Inverted Cutout

dfersh · May 25th 2021

It appears that Enscape is inverting my material cutout property. When viewing in a native Revit realistic view or in the material editor, the material cuts correctly, but when I render to Enscape the cutout is inverted. My workaround is to invert the cutout so that it looks correct in Enscape (but incorrect in Revit). Ideally these would be coordinated - any advice would be appreciated.

Can you post the .png here?

~~dfersh , this is the expected behavior at the moment due to technical reasons - I hope that meanwhile, this won't influence your workflow in a negative way too much.~~

See below what Clemens added!

Demian Gutberlet - thanks for the response. It is a bit of a pain, so I hope we can get a resolution soon. We do work with multiple visualization tools so I have to make the entire team aware that if they are using Enscape for rendering or VR, they must first open up this particular linked Revit model and edit the material appearance - this is not practical for most.

Adam.Fairclough - PNG attached here if you want to take a look.

dfersh you're using a png with transparency. By default Enscape is using the transparency channel for the mask texture - this allows you to work with combined albedo and mask textures. If you remove the transparent channel it should behave the exact same way as Revit.

Clemens Musterle - Fantastic, thank you! This has resolved my issue.
