Where can I get the Enscape preview?

Also, I think the newest assets placeholder meshes are too detailed for Revit. The family sizes for the people are up to 2.5mb. That's going to weigh the file down too much. Performance in Revit models is key because it effects every part of the project.

I would propose to aim to keep the Revit families under 1mb.

Also Pieter , please make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date. If that doesn't help with the performance or loading issues, please be so very kind as to send in feedback as well.

updated the driver, seems to work fine, will do some more testing

it finally launched but it's so slow i can't even navigate

same issue here using Revit 2019

The more detailed meshes for the people are nice (it helps with placement) but they slow things down too much in coarse mode. Would it be possible to set it up like this

- coarse mode: this a box

- medium &fine mode: show the more detailed mesh

See picture in attachment. When we have a lot of assets Revit is not going to like all those meshes. So replacing them with simple boxes on coarse mode is going to help a lot.

would it be possible to also offer the plants without pots? We want to put them in custom planters/gardens and don't need the pots (and the extra polygons that come with them).

The thing is different offices will want to use different categories for the items.

I'd like the fact that Enscape assets are on the planting category because they can scale. We need to scale persons and plants all the time, and even for props that might be very helpful (scaling props like vases etc).

It all depends on how you've set up your standards and workflows.

For custom assets, it's going to be helpful to be able to determine the category.

We have experienced some performance hits with the latest builds as well (since 8k texture support was added).

Looking forward to test (2) when it comes out. If 2 works fine, there will be no need for (1) I think

If you do this, please also make it also available for Revit. So not exclusive to only applications that have a dedicated Enscape material editor.

+1

Also, sometimes we have a scene that has no natural light, and we also have no time to add artificial lights.

We still like to render it on ultra quality (using auto exposure) to have better shadow definition, reflection etc, but the color bleed gets really bad in a scenario like that.

Use the matid pass and adjust in post?

We're often presenting realtime so can't do post.

That's going to be helpful!

Thanks for checking this Thomas! Unfortunately our scene is exclusively lit with daylight.

We will check again, maybe there is something going wrong on our implementation.

hey Thomas,

Any news on this? It's killing us.

We'd also appreciate a way to reduce color bleeding.

+1 from me on altering asset materials/colors

Sometimes we like a plant but it's just too green/saturated etc

Any news from the Enscape team as to priorities on assets going forward? The trello hasn't been updated in a while so I'm curious to the roadmap for the next cycle(s).

@Demian

We only have one person who's seeing this issue (he's the only one with multiple gpu's). He only has one monitor. He's very hesitant to disable GPU's as he's afraid it might 'mess up his settings'.

Is there any other way we could help you troubleshoot this issue without disabling gpu's? We'd be happy to install that 'special release' if it would help you troubleshoot.
