Twinmotion 2025.1.1, the latest release of the real time rendering software from Epic Games, supports Nvidia DLSS 4, a suite of neural rendering technologies that uses AI to boost 3D performance. Epic Games shows that when DLSS 4 is enabled in Twinmotion it can render almost four times as many frames per second (FPS) than when DLSS is set to off. DLSS 4 uses a technology called Multi Frame Generation, an evolution of Single Frame Generation, which was introduced in DLSS 3.

It’s rare to see an architectural practice align itself so openly with a specific technology. But Studio Tim Fu is breaking that mould. Built from the ground up as an AI-first practice, the London-based studio is unapologetically committed to exploring how generative AI can reshape architecture—from the earliest concepts to fully constructable designs.

Lumion has unveiled Lumion View, a new visualisation plug-in that allows architects to visualize their projects in a path-traced real-time viewport without having to leave their primary modelling environment. The software is billed as an early-stage design companion, purpose-built for design exploration by delivering live rendered feedback to design choices. Any geometry or material changes that are made in CAD/BIM tool are automatically reflected in the Lumion View window.

Snaptrude has built an Excel-like interface directly into its BIM authoring software, to make architectural programming simpler and allow architects to quickly generate data-backed design concepts with views, renders, and drawings. With the new ‘Program’ mode every row, formula, and update is synced live with the 3D model, and vice versa.
