A Twinmotion alternative with no scene setup
Twinmotion is powerful and free for many offices, but you still have to install it, have a good graphics card and build the scene. In RendScene you send a screenshot or the model and pick a style.
- Nothing to install: runs in the browser, on any computer
- No graphics card, no setting up lights and materials: the AI does it
- 5 free renders to try, no credit card

What Twinmotion is
Twinmotion, by Epic Games, is a real-time visualization program built on Unreal Engine and installed on your computer. You bring the model in through the plugin, set up materials, lighting and vegetation and take the image or video.
RendScene vs Twinmotion
Twinmotion details taken from its official website. See what each one asks of you before the image is ready.
| RendScene | Twinmotion | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | AI rendering in the browser | Real-time visualization program (Unreal Engine) with a path tracer |
| Installation | None: opens in the browser | Install the program and the Datasmith / Direct Link plugin |
| Computer | Any, even a basic laptop; it doesn’t use your graphics card | Minimum 6 GB of video memory and 16 GB RAM; on Mac, M1/M2 with 32 GB |
| Operating system | Windows, Mac, Linux and phone (in the browser) | Windows 10/11 and macOS (no path tracer or virtual reality on Mac) |
| How you get the image | Send a screenshot, photo, floor plan or 3D model and pick a style; the AI handles light and materials | You build the scene: materials, lights, vegetation and camera |
| Time to the first image | A few minutes, no scene setup | Instant once the scene is ready; the path tracer takes longer |
| Edits and video | Describe or point at what to change and the AI redoes it; short videos from the render that you can join in sequence | High: video sequences, panoramas, virtual reality (Windows) and path tracer |
| Price | 5 free renders; plans from US$ 29/month (100 credits, about US$ 0.29 per render) | Free below a revenue limit, but needs a PC with a strong graphics card; paid license above the limit |

What changes in your day-to-day
With Twinmotion
Install the program and plugin, have a computer with a good GPU (at least 6 GB of video memory and 16 GB RAM on Windows), learn to set up materials, lighting and vegetation, and prepare the scene for every project.
With RendScene
Send a screenshot and get realistic images in a few minutes, ready for the client. Nothing to install, no graphics card to buy, no lighting and material setup to learn, on any computer and even on your phone. And it starts free, no credit card.
Try it without giving anything up
If you already use Twinmotion, use RendScene for quick studies and to show the client several styles before building the scene. Send a screenshot of the same model and compare.
