Laubwerk support?

Just wanting to share our roadmap with you, so that no one has the wrong ideas.

Right now we are shipping a few assets (people + vegetation) with every installation, but they are only used in the Revit plugin when you place ArchVision RPCs and they are replaced by our assets.

In a first step we want to provide you with the means to place these assets in a controlled manner. Originally we wanted to start with Revit only, but seeing how easy it is we implemented it for SketchUp and Rhino, too. We already started working on supporting ArchiCAD, but are facing technical challenges right now. Of course we'll try our best to make it happen, but it's too early to make promises.

From there on there will be several paths to follow, nothing final has been decided about them:

• Some of you have 3rd party assets that you want to use with Enscape. We can provide you with the means to import your own models into our system.
• We can expand our asset library. This probably comes with some kind of web download because we don't want the installer size to explode.
• We can allow you to share assets using some kind of web platform. But this needs a huge effort and comes with it's own set of challenges.

We're starting with the first step in the next release. Everything else depends on too many factors. One of these factors is the feedback and requests we receive from you.

The very same concept of proxy implementation, and full vegetation rendering. there must be a simple way to use it, as Vray and TheaRender do it, Laubwerk is an enormous library of actual, real vegetation... Enscape could profit by starting using it...

I wrote to Laubwerk, explaining the situation. They responded, by thanking me for such observation of "rapidly growing Enscape.3D community"...

Sounds good...The more assets the better. I'm not a Skp user, but use Enscape with SKP and If can just download people and trees and entourage, that would save me a lot of time searching for stuff on 3d warehouse.

Hello there lovely Enscape community,

Any chance of Enscape teaming up with the Laubwerk crowd for plant models?

They are on the Sketchup extension Warehouse and currently support Vray for Sketchup and Thea.

Just putting the idea forward from a landscape designers point of view and needs

Cheers,

Laubwerk i s great tool for architects, too. I already supported (posted?) this question once, and I do it again... Laubwerk is a "little heavy" for other renderers... but I believe it would NOT be for Enscape...

Enscape's support for Laubwerk is necessary, as well as providing a way to easily create three-dimensional grasslands

+1 for Laubwerk support. I had reached out to the developers of laubwerk at some point last month to see if they had plans to support enscape. And I am paraphrasing here but they said they were certainly interested in supporting it, however, they did not have any thing to announce yet. I am hoping Enscape and Laubwerk get together and make it happen soon.

+1 for Laubwerk!!! Enscape has largely replaced Vray in my design workflow....and I'm really missing Laubwerk these days.

(message to Laubwerk: I definitely don't plan on buying any more kits until Enscape is supported.)

Thank you for all the further feedback. Your votes will be added to the corresponding topic of course!

Trees and plants are always welcome , even cars as long as they get updated but people can get dated quickly and become a cliche as you begin to see the same people in every rendering.

...any news and expectations about "Laubwerk + Enscape3D" collaboration success?

I would contact them directly. I don't know if this is on their radar at all these days.

No news at the moment, but your voices are being heard and the feedback is being taken into account.

+1 This would be awesome.

Forwarded, thanks!

Yes please:) +1

Sure thank you!

Yes please, we are a themed entertainment company that utilizes landscaping in all of our designs and laubwerk has the most extensive set of vegetation, but VRay is just not as intuitive to use. Love the asset library, but its still early on in development, even having some of the features like switching tree types from full grown to young, or different variations, etc would be lovely.

Love Enscape, keep it up!
