Visualization from Enscape just keeps getting better. The latest version of the fast, simple real-time visualization plugin, Enscape 3.4, is more powerful and user-friendly than ever. With intuitive new feature updates, the most recent release empowers architects and designers to easily refine their visualizations and streamline their workflow.

As design professionals already know, the tool works seamlessly with modeling software such as Revit, Rhino, Archicad, SketchUp, and Vectorworks. Enscape has gained popularity by allowing architects to quickly test ideas, walk clients through rendered 3D projects, and implement feedback. Aiming to meet the needs of today’s design professionals, Enscape 3.4 helps designers save time, win work, and keep clients happy.

The new release includes essential feature updates for architects and designers. Enscape 3.4 enables users to create their own categories for the Custom Asset Library, save sun positions in views and easily update them, take advantage of improved reflections, and enrich design scenes with new interior assets and materials.

Let’s take a closer look at the must-have features in Enscape 3.4, and the significance for today’s busy design professionals.

Categories for Custom Asset Library

Have you ever found yourself searching for a certain asset? Then you’ll love the brand-new categories feature in Enscape 3.4. Organize and group your imported custom assets as you like for easier management. Instantly find what you need by filtering assets. Your visualizations will come together that much quicker.

Save sun positions and update views

This is a big time-saver: users can save sun positions for accurate and consistent lighting effects. New slider controls and input fields let architects and designers create stunning 3D views — and quickly add the final touches to natural light.

Need a slightly different view angle or distance? No need to start all over and create a new view. Enscape 3.4 lets you update views to capture the optimal angle for final presentations. Easily adjust views until you, your team, and your client are satisfied. Now you can focus on the important things, like perfecting your design and presentation.

Improved reflections

Give your visualizations an extra edge with Enscape’s improved reflections. Reflective surfaces like windows and interior mirrors are a notorious challenge with some visualization tools, but they’re worth getting right. Enscape 3.4 offers greatly improved reflections with more complexity and detail. This crucial refinement helps viewers place themselves in a scene, and helps architects and designers show their spaces in a flattering, realistic light.

Interior design assets & materials

This much-improved interior asset and material collection in the Enscape libraries promises to save time and streamline client approvals. Now you can evaluate FF&E options without hunting for materials online. With more than 210 new assets and over 52 additional materials, Enscape 3.4 offers to liven up your projects and increase the realism of your visualizations. Designers can select from a range of assets such as home fixtures, appliances, and accessories plus materials like wallpapers, woods, and tiles. 

Impress your clients

Clients expect today’s design teams to deliver accurate, alluring visualizations — no matter the time or place, like on-demand in a meeting. Throughout the design process, Enscape 3.4 gives you the power to create stunning 3D views and animations, and to quickly update them and get real-time feedback. Why risk losing your client to a competitor because you don’t have best-in-market rendering capabilities? With Enscape 3.4, you can earn your client’s trust and develop your design with confidence to truly impress.

Is Enscape 3.4 worth the investment?

It’s no secret that 3D visualization technology is at the heart of architecture today. Designers rely on fast and accurate rendering tools to communicate with clients — and with each other. But you need a tool that keeps up with you.

That’s why Enscape not only offers multiple subscription models that fit your business needs, but also provides free upgrades to the latest version.
