All of the work you see in this review was executed on an M1-chip-based Mac mini with 16GB of integrated memory on the Apple-designed ARM architecture SOC (system on a chip). When we were asked to review Enscape, the German software company asked us to focus on the Mac version and specifically test it on Apple Silicon. However, Enscape’s cloud and skies look quite good in the standalone render apps.

The grass is “blade-less” and just a green color. Plants and trees and the lighting look great, but procedural textures like grass and water are not truly supported, so these items get flatter. The rendering quality in the web browser-based view in the web standalone is different than Enscape itself. This gives them the ability to explore a design. Image 19 - Enscape can create standalone renderings pushed to the cloud where clients, for example, can investigate 360-degree panos or just visual stills like this one.Ī nice thing to do for your clients is to share a web standalone of a series of pano renders. Then there are Effects, including motion blur, lens flare, bloom vignette, and chromatic aberration. Enscape also supports Corrections controls like color temperature, saturation, and contrasts. And you can edit illumination settings for the sun, night sky, artificial light, ambient brightness, and shadow sharpness. This is why I think the preset options for backgrounds should be increased to cover more possible terrain conditions.Įnscape has some sophisticated clouds and sky technology. That task and file type is a more advanced topic more applicable to specialists than the typical architect Enscape is targeting. However, you can load a custom HDR image under the Sky tab in Visual Settings to place your rendering exactly into its physical context if you have such an image already made. I would like to see more options for backgrounds (doubling would be quite nice), and there is nothing for a beachfront project site or a harbor location site, for example.

Options include Mountains (which I used), Desert, Forest, Urban, and several others. To add backgrounds to the scene, go to the Sky tab in the Visual Settings. Users may want to control the camera projection and force it into Two-Point perspective mode while working. Image 17 - Image settings give the user some post-render settings controls.
