Background Photo Quality

andrewrglover · Jul 6th 2018

Hi All

I am looking for some assistance with quality / compression issues I am having with a background photo for a panorama I am working on.

See attached a screenshot of 2 images. The photo being used as a background is on the left and the result from Enscape is on the right.

To view the background in the Revit scene I have attached the photo to a cylindrical object outside the building.

I would expect some loss in quality due to compression etc but the quality of this result is extremely poor.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi andrewrglover & welcome to our forums!

For background panoramas we've a dedicated setting, which means you don't have to build the background in Revit yourself. Please have a look at this page:

Hope that helps!

Working again - must have fixed it or it was a glitch.

I'm using high res drone panoramas as background. The feature is awesome, but I think the background resolution is a bit limited. I've set it to "high" but still the picture is a bit blurry. Se attached comparison between enscape render and source panorama

Thanks for the response Clemens Musterle - great tool I have now become familiar with which I was unaware of.

Unfortunately the background image is just as poor - if not worse - with the use of a skybox as opposed to a modelled element.

Similar to 3DMake looks like this is what we are working with.

Thanks again

andrewrglover I agree, there is loss of quality when using 360° photos in Enscape for the Skybox background. I am hoping for some sort of solution to this problem.

Yes, this limitation is keeping me from buying this product. I was hoping there was some setting that would fix it. Apparently not.

Same here, Please see below. It seems to be a limit set for the quality of the skybox in Enscape. Is there any reason for this? Would be any fix for this in upcoming updates?
