Enscape 4.12.0 Version Released

Оглавление

Enscape 4.12.0 Released! New features include grass self-shadowing, the return of SketchUp external model support, and compatibility with Revit composite visual filters. Compatible with SketchUp/Vectorworks 2026 Beta. Optimized Rhino mirror materials. Fixed multiple bugs.

Новый

  • Improved Grass Shading: Improved shading quality of our existing 3D procedural grass material, which now casts shadows onto itself.
  • Save as External Model for Enscape Returns to SketchUp: The “Save as External Model for Enscape” feature is back in SketchUp. This powerful workflow lets components be saved as lightweight external files (Linked Models), improving project performance by replacing detailed models with wireframe placeholders inside SketchUp. Once loaded in Enscape, the full geometry appears in real-time. After a temporary removal due to bugs, it’s now reintroduced with improved stability.
    Note: live update support for external documents will be introduced in an upcoming release.
  • Virtual Environment Guide Coming Soon: To address growing demand for remote workflows, we’re finalizing a new guide covering how to run Enscape on virtual environments via remote access. While we still only officially support local installations, the document shares internally tested setups and best practices for remote use.
    In parallel, we’ve resolved a known issue where the camera viewpoint jumped unexpectedly when using Windows Remote Desktop with multiple displays. This fix is part of our broader virtual environment improvements. Please try it out and share your feedback.
  • Revit Combined Visual Filter Support: Enscape now reflects Revit’s behavior when multiple visual filters are applied to the same elements. Visual overrides like color and transparency are now combined, just like in Revit.
  • Vectorworks 2026 Beta Support: We’ve added initial support for Vectorworks 2026. Currently evaluating the new version’s features to determine what additional improvements might be useful.
  • SketchUp 2026 Beta Compatibility: Support for the SketchUp 2026 Beta is now available. Full support will follow when Trimble officially releases it.
  • Rhino Mirror Material Consistency: Improved consistency when rendering mirror materials using Rhino’s physically based materials. Enscape now more accurately interprets 0 roughness / 100% metallic values, making mirrors appear correctly without needing to switch to the Enscape material type.

Исправлены ошибки

  • VRScene: Fixed an issue preventing .vrscene files from being saved into folders containing non-ASCII characters.
  • Rhino: Fixed Rhino’s physically based materials not being shown correctly in Enscape when the material’s metallic value was 0.5 or above.
  • SketchUp: Envisions object containing SketchUp’s top-level ungrouped geometry is no longer unnamed when a V-Ray Scene Export is done and the resulting .vrscene file is opened in Envision.
  • SketchUp: Fixed an issue where modifying or removing component instances caused glued entities to not update, leaving holes in the geometry.
  • SketchUp: Fixed an issue where Enscape failed to initialize in SketchUp 2025 when the main window handle was not retrieved.
  • Vectorworks 2025 Update 6: Fixed an issue that caused Enscape to stop syncing after switching to a 2D perspective.

Известные проблемы

  • Enscape crashes in (heavy load) captures: Crash in PathTrace.glsl may occur under high GPU loads when rendering large screenshots (e.g., 4K with artificial lights or 6K without artificial lights).
