We’ve seen mass improvements in the quality of video games - and it’s happening in real time." So Enscape is a way of combining the qualities of one industry with another: "Essentially collaborating to get the best of both worlds," he continued.įully functioning in the March release, the Enscape beta plug-in will eventually incorporate an asset tool and material library - features that will use simplified, proxy objects in Vectorworks to improve performance in the model but retain the high-quality images in Enscape. "This is related," as Martyn Horne, director of digital practice strategy at Vectorworks, told me, "to the 'gamification' of some technologies. The demand and expectation for high-quality, real-time images is influenced by video games and what they’ve come to expect. Most interesting is the standalone executable that enables a client, for instance, to virtually walk through the house being designed for them using a simplified copy of Enscape that gets installed on their machine. The animated and immersive options, which can be seen in the short film below, enable clients and consultants to experience architectural models in different ways. "We like Enscape because it has high-quality rendering," Donley said, "but also very useful output options for users: panoramas, movies, standalone executables, and VR." The rendering quality is visible in the image at the top and the one above, both highly realistic in terms of lighting, materials, and backgrounds. The plug-in is also versatile in terms of output. Dave Donley, director of product technology at Vectorworks, described the plug-in to me as "a game-changer in speeding up design decisions and presentations."
The plug-in allows users to see changes to their BIM and CAD models in Vectorworks as high-quality images in Enscape - instantly. Vectorworks partnered with Enscape on a free, integrated beta plug-in for Windows users to meet the demand for real-time rendering capabilities. But those images take time, meaning that design iterations dependent upon high-quality visualizations needed a back-and-forth between modeling and rendering, resulting in a drop in productivity. For many years MAXON's Cinema 4D has been built into Vectorworks, giving users the ability to output photo-realistic renderings and high-quality animations.
