I hope Enscape product development is not merely driven by "demand". If Steve Jobs had the same way of thinking, we wouldn't have the iPhone.
Most statements that begin with "But Steve Jobs/Elon Musk/Bill Gates said, ..." do not work in general, because they are cherry picked exceptions. Since exceptions are outliers to a rule, we mostly stick to the rule "implement what people want". If we see great opportunity along the way, we evaluate that too for sure. 
The transparent surface rendering is limited to a certain number of layers. If you make the glass one-layer only, it will be solved. Anyway, we will rework the transparent surface rendering in the future and also ensure proper refraction.
If you set it to normal glass with no opacity and an average specularity, it should look like this. Please share your material parameters for the glass sphere so that we can advise.
But isnt that a SketchUp functionality rather than an Enscape feature? At least there seem to be other people that have the same challenge:
So the result would be an archive file with all the required SKP files in it, properly linked to each other?
Alright, so we'll do the following:
For v2.8, the RPC support for Revit will stay as it is.
We will try to improve the experience and compatibility starting with 2.9 but will take care that it won't be compatibility breaking.
Collaborations drive the best outcomes
Sometimes yes, but in this constellation it wasn't the case. We had numerous technical difficulties in the past with the RPC software. And when we were confronted with the decision by ArchVision if we implement the newest RPC software or have to remove the existing implementation, we decided that we want to invest the time in making the Enscape asset library better rather than supporting third party asset libraries.
The Enscape asset library has 1950 (vs 2500 @ RPC) assets with v2.8 and we are continuously adding more with no additional cost for all of you. We will also improve certain other shortcomings like custom asset imports, variations or better looking proxies in the floor plans in the upcoming versions.
The clouds have a rather subtle animation even when the time of day is static. But other than that, the only way to animate it is to animate the time of day. The animation of other visual parameters like the clouds offset etc might be added in upcoming releases.
similar to Enscape's GI implementation
On RTX cards, Enscape uses the hardware raytracing capabilities. We're therefore happy to see further improvements on upcoming hardware ray tracing implementations.
Any idea how Enscape3D could benefit from this tech?
It wouldn't improve any of Enscape's shortcomings.
One thing that seems to work fairly well is to increase the clouds density so the sky lighting is more diffuse. The main issue is then the sky is cloudy in the background. Here's a request for developers - can you have a sky that's cloudy in only one region of the sky (so you can have clouds behind you, but see blue sky in front of you.)
Tuning down sun intensity while having a low cloud density has the exact effect that you describe.
pristol There is little "magic" going on in Enscape here, that we could tweak in order to reach your result. Given the intensity of the sun, HDRI environment and materials the lighting that's being calculated is physically defined and will look quite the same across most raytracers (approximation inaccuracies aside). Therefore, the only meaningful options you and we have is to tune the skybox and sun intensity in order to match the look you desire.
You should better keep these settings at the default and increase the camera exposure.
Here's something else new and exciting - Minecraft RTX!
On Ultra settings, Enscape already offers multi bounce for the indirect lighting. The Minecraft RTX thing is impressive but let me tell you that having a world that consists only of boxes makes it a bit easier
Thanks for the comparison, EGIE, we will check what we can do.
You can "fix" this by increasing the sun brightness. Auto exposure will then make the shadows look darker in turn. The sun brightness depends on various things, so it's possible that different renderers have slightly different sun intensities.
The sun brightness slider doesn't seem to make much difference since it appears to bring down the sky brightness proportionally.
This should not be the case, especially not with a loaded HDRI skybox.
Enscape supports the Two-Point Perspective if you select it in the Enscape perspective mode. But you talk about that we take the perspective information from the SketchUp view, right?
If you assign a cutout mask to your concrete and elevate it a few cm, you will get much better results! But anyway: Thanks for the request, we will consider this among other things for improved grass.
The wooden thing between the steel bars and the outside grass might be too high poly. Either reduce the polycount or try to add a low poly shell in it.
We will also try to reduce this kind of light bleeding behavior. This is a non-ArchiCAD specific problem.
We're working on reducing the noise for upcoming Enscape versions! 
Thanks for sharing this beautiful image.
Can you confirm that this occurs on the newest version, too?
