Twilight manipulates data directly from SketchUp, providing immediate access to lights, layers, scenes, and materials. All of Twilight's data is stored right inside the SketchUp Model file, so you never lose a thing. And sharing a scene with other users is seamless.

Don't let the simplicity fool you. Twilight's materials are cutting edge. With advanced layering and Fresnel Ramp calculations, your materials are as realistic as it gets. Throw in bump mapping, translucency, and the best blurry reflections available, and there is no end to what you can create.
