Hey 777kme , we did actually change the appearance of shadows. The sharpness in this case now depends more on the scene at hand. We have an existing feature request on our agenda to allow you to change the sharpness yourself, I've given the topic a further upvote through your voice. If there is anything else you want to add to it, please kindly let me know.

Add me too on this feature who would like to control the shadow sharpness, or at least be the same as it was in v2.3.

Here is a comparison of between 2 versions - no post render edits:
Same scene, time and settings - both sketchup and enscape..

Thanks!

Well, couple of the views that was quickly done when we got Enscape. Here are portions of an outdoor learning space.

When I first used Enscape and amazed by the rendering speed

I love Enscape, it's so fast and such a joy to use, but, and there is only one but, I hate having to save all models as a preset and hunting for them when I open the model and Enscape again, is there any way to save all my settings with the Sketchup model?

I was amazed, too with Enscape speed! I would like to see this feature of able to save the settings with the file so I won't keep scratching my head due to my poor memory... If you're switching from project to project, you sometimes just want to render then send. It's hard to keep track of ( well, for me) just even a few switches or save settings each job.

I remember using a Accurender during the older days of AutoCAD.. The trees / shrubs are placed kinda different each time - you just keep on clicking and placing trees and not getting a 'row of soldier' look. It will look like wiremesh / proxy objects 'til you render. The parametric editor even gives you the seasons option - reduce leaves, or no leaves at all. This was a great addon for landscape people before, I guess.

So, I will just add this to the wish list: a parametric tree editor built in the asset library.

All the shrubs, bushes and flowers are just boxes; only the trees and people get the full 'low poly' treatment (currently)

Oh, OK. Thanks for the info. I admit they looked way nicer but It's just a bit hard sometimes to place those objects when you can't see even the basic shape of it.

Xel And was the sun shadow of 2.3.3 softer also? I like the softer shadow.

I noticed it too but I'm more concerned about not to be able to render the grass and the clouds like before, so I'm switching back to 2.3.3 for the time being.

I'm not sure why some of the objects from the asset library appeared to be boxes when placed in Sketchup model, but looked fine in the live view...

Same issue with Sketchup. The grass in v2.4 doesn't seem to show up like the way to that of 2.3.3 even I already maxed up the grass height. Also, the cloud groupings look nicer in 2.3.3 than the 2.4 given the same amount and settings. I'll send a feedback regarding this, too.
