?

It's simply just too damn confusing by how it's been branded. No other place I have found mentions anything besides Maya and Revit as use with Twinmotion.

Revit is the big seller that all the fancy marketing graphics show; Civil 3D is the forgotten child that is unlikely ever to catch up with Revit in terms of functionality.

I luckily got in on the free for life when Epic Games purchased it from Abvent. I created 3 accounts to ensure I would have it forever for free...lol.

Autodesk's marketing team(s) that determine software names needs to be fired and replaced. What's the current name for Autodesk's cloud system? A360 (Autodesk 360), BIM360, ACC (Autodesk Construction Cloud), BIM Collaborate for BIM 360, BIM Collaborate for ACC, BIM Collaborate Pro for Autodesk Construction Cloud (BCPACC) etc.? Who knows anymore.

Probably some Autodesk marketing person:
Hey, let's team up with Epic and make a deal to allow Twinmotion to be used for Revit and AEC Collection users!
Great idea! Let's name it "Twinmotion for Revit" so that people don't realize it's available for AEC users as well. And let's not market it anywhere that users of the AEC Collection that dont' use Revit might see it. How about we let some random person that uses the forums make a post asking questions how it works. That'll spread the news and remove any confusion!

I go from Civil 3D to Infraworks, maybe use 3DS Max (depends on what I'm doing) then to Twinmotion.

Here is a 360 degree animation from Twinmotion. I used the above workflow.

I find the interface for 3ds Max extremely confusing and I haven't used it extensively for that reason. Hopefully by using Twinmotion I can remove the steep learning curve required for 3ds max which will allow me to produce decent animations from my Infraworks exports.
