If there are no artificial lights in the project, this is good for a quick walkthrough. “LOW” should be renamed to draft mode because that is what it is. Lighting calculation starts at medium and will be quite demanding. high instead of Ultra) to get the same result and speed than in an older version. This may make it necessary to go one step left on the performance slider (e.g. I was warned that Enscape 2.0 introduce a higher demand on GPU performance due to better visual quality. Also, you can now Right-click on element to orbit around that element.Hit the M key at any time to activate a mini map:.Along with this, better trees, plants, and other improved RPC replacements have been added. There is also a really nice new Grass material that looks great and is very easy to use. You will likely notice this difference if you open a model you used on previous versions of Enscape and try it with Enscape 2.0. There has been additional thought and development work given to things like indirect lighting, behaviour of reflections, and overall realism.

One of the most significant enhancements in Enscape 2.0 is an improvement to the lighting engine, a feature that results in more Realistic Lighting. The question is: What does Enscape version 2.0 bring to the table? I have posted about Enscape before in this full review, and in this post about Enscape 1.9. And in fact, it really does legitimately enhance the quality of work that you can produce rapidly within your own office. But it is executed so well, that it makes it seem like so much more. Yes, I know that Enscape is essentially an addin, a piece of software that consumes models and renders them in real time. It takes the most basic of ideas and makes them more real, adding depth and light and excitement.

Whenever I use Enscape, I feel this effortless artistry at my fingertips. Happily, Enscape is not one of those technologies. But when it comes to Architecture, some technologies seem to replace warmth and light with cold industrialism. And those things can be interesting in their own right. We live in an age of robotics, drones and automation.
