Enscape

Rendering makes easy

Commentaires : Rendering is fast so that we deliver output to clients on time

Avantages :

High-quality video walk-throughs. Collaboration with the team. Asset Library is very useful. Time-based renderings

Inconvénients :

Moving assets are not available in walk-throughs. Some assets do not look realistic

Fast and Quality GPU Renderings right inside Sketchup

Commentaires : Enscape creates awesome looking results in very little time, GPU rendering and Ray tracing are the future and this engine leverages this. There are a couple things I would improve (see Above) but they are doing things that almost no one has been able to do in terms of SketchUp Integration.

Avantages :

First, the all-around awesome integration with SketchUp is the best thing of this software. There is a scenes, material and all settings work together seamlessly. Also, geometry doesn't take too much time to generate, so reviewing your scene in real-time while making changes is possible. Ray Tracing Brings another layer of realism to Enscape, and accurate reflections. The Asset Library is also very complete, and soon will have the option to edit materials. Tethered VR Support

Inconvénients :

I have a couple of points that I did not like. Stitching when creating VR 360 Renderings, currently they come out with Artifacts. Not sure if this will be fixed soon. No way to do Batch 360 Renderings or Animations. It is VERY hard to calculate exposure in 360 images. It depends on where you are looking at when the 360 Render starts. So It can be different every time. Creating Overexposed or underexposed images. WebVR is very laggy and does not look as good as the offline renderings/ tethered experience you can generate with Enscape, light baking integration would solve this. Textures cannot read Relative Paths, so they get broken a lot.

Decent software, terrible customer support

Commentaires : The only experience that I had laws with Customer support. they were not very helpful. still disputing a charge and waiting for a response.

Avantages :

Easy to use and implement. The pricing used to be better.

Inconvénients :

Customer service. When I tried to renew my license, I did not get good communication with the sales team. They ended up charging my credit card double the amount. Spent hours on the phone trying to recover this and I still don’t have a solution.

Enscape Long Time usage review/

Commentaires : Overall I am satisfied with Enscape and its a great choice for someone who is freelancing and doesn't want to spend a lot of money on software. It also is great for offices who want to keep things simple with straightforward workflow and need results fast.

Avantages :

Pros of Enscape - - Easy to use, and straightforward workflow- Cheap as compared to similar software such as Lumion which is three times the price of Enscape- Compatibility with popular architecture software- Features such as high FPS walk-through and can be used with VR

Inconvénients :

Cons-- The library of assets seems a little small with the competition- The quality is pretty good but dedicated rendering software will provide better results- Moving assets are not available such as moving vehicles or people, so that they can go a certain path

Alternatives envisagées : Lumion

Pourquoi choisir Enscape : I used to use V ray for Sketchup before switching to Enscape. I switched mainly because V-ray took a lot of time to setup and it as a guy who was getting into 3d rendering all those settings got me confused and was not able to get desired results. But Enscape was straightforward and gave good results in very less time.

Pourquoi passer à Enscape : Enscape was cheaper but still gave comparable results.

Faster work flow and happier clients!

Commentaires : In general, Enscape has made rendering infinitely easier than it was previously. We use to live in a world where we were unable to show all clients 3D images due to scale and duration of projects. After implementing Enscape into our daily work flow there is no reason we cant walk through the entirety of the building with every client. This has shown us huge improvements in client engagement and satisfaction. Working on education projects, Enscape has allowed us to quickly produce images and video to create an overwhelming sense of excitement among school students and staff!

Avantages :

Enscape has sped up our working process by hours and hours. Renderings that normally were taking significant periods of time in the cloud are now complete in a matter of seconds. This allows us to spend significantly more time on design simply due to the fact that we are not hindered by technology. Additionally, the quick production of life like images allows the team to take a look at design options and quickly critique and select design direction. The ability to work with this speed has allowed our firm to create higher quality design projects across the board.

Inconvénients :

While Enscape allows renderings to be produced very quickly, I often find myself frustrated by forgetting to pause the live updates. This in turn slows my work flow. Perhaps if the updates were paused as the default with an option to sync after you have been able to make a series of changes!
