Nice find regarding lighting family and interpolation!
-
Where are the "splotches"? Are you referring to the space between the light sources? Are all the light sources the same elevation / location relative to the ceiling and bulkhead? Are the light sources all the same size and intensity?

One Enscape license will work with both Win / OSX. For VR suitable laptop your budget should be ~$3500. i9 processor and 4080RTX.

Couple of questions:
1. Is everything in the linked file geometry?
2. What is the render material assigned to the geometry in the linked file?
3. What displays in Revit if you change the view to Realistic mode?
-
Enscape for OSX doesn't yet support VR. At this time your only option for VR / Enscape is Windows.

The reddish tint appears to come from the time of day. The sunrise / sunset color will influence the color of the model.
Your laptop only meets minimum system requirements.
Make sure Autofocus is selected.

NO NO NO. You do not want to pay the extra money for a Quadro card. Get laptop w NVIDIA consumer gaming card with at least 8gb of ram. 4080 RTX is a great minimum. Here's a good benchmarking site for graphic cards: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/
Take the money you save by not buying Quadro, and invest it in NVIDIA stock. https://stocks.apple.com/symbol/NVDA

When you install / reinstall Enscape it resets the field of view resets to default 90°. You may want to modify back to about 60 or 65°.

Rather than use the Decal tool, can you open the window family and paint the image on the glazing? You'll also have better control of the origin using a model patter that's the same real world size as the image.
-
Use a Transparent PNG image and remove the filled region area around the head of the mascot. The background should display as transparent without the need for the cutout. Sample attached.
-
Enscape default 3D view is 3:4 aspect ratio. You can change the aspect ratio in Revit by selecting the view boundary and editing the properties.

Until this issue is fixed suggest opening two sessions of Revit.
- In the first session, open the project and necessary links.
- In the second session, link the project (and links) open in the first session.
Because the two files are opened in separate sessions of Revit, you won't have Worksharing issues requiring unloading the first file. You can create and modify views in the second session without causing Worksharing issues in the first session.
In the second session, open Enscape and create / modify views. This will not impact the opened first session of Revit or create issues with Worksets. You can still continue to make changes in the project in the first session and reload the file as necessary in your second session for rendering up to date design changes in Enscape.

Please make sure Auto Focus is enabled, otherwise the image may appear out of focus.
-
Render Quality in the Main tab is the render quality of the live view and doesn't effect saved images.
To improve the quality of saved images, go to the Output tab and increase the Resolution.
-
Open up the sliding door family and make sure a material parameter is assigned to the panel.

Set the sun position and save the view to Revit. Subsequently, if you want to update the sun position, you'll have to change the sun position in Revit. Presently there's no way to update the Sun position from Enscape back to an existing view in Revit.
-
The images above are photos that illustrate real-world.
-
Enscape doesn't run in virtualization.
-
The sun position in Revit is controlled in Revit Location and Render Settings (Location, Orientation, Time of Day and Date). You can set the sun position in Enscape and save it back to Revit. Be sure to uncheck these options. Revit will read the sun position, but when recalling the view, Revit will determine the sun position. This article might help if you're trying to create solar studies.
