What 3d mouse do you have? And what driver have you tried?
Space mouse pro. all of them I think. 10-5.15 is the most recent I have found that works (2019 + 2.7 only)
It does not work in 2020 and none of the other drivers seem to allow you to work in both 2020 and enscape simultaneously
Tried all the solutions here including archived 3d Connexion drivers. I think I tried every combination and could not make it work. Works in Skp.. works in enscape then I go back to skp and it doesnt work. So frustrating, as this seems to happen every time. I had the same issue getting into 2.6 and 2019 I think.
Sketchup can handle projects as large as you like with aplomb if you are smart about how is is modeled. Trees and people were the only proxies in these.. Section Enscape overall prior rendering software.
No proxies in this one.. that said I do use their trees and cars quite a bit now. This was designed modeled and rendered pre-Enscape for me. I originally did the renderings in another software. I had a new use for the design a few years later so I tried enscape in it. Attached is the older rendering
.. Not sure on the face count I usually dont worry about it if I stick to a few simple rules. A computer that has a clock speed over about 4.2 Ghz.. no large materials (material resizer extension is great for keeping this under control) and No exteremly high poly count objects (which you do not need in my opinion or if you do you can use a proxy in most rendering programs)
No this is built 100% in Sketchup. Revit is way to slow / cumbersome for Early Design work like this. This was done very early (first week or so) of the design process.
When you apply a photo-matched texture to a surface, the actual image is still rectangular, but SU adds some information to the image/surface that tells it how to deform the rectangle so that it maps properly. (Probably the relative x,y of each corner).
Enscape does not understand all of these transformations and so just does it's best. (Probably Enscape can't access this info through the SU API)
When you "Make Unique", it converts the stretched image to a flat rectangle image of just the right size to fit the surface - Enscape likes this and can show it just like every other texture.
Right and that was what I was trying but when I did that the image dissappeared completely in Enscape.
Ok so that's kinda similar to the work around I did as well. Strange jpegs.

Scene1 that texture.. the one on the side of that building I edited the way described above so that one is not a good test.
I did that and the texture disappeared? surface just went grey?
I fixed it by making a parallel elevation view in skp saving that as a jpeg and re-applying the straight view.. but would be good to know if there is an easier way
agreed with all the positive comments. a really big deal and the enscape teams responsiveness to users requests is a huge reason I am using it. Great job.
have not been able to figure this one out... ? Thoughts anyone. Textures manipulated in Skp to align with geometry
This behavior can in fact be normal if the project is of rather large size. Is there any chance you could briefly share that specific project with us of yours? Please also make sure that you're running our latest version and that you've installed the latest GPU drivers for your card.
I forgot to update my drivers when I updated to the preview version. . Its no longer doing the shadow retreat with the updated drivers. My bad
Is it happening in other scenes? What about just a white plane with a simple box?

I don't think it has anything to do with the preview version. The most likely culprit is that your GPU is underpowered. What I'm seeing there is the exact same thing that tends to happen in non-ray traced, 100% raster based engines such as Lumion or Twinmotion. In order to get rid of that happening in those platforms, you have to do a fair amount of GI tweaking - which isn't really an option with Enscape because you shouldn't have to....
It's my understanding that Enscape - like all ray tracing enabled engines (realtime GPU or offline CPU) - uses a fine balance of classic raster vs ray tracing. This is especially the case with GI/shadows/AO. I don't know precisely how Enscape works, but if your GPU isn't powerful enough than Enscape will probably keep defaulting to raster based output.
Thanks Landrvr1 that could be I am running on an older 1070. I dont remember it happening before however. I guess its time to upgrade.
It might be just that I am on the preview version but when I move around and or make a video my shadows retreat away from me. As if the sun was moving as well. Only its not? https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ul0…0-01-31-16-21-35.mp4?dl=0
So I am getting ortho to work in elevation but not in plan view? Is that not available or am I missing something?
Hi, dvsone1440. Do you mind telling me what kind of hardware are you working with?
My hardware is 1070 32gb of ram. But I am not sure what that has to do with my point? As I was saying, "no crashing here" instead I was responding to the comment about the additional menu. I find multiple tabs in one menu much easier to deal with from a menu to screen real estate point of view. I have all my sketchup menus I need access to (materials scenes layers etc..) + Enscape Materials menu, Asset library menu, Visual menu and now yet another menu with the general settings. I am often going back and forth between these and they just take up too much screen space. I can't control the size of them either. Sketchup allows you to combine them and tab through pages which is essentially how it worked before but now I have yet another menu I have to keep track of. I would prefer to see all the enscape menus combined so you can tab through them. To me adding another menu I have to keep up is the wrong direction.
This would be very helpful. Its time consuming to create this image currently.
I am guessing that would not be easy to implement but would be worthwhile. I do it with two shots and overlaying in P-shop
