In the meantime (beside the fixes), we also added the section plane and a solution for fast grass rendering. We are making good progress in fixing the bugs you reported to us. Anyway, it's great to read about all your ideas and opinions! The amount of excitement is a lot more than we initially thought - of course looking back, an invite-only alpha would have been more appropriate. The idea behind offering an alpha version was to gather initial feedback from a few people - if it would not be an incomplete alpha, we would have released it. We are currently several weeks from a real Enscape for SketchUp release. I feel honored to read about your interest in our tool! I never mentioned anything regarding to the VR tools, I do not have a head-set so I could not test this.

The animation would certainly be a lot better with a keyframe-based system, too limited currently.Īs the product is right now I would still recommend Lumion as your exterior animation software and when Enscape offers a material editor and lighting then Enscape becomes the go to interior animation software. I cannot see this being a breakthrough product for SU unless it overcomes SU Achilles heel of being poly challenged, so vast scenes with vegetation will never happen unless there is some sort of Enscape supplied vegetation optimized for their product similar to what LumenRT has, or it integrates with Skatter in some wayĪnimation, nothing here animates, so I'm not saying it needs a library of animated people but do think they need to support animator. No real dedicated beta team, no bug tracking.
#ENSCAPE TRAIL FULL#
Revit seems to be the primary product and Sketchup a byproduct that does not get their full attention even though SU users outnumber Revit users a thousand fold. Support seems lacking even on their own forums it seems only one moderator turns up once in awhile, almost as if the dev team all have day jobs and this is a hobby. Pricing seems good based on what I hope the final product will be, currently not as it's not even close to a market-ready product, even though I am no fan of software for rent.

Something not right with the AA in animation regardless how fine or high you export. materials that are grouped and exploded go strangely small, one needs to close SU and reopen for them to go back to original size, water cannot be resized. Nothing is animated, I thought at least water or sky would be. When you are rendering animation you cannot move around your SU model. Skybox fail, HDRi's do not work here very well and when they do they are fuzzy No lighting at all, no spots, emitters or onmi lights Non-existing material editor besides a basic name based preset Installation issues and updates seem to break causing more installation issues. This program is incomplete and seems a while until it's ready for release

Very nice clean images and animations can be achieved. Fun, this really is a fun program, I literally got so involved that I lost an entire day without noticing.
#ENSCAPE TRAIL 1080P#
Rendering animations are based on what resolution you want, 4K is slow but 1080p is pretty fast at high settings. Sky and atmosphere, very smooth and highly controllable Depth of field, I really liked the ease of use and the way it animates. The control over shadows, direction of sun, the ability to animate sun movements

The integration and workflow within SU, live updates and very smooth flow, not sure if it's based on my Titan card but it was really smooth on my side. Interior GI, by far the best I have seen from any animation software linked to Sketchup Okay, I believe I have had enough time to give my evaluation of Enscape as it is currently.
