Simply push a button on the Revit plug-in and seconds later the model appeared in Enscape. The Enscape application was essentially a real-time window into your BIM model. With very little effort you could go from Revit to Enscape and explore the nicely rendered model on a desktop display and inside VR. We’ve been big fans of the real-time rendering and VR software since the 1.8 release when we tested it out for this ‘Revit to VR’ feature.īack then, the software was incredibly easy to use, and that’s what made it so appealing. Greg Corke explores Enscape 3.0.įor readers of AEC Magazine, Enscape probably needs little introduction. The software is rental-only, with node-locked licences costing $514.80/year and floating licences costing $898.80/year.With usability now driving its development, the popular real time visualisation tool has finally broken free of the BIM plug-in shackles that originally brought it success. The current production release, Enscape 3.4, is available for Archicad 22+, Revit 2019+, Rhino 6.0+, SketchUp 2019+ and Vectorworks 2020+ running on Windows 10+. The initial release is limited to SketchUp users: Enscape plans to add support for other applications in future.Īccording to Enscape, the beta currently has “around 70% feature parity” with the Windows version, lacking support for VR, video rendering, batch rendering and the Enscape asset library.Įnscape for Mac is compatible with macOS 12.2.1+, and is available for SketchUp 2021+ only. New native macOS edition: now available for SketchUp usersĪlthough Enscape can currently be used on Apple hardware via Boot Camp, the new native macOS edition should improve performance on Macs. The software comes with its own time of day, clouds and atmospheric effects settings, and an accompanying library of over 2,500 assets like plants, vehicles and 3D people for populating scenes. The output is ray traced, and can be used for less demanding final-quality rendering, with the option to generate still images, animations, 360-degree panoramas or interactive scenes. The software live links to CAD and architectural design tools including Rhino and SketchUp, enabling users to explore large architectural scenes in real time, either on screen or in virtual reality.
