With its virtual reality features, Twinmotion allows you to walk around the project and check it from different angles, it also has a lot of smart assets that can be added which add life to the project like rain sound, vehicles sound, wind, photo scanned humans, motion-captured animations and you can also add a skyline as background for the urban rendering or city rendering projects.

The software has a great library full of assets, like interior and external furniture, vegetation, people, animals…etc., it also has a physically based sky and sun model, these two options were added recently to the software, it also has a new feature for the volumetric light tool, and screen space global illumination. Twinmotion is made for rendering purposes only, and it is compatible with multiple modeling software in the market like Revit, Sketch-up, Archicad, and Rhino which means that Twinmotion and the modeling software are synchronized together and any modification on the model will appear directly on Twinmotion. This plugin is also equipped with tools and parameters, which can be controlled to generate more realistic renders, like global illumination, caustics, atmosphere, Z depth, and so on. There are a lot of parameters relative to the materials, it is possible to change the color of the material, the reflection, the refraction, the opacity of the material, and the dump mapping. It is also possible to change materials and apply different settings in Vray.

Vray is also coming with multiple types of lighting settings because the lighting is an important part of the rendering process, most used lighting objects in Vray are the sun, rectangle light, SPOT light, and IES light, it is also possible to change the color of the light, the intensity, the size, and the result of these changes also relate to the surfaces and textures in the project. You can find any different materials for walls, wood, glass, fabric, paint, metals, and so on. It doesn’t also contain a library with objects like Twinmotion does, but it has a large variety of textures and materials that can be used to realize realistic renders.

Vray is not a modeling software since it is usually integrated with a 3D modeling package for 3d modeling.
