I believe that, if things go according to plan, we’ll probably just find the one option (Raytracer) in the next full release of Revit.Ĭonsidering the visualization products available today like Revizto, Lumion, Fuzor and Enscape, which all offer a very impressive real time rendering environment as well as integrating well with Revit, I can’t help but wonder if the development team is really in tune with the market. Unfortunately it takes quite some time to plug in and unplug something so intrinsic to how Revit works. rbz file (currently from the Preview / Alpha page).As I understand it they are motivated to go through this in order to provide what they believe will be simpler yet higher quality and faster rendering options because they will have more control over the engine being used it’s theirs, not someone else’s. Here is how you can manually the install Enscape Plugin for Sketchup:ġ) Download the. Here is a video that summarises the updates in 1.9:Ĭheck out this video of the Sketchup plugin in action: Releases for Revit and Sketchup addins are available at: It is seriously impressive to set the time to night, and then boost the stars right up. you can modify the brightness of Sun, Moon and Stars.you can ‘move’ the clouds to really get your scene looking just right.you can set the frames per second on exported video.Essentially, Enscape is working to support every applicable material property from Revit, which is great. For some reason, Enscape started with maximum bloom and extremely warm colour temperature, but after tweaking that a bit it started to look really nice as usual:įurther, more support for Glass and Glazing materials has been added.
As with Revit, you can have the Sketchup window, Enscape window, and Enscape settings all open and ‘live’ at the same time. Which is why Enscape is releasing this Extension, I suppose!Īfter installing the Enscape extension for Sketchup (you can see some tips on how to do this at the end of the post), you will probably want to immediately start tweaking settings. Personally, I hope to see more designers moving into Revit for early concept design with massing or adaptive components or Dynamo, but in the meantime there are plenty of people out there building really nice models in Sketchup. Some architects immediately feel comfortable using Sketchup, where Revit has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Sketchup is still a solid workhorse in a lot of firms, as it is almost too easy to use.
I will cover both of these below…ġ) A quick look at the Enscape Sketchup Extension Enscape is continuing to develop new and amazing ways to quickly visualise and present your Revit model… and now, your Sketchup models too.
