I’m now knocking these out regularly, each one is a minimum of 12 pano’s with at least one being 50ish, during the development im guessing that I probably render all the projects panos at least 3x.

Batch rendering panos would be a colossal boon.
2020.2 has been out for over a month, for me its working fine with Enscape.
They should have been removed from the library BUT remain on the server. That way projects that use them would continue to function but nobody would be able to place new instances.
Maybe its a 'lake house in a snowstorm' in which case its fantastically realistic, probably the best render of a whiteout I've ever seen

What I find amusing is that on the 3DVista usergroup they keep asking "What camera did I use to photo the house?" I'll take it as a complement but compared to a lot of the stuff posted here I think my interiors are amatur hour.
If the files are in .max format then you'll need a full copy of 3DStudio Max to open them, Autodesk prevent any other app/converter from opening them. If you have max then you could export the parts as .fbx and run them through Transmutr to compress/convert them to SketchUp files.
As 90% of what I do is for print, by default I render at 4000x3000px png and then convert the png's to jpg's after. I use a script to convert but any image app (Photoshop, Affinity Photo etc) will do the same.
The reason I render to png 1st is because they're lossless, I can then control the jpg compression (if there is any) after. I leave converting the profile (cmyk) to my colegues as they know which one they'll be using for any given project.
Any news on this, my boss keeps hoving over my sholder picking Enscape trinkits and its playing havock with my sneaky youtube viewing
I've written an AutoHotKey (AHK) script to process my rendered images, here what it does:
My AHK script:
AHK is easy enough to undertand if you've done any coding/scripting but its no 'walk in the park'.
I'm willing to share my script BUT ... I WONT BE RESONSIBLE IF YOU USE IT AND IT SCREWS WITH YOUR FILES. Its a simple text file and not encripted so you can read each line and make adjustments to suit your needs (you'll have to anyway to make it work with your filing system)
I've attached a screenshot of its dialog and a bit of the code, if the code looks in any way scary then THIS ISNT FOR YOU
My process:
Set my exposure to a fixed value, this prevents Enscape recalculating the exposure for each of the 16 views it takes (This may not be needed anymore)
Render as mono panos
Save them as jpgs to my comp
In 3DVista:
Add Media>Import Panorama (see screenshot)
Then select Standard Panorama (see screenshot)
You'll then be able to pick one or many Panos to import.
I havent tried stereo pano yet as I have no need for them but that 2nd dialog is where you'd specify that thats what your importing.
For those of you asking about a MacOS version ..... Does Enscape run on MacOS or iOS?
Normally my models are quite small as I (boastfully) pride myself on efficent modeling but .... now we're doing more and more realistic interiors my file sizes have gone through the roof, I cant even get away with furnishing just a corner of a room for a still as all my interiors are for 360 pano tours.
1 nice realistic sofa can be 3x the size of a whole house ...aggghh
Materials wise I think I have got a few that are over size (probably more than a few), I'll have a play, thanks.
Thanks, I got round my problems by cutting the model into 2 and doing selective renderings in each, this is only a stopgap solution as now I know I can run out of memory I’m sure I’ll do it again.
I’ll wait on the 3000 series as you say and see what they offer.
We’re using 3DVista to make the tours, it’s simple but quite powerful, I’m only scratching the surface at the mo.
My next tour should be much better, it’s a 13 house development with 2 of them fully fitted out, I’m guessing it’ll be about 50ish panos in the end.
ahh, ok. I didn’t pick up on the ‘VR’ in your original post, sorry about that.
I’ve never seen that and I’m now doing a lot of pano’s like so https://www.halfpenny.blockcpm.studio/tour/
Other than accidentally clicking the stereo pano button I’ve only done the std mono ones, do you get the same results with a mono pano?
it would also double as a sales asset, potential users would be able to see what’s available too.
My boss want to be able to browse the assets to select the ones he want me to use. The only way to currently view them (as far as I know) is through the app.
Wouldn’t a page of all the thumbnails on the Enscape site be useful? And theoretically easy to do as the thumbnails already exist.
To be clear, I’m not asking for access to the library itself, just the thumbnails.
Hi all,
I'm currently rocking a RTX2070 8gb but my models are becoming increasingly complex and today I think I tipped over the graphics card capabilities.
I do everything I can to minimise my models weight; anything I download I VERY carefully reprocess to remove any unnecessary geometry/materials etc before I use it but now that I'm doing a lot of interiors the complexity/model size have gone through the roof.
I 'think' its the 8Gb on the 2070 that I'm running into so what I'm asking is "what Nvidia card would be better?" I know we can get 12Gb in the GeForce series but what about the Quadros? I've normally dismissed them as being unnecessary for SketchUp/Enscape but maybe I wrong, maybe a Quadro is what I need .... Maybe its not
Thoughts?

Thank you! I hate doing interiors as I have absolutly no eye for interior design so for you to say 'taken with a real camera' really gives me confidence.
