Well this thread was an entertaining break.
This is a classic case of learning frustrations of using a new tool. Yes lot of improvements can be made but Enscape isn't a UE, Lumion, or Twinmotion. The sooner you accept that they better off you are. Enscape does a good job.
grunge is for adding all kinds of imperfections to textures right? If so, +1 from me.
yes! or the ability to add decals could be a great option.
great example use case:
Great feature to level up renderings. Further explanation not needed - take a look at Twinmotion. They have this feature in the material builder.
Enscape 18.2.3
Try the scatter Plugin
Thoughts?
massimo_risca, take a look at the mock up i did. So I think I understand what you are trying to create.
Dot pattern on the front of the glass which is smooth and the ribbed distortion on the back of the glass. So what I did is made to planes and added the dot pattern on the front panel of glass and added the ribbed pattern to the second plane of glass.
Let me know if this helps.
You will want to create a glass material and add the imperfection or "vertical pattern" into the bump slot.
You can using this - made in Substance
Just curious has this been implemented yet? PLEASE! the controls are so obtrusive and the auto hide is not useful.
The controls take up a complete third of the window.
Hi everyone!
Substance Alchemist added a preset for Enscape material map export. This is great as it automatically corrects the Normal Map.
We saw a news this morning that LUMION10.3 supports displacement mapping
Yeah I just saw the new Feature of TwinMotion 2020 and wow! big advancements. I'm sure Enscape has some fun surprises this year for us.
If you wish to have animated textures in the future, let me know and I'll forward it accordingly as feedback.
+1 on this.
I use Megascans on a regular basis, and uses transmutr to get them into sketchup. Transmutr has a direct link with quixel bridge, and can save models directly as enscape proxies. it is not exactly the same as having them go into the actual asset library, but it works very well!! all materials are set up correctly, and you can even tweak the poly count before importing.
So i just updated my transmutr app as it seem more stable. I tried the enscape proxy option. I see it makes two model 1) reference 2)full geo. What is the proper workflow to get this to work in enscape?
The user sent me this screen capture. Told this person to submit the logs but they didn't.
Any thoughts
Do you have Photoshop running in GPU mode? This would explain out-of-memory crashes because Photoshop, as well as Enscape, may use really a lot of GPU VRAM.
Thats it! good call.
I experience this a lot. I believe it may have something to do with my RAM resources. My current hypothesis is if I have Photoshop open with files open and I try to render in Enscape. Enscape + SkechUp will crash. If I close out of PS and do the same render works perfectly. Not fully sure if RAM swapping is causing the crash but the current work-around seems to be helping my situation until I can get more memory.
Current my machine has 32 gb of RAM.
+1 for normal and/or displacement map support.
In the meantime, I saw some talk earlier in the thread of adding a "_n" suffix.
Does this work in sketchup? in Rhino? And where is that suffix containing normal map added, to the bump slot?
thx!
That is new info to me. So far is you input a properly generated normal map it should work fine. I have only have a couple occasions where it didn't work.
PS @jtubb now U can take a note about Alchemist normal map and correct your advice=). And my analogy for You know who: When play a piano use left hand instead right to get correct melody =)
I still recommend substance - best tool i have used for producing PBD materials.
Thanks for answer! What do you mean "Download Substance"?
Substance is a material creation tool.
Their platform Alchemist is great for converting Bitmaps into PBR materials.
