I can kinda understand why the developers prioritize other features.
The software is aimed at visualizing buildings. Video textures could be useful to create ambience and make rooms feel alive, but so could animated people/ trees/cars/doors/escalators etc.
It makes sense to optimize Enscape for static scenes, before moving on to animated scenes.
Having only animated textures, while everything else in the video is static, would feel a bit like a gimmick to me.
In my example the 'light' is just a bright spot on the texture. (no Enscape lights)
Emissive material on the bottom, glass material with bump map on the water surface?
There are textures in AppData\Local\Enscape\SystemData\Textures & AppData\Local\Enscape\SystemData\Assets\Data
I didn't try but I guess you can edit them with photoshop dds plugin.
+1 for this request
Currently the edges of my brick walls are very sharp.
Addition to this request: I would like to be able to keep the material editor on top of the Enscape window.
Currently, the main Sketchup window jumps on top of Enscape when I press a button.
The settings window is working fine, please make the material window like that as well.

In SketchUp you could use Skatter to load more high poly trees into your model.
Does Enscape handle components from Skatter differently than normal Sketchup components?
For example, if I place 100 identical trees, does Enscape render 100 trees? Or 1 tree and mirror it 99 times?
Is there any difference between using Skatter/Proxies/Sketchup components in terms of performance?
Thank you, that solved it.
The camera position causes a shadow / color change on my model. It's also visible when moving the camera:
Is there a way to disable this? Or is it a watermark (because of the trial version)?
Thanks for you answer Clemens Musterle.
I have one more question: what about the GPU settings, do these affect Enscape rendering?
The Nvidia control panel has settings like:

At the moment I'm using a mid-range graphics card (1050ti).
Would the quality of the exported pictures be much different when using a better/worse GPU?
(If both are using the same enscape settings) (Regardless of rendering time and frame rate)
