Revit 2019 support

Revit 2019 came out today.

It has support for "physical based appearance assets". I wonder whether Enscape is planning to support this type of material? Seems like this is going to be the Revit standard going forward.

fyi: a few screenshots of the new material appearance system in attachment. There seem to be 3 different shaders:

• Physical based Opaque
• Physical based Transparent
• Physical based Metal

At first glance they seem to align more with the Enscape material system, although Enscape only has one setting for reflectivity (roughness) and Revit still offers two (reflectance + roughness). The method with having two options still makes more sense to me (some reflections are faint but sharp).

Another interesting thing: the "relief pattern" supports both "height maps" and "normal maps".

I tried using the new physical based assets but they are rendering white in Enscape.

Great new Thomas!

Any insights on whether you might consider this as a good opportunity to decouple glossiness (roughness) from reflectivity? So we can have faint but sharp reflections?

Hey Thomas,

Quick question: I assume that the sketchup material editor is the best 1 to 1 match with how Enscape handles materials.

In the reflection section, I see a slider for "roughness", "metallic" and "specular".

1) I don't see a slider for "reflectance" like the new Revit PBR materials have. To what are you going to map this parameter?

2) Is there some documentation on what each (sketchup) material parameter does so we can gain a better understanding of how Enscape interprets material values?

Kind of confused by the whole PBR thing. Every engine seams to claim to be PBR, yet they all have slightly different parameters

Or let me try to answer my own question:

1) reflectance in revit = specular in enscape?

Don't know about the reinstall but you don't have to reset the license.

Enscape just added support for the new PBR material shaders in Revit 2019

Any chance you are using the new material class 'transparent' for this material? The new enscape water only works with the old material class 'water'
