Demian Gutberlet Any updates from Enscape's side with V-Ray compatibility?

General Setting>Uncheck NVIDIA DLSS

We have our own "custom assets" that are not through the Enscape editor but proxied to links on our own server. Vray does not read those links, but will only read the Enscape assets. It would take a lot of work to exchange those assets or load the high poly models, which would extremely slow down the model. Maybe this will get fixed post Beta?

Hello everyone,

It was announced on August 25th that V-Ray 6.0 will have Enscape Compatibility. Their website states: https://www.chaos.com/vray/sketchup-rhino/beta

"Introducing the most powerful visualization workflow in the AEC industry. With V-Ray 6, you can transfer your real-time scenes from Enscape and continue building on your work to take it to the highest possible level of photorealism.

With support for Enscape materials, 3D models, and lights, V-Ray ensures that all design decisions are kept throughout the project development stages and collaboration between designers and visualization specialists goes as smoothly as ever before.

No dead ends. No starting over. A seamless end-to-end design process."

Is there anything more from the Enscape team that you can share with us? Thanks

Transmutr works great

Thanks Demian Gutberlet Its such a weird bug because it only happens to certain users, it's difficult to reproduce, and it goes away on its own randomly.

My colleague submitted a feedback report so hopefully that will help get to the bottom of this issue.

The component (below) that is showing up is hidden, but I do not know why Enscape sees it at random times. I can send you the full model if you want to take a look at it as well.

Hello, we have a dynamic window component and inside is a hidden component. For whatever reason, Enscape sees that component at various times even though it is hidden inside the component. Also, without closing the model or restarting Enscape, the hidden component will suddenly become "hidden" again and behave normal. Any thoughts on why this happening?

Demian Gutberlet Just an FYI here is the link to the final result on our website with our Enscape video. It took a lot of code tweaking but we think it was worth it! Again, if the export process from Enscape's "Web" version could work on a website with no re-exporting that would be wonderful. Thank you!

I already added this suggestion in the Portal, but closet assets in general would be huge. Thanks!

I love the cloud movement option +1

Demian Gutberlet Sounds great. Thanks for looking into this. Our web guy said sometimes when exporting videos there is an option to for "fast-start." Perhaps that could be in a future update for Enscape videos or like you said just for the "web" version. Thanks.

At this point I feel like I am talking to my self but we figured out the issue. Hopefully this can help out anyone else who comes across this problem.

It has to do with "fast-start" or the "MOOV atom" placement when exporting. Long story short you want the placement at the beginning to enable the fast-start, but Enscape when exporting and encoding the file places the MOOV atom at the end.

Knowing this there is free converters online or if you have Adobe Premiere, you can export under their traditional h.264 file and it will then place it at the beginning, which will fix the problem and will allow the video to play on websites.

Demian Gutberlet Do have any knowledge in this? Shouldn't the export as "Web" option place the atom at the beginning allowing it to be placed on "web"sites?

Here is information from our web developer:

"There's usually a setting when exporting that preps the video for web streaming, which means that it allows what's called a "fast-start". This basically starts the video when it gets just enough data to stream smoothly."

Does anyone know anything about this? How can we get Enscape videos to offer this "fast-start"?

Hello, we are trying to incorporate Enscape videos (as an .mp4) into our firm's website and for some reason it will not play. Specifically Enscape's mp4s.

Our site will play other mp4s but for some reason it will not load and play Enscape's. The file size is only 7.5 MB. We have tried multiple videos and all have failed.

Has anyone had any success or experience with adding Enscape mp4 files to websites? Thanks

I just think if it gets imported into our CAD software all these little issues would be solved.

To all Enscape Devs,

The beauty of Enscape is that it updates in real-time with our CAD and how easy of a workflow it is from our CAD to Enscape. The less work we have to do directly in Enscape the better.

So please stop trying to make us work in Enscape and keep all the modeling in our CAD. That is your bread and butter. Please import the Site Context into our CAD and do not worry about all the little rotation and move tools in Enscape. They are so clunky. Thanks

+1 for importing Site Context into CAD

I replied to a more recent thread with something similar:

Closet Assets

Shoes, boots, shirts, hanging clothes, folded clothes, dresses, suits, coats, and bags.

Thanks in advance!

Fyi, I already submitted this as an idea in the Portal.

Demian Gutberlet , No specific Quadro cards yet. My firm is looking to replace some PCs and I was wondering about the pros and cons of the two cards. We have an RTX 3090 for a presentation PC which runs awesome as expected, but we will probably get a few new RTX 3060s for personal PCs.

Quote from Demian Gutberlet

jnurnberger , yes indeed - you will be able to make use of our raytracing functionalities as well as DLSS which counteracts the increased performance cost of these.

Awesome! Thanks for the quick response Demian Gutberlet

I wasn't quite sure if Quadro vs GeForce made a difference in that aspect. But as long as RTX is in that family and it is enabled in Enscape we are ok then.

Do you have any opinions on Quadro vs GeForce for SketchUp/Enscape use? Thanks
