Final test of both lighting systems

Twinmotion is a great visualization tool to showcase mostly architecture and various landscape projects. I can see this being used for so much more. It's a great way to put together a concept and demo for a team or potential clients. I wanted to test this out and see what kinds of things I may use this for. I can see using this as a backdrop for interfaces. There are some interactions you can do as well.

In this example, people walking can interact with lights in the environment. I have a person walking a cross walk that lights as you walk across. The other example is walking under a ball light sculpture and as a person walks under the ball of lights it moves like a wave as they cross the walkway.

These had some challenges but am happy with the results. I only touched the surface with all the things you can do with this software. Overall, I had a good time using it and if I was in architecture, construction, urban planning, and landscaping would use this as one of my tools.
