I'm curious if there'll be TouchBar support for macOS?

Looks great and promising!
I'm not convinced, though by those zombie looking people, actually spoiling a little the reality of space.

We've invested in LumenRT over the last few years. However, since the takeover of eon software by Bentley, it seems that LumenRt has been targeted squarely at infrastructure engineering. As such, the developments shown by Twinmotion look far more promising for ArchiCAD users. Furthermore, Bentley have stopped developing for the Mac platform - citing insufficient graphics performance.

Its aggravating to deduce that we have invested time & money in the wrong product. But unless there is a dramatic improvement in LumenRT by the time Twinmotion 2018 is released, it looks like we will be jumping ship...

You cannot blame Abvent for not focusing on ARCHICAD and on the Mac (unless they acquire a Windows-only software product). Bentley doesn't have a history of supporting macOS, that is true.

No criticism intended against Abvent - quite the opposite - Twinmotion 2018 looks very, very promising: This its why we will take a good, long look at it.

We are simply disappointed with the direction taken by Bentley with the software they acquired when they purchased eon (Vue, Plant Factory, LumenRt line of products)...I hope the situation with Bentley improves now that Apple have announced high performance Macs coming at the end of the year, together with the improved iMacs, but I cannot say that I am optimistic - especially in the context of the very poor communication/support we have received from Bentley so far.
