Wow! the atmosphere in that video is amazing, and the water, just brilliant.

you have everything "too big", in USA. have you ever visited Europe? You wouldn't be asking such questions... Aaaand - everybody using "modern software" does not come from a "luxury environment"... the rest of the world is more "resource responsible"... or simply lives in a poorer environment. Mediterranean countries especially have MANY small cars... (Fiat Nissan, Renault... even VW beatle)
And that is my whole point, the library at moment has a good balance, it does not have everything I need nor everything you need but it does have cars we both can use, maybe in future we will both get more or what we both need.

I am using:
As you can see I have outlines set at '0' yet the resulting image still has outlines, I cannot remove them.
version
Does Enscape use a beta team to test builds before releasing them?
-
more small city cars... even some older ones.
That's subjective, I live in Texas and those are small cars, I cannot imagine smaller cars, can we have more trucks like F150's or Chevy's as well as SUV's. see, cars are based on ones environment, old cars? who drives old cars? why would one put an old car in a render? see my question might seem strange to you but in my world there are not many old cars on the road. So, I think the library is appropriate, there are small cars, family cars and some not very new ones, there is nothing showy in the library, what do you call a show off car?
-
So, as you can see this is a new issue, it DID work in the past, it WAS supported in previous versions, again, can we please fix this?
-
Did you use emmissive with the dinosaur cutouts?
yes, as you can clearly spot on the T-rex
-
This used to work with past releases, here is an example of when it worked, I think this was about 15 months ago, just uploaded this video today, as show has already aired so okay to show, See light beams, they worked just fine in the past, now it's just a solid beam of light, before it showed a gradient.
-
Pete, I'm mildly curious what your use case is for illuminated billboards. I agree about the self-shadowing issue though, I'd like to see a resolution for that one.
Here is a video a year ago to the day, I used an earlier version of Enscape, you will see light flickering and artifacts but you know what does work and now no longer works? face me, the dinosaurs seems to move with no shadow issues, it's all face-me, the hosts on host tower not only are face-me components, that are also illuminated and guess what, they worked then, but no longer work, so I'm mystified by above comment that it's not supported.
-
Sorry, but self-illumination faceme/billboards are not supported
Oh, did not know that, is that noted anywhere? 'm guessing that there will not be any plans to support this in the future either?
Now that Trello is no more, can we get a roadmap for the future? My needs may be diverging from your plans so 'd rather know now and move to something better suited than wait for something I'm never going to get, does that make sense?

These lights work in conjunction with a smoke machine in reality, i know in other unbiased render engines one needs to use a global medium to achieve this effect and it comes at a huge price of time as it renders very slow. However. there are ways to fake it using alpha based png's, this fakery is what I am attempting, problem is Enscape material emitters do not like gradients like this, so i was hoping for another trick, or to get the gradient bug fixed.
-
Face me has been broken for a while, when will it be fixed?
Here is a face me plane/billboard in Sketchup, a simple polygon with a material on it, nothing else in scene:
I added a little self illumination in Enscape material editor and this is the result:
Without illumination it looks like this:
Clearly a bug, can we get this fixed please?
-
Okay, here is a gradient, it goes from white to alpha, Enscape does not like gradients (you cannot see material as it's white on white here)
This is it in photo editor
This is the set up in SU:
This is the result in Enscape:
-
I can confirm this, I had the same issue.
-
what about to make cilinders /objects/ with some alfa mask to mimic that volumetric effect of spot light ....
I have tried that, problem there is when you make it an emitter it becomes a glowing cone
-
Do you consider post-prod or you need it internally?
I need animation, so no post prod, plus when 2 emitter based png's cross on another things go crazy.
-
I really need to create light beam effects, something that I have failed at until now.
This is what effect i need to achieve:
I have tried alpha masked png's but Enscape does not like emitter billboards, I cannot seem to achieve a satisfactory result, has anyone succeeded in something similar?

Firstly this thread is very natural, developers should be more concerned if a thread like this does not happen, with every release there will be acceptance, praise, disappointment and rejection, no company can make everyone happy at the same time. This release makes more people happy than it disappoints as it does include a very nice and growing library of assets and one can clearly see Enscape is a progressing software with a hard working team behind it. I'm a daily user, a "power user" I guess, my needs are different than the average user, it does not make my opinions more important as I'm just one of many users, but my voice and a few other dissenters here serve Enscape as a checks and balance, discussions like this are healthy for growth and direction.
Secondly, Enscape has come such a far way and pretty fast too, I remember the first SU version that lacked pretty much everything, no material editor or emitters, animation was a single path only, and we like this rate of improvement, one of the endearing qualities of Enscape is their attention and participation.
I also need to understand there are users unlike me that need an asset library, I may have years of collected assets but the average user may not.
So in conclusion, both opinions are valid just the fact that you took the time to express them serves Enscape and every non participant user. Enscape has come a long way, lets keep them on that track with both praise and accountability.

I have a long list of bugs and wishes, been with Enscape from the very first Sketchup version, I have come to the realization that Enscape is all about VR first, everything else is secondary, I have to pony up and get the new L9 if I want my needs fulfilled, or I can make a request on trello and hope the features lotto favors me. I too am disappointed that the new version is just an extended library I do not need and none of my bugs and issues were addressed.
-
And I found out that lights don't work within a 'face me' component.
Yes, I can confirm that.
-
Has this been fixed yet? I am having issues with face me components not displaying correctly
here is the Sketchup face-me component:
And this is how it shows in Enscape, unacceptable:
What is even worst is that they display opposite to the model.
This is the direction in SU:
But in Enscape, it goes in opposite direction:
