    :эскиз: Demian Gutberlet I've noticed that the 4 3D models are not displayed in real time.

    Thank you once again, I will check it out and forward this behavior too in no-time!

    Thanks for the further report! As per my last reply, have you also already submitted a feedback report with logs? :) If you haven't done so please make sure - Our technical support team may already be able to offer a solution/workaround. Otherwise we can forward this is an issue to our developers.

    So far render speeds are much improved. Still seem to be slightly slower than 3.4, but well under a minute thankfully. I am seeing crashes on closing out of Enscape and then Sketchup like what was happening a few versions back. (Action: close active Enscape window then exit SU. When I close Sketchup it crashes out instead of exiting the program. Any model changes get lost to the previous save instead of asking if I want to save unsaved changes.) I'll see if I can capture this in a bug report, but not sure if I can.

    Even if you submit a feedback report without actively running into this again we should still receive any log files we require to at least let you know why Enscape crashes on your machine - If you could send one in if you haven't yet, please do so as detailed here.

    I am very excited for the ability to change materials and colors of assets in 3.5.


    Is there a general ETA of version 3.5?

    I cannot give a specific release date yet, but you can expect our full release of Enscape 3.5 in about 2-3 months. Beforehand we'll release further previews as well of course.

    I had version 3.5 preview 9 and I didn't have this error, today I upgraded to version 3.5 preview 11 and now I have the same problem

    Thank you! That has already been filed internally and our developers are working on resolving it.

    Yeah that sounds great. A general timeline like 2-3 months always helps witheveryone's schedule. Thanks!

    I hope that we will have enough opportunity to test the new 'asset override' feature before the new version is released. In the past it happened that a major feature showed up in the last preview release, only to be released a few days after.

    Dear Forum Community,


    We've just released the latest Enscape v3.5 Preview - Version 12.


    NEW:

    Improved Indirect Lighting of Semi-transparent Materials

    Semi-Transparent materials (with an opacity value > 0.0), such as frosted glass did not receive correct global illumination in the past. With Enscape 3.5 the appearance of these materials will be much improved, giving them a more grounded look in their surroundings as they now receive indirect lighting. This improvement can be observed especially in indoor night scenes.


    Before:


    After


    Asset Drag Selection in the Enscape Window

    In the Asset Library mode within the Enscape window, you can now select multiple assets at once. To do this, hold the SHIFT key and drag the mouse.


    Revit – Reproducible Orthographic Views

    Views with an orthographic camera are now fully reproducible. Previously, when entering an orthographic view, the camera would zoom out to show the entire scene. Now, the exact viewport is stored in a crop region in Revit.


    Rhino 7 – Live Updates for Dynamic Changes

    When Live Updates are enabled, changes to the project are reflected directly in Enscape even while editing!



    UPDATE:

    Improved Noise in Mirror Reflections

    The previously (Preview 11) mentioned issue with global illumination quality in mirror reflections has been resolved.


    VR Improvements

    We’ve improved our VR implementation for a smoother head-tracking experience and removed the SteamVR requirement for Oculus (Quest) usage.



    BUGFIXES:

    Certain Assets Don’t Appear in Enscape

    We fixed a problem that caused some assets to not show up in Enscape. However, we are still investigating another problem that also causes a few assets to still not appear in Enscape.


    Please refer to this article for instructions on how to download the Preview version.


    If you wish to get a full overview of what's been added with Enscape 3.5 Preview 11 and full releases prior, check out this release/preview notes gathering thread here.


    Warning: Preview versions are not production-proven, so be aware that there can be issues, and please report any of them back to us either on this thread or via the normal support channels. Doing so will help us with providing an even more stable and reliable product in the future.

    Version 3.5.0-preview.12+97341 has a problem when I put ies, it's not getting according to the lighting cone and it's not getting the configuration.

    Thank you for the report - Which CAD solution(s) are you using with Enscape and can you please share a few screenshots of this behavior? The IES files I've tried to use seem to be working correctly. So, if possible, feel free to also attach some of your IES files too (after putting them in a .zip file for example).
