Any chance we could get an update on whats coming next after 2.6, there has been a lot of suggestions and upvoting so it would be nice to have a general idea what things are going to make it or not.
For me being able to create my own library of objects remains top of list!!
Hopeful Someone from Enscape will respond

Just checked the new preview version (2.6.0.5+9425) and this issue is not resolved, We love the new material editor but without the ability to control the sun position it totally useless.
Can you please indicate an approx time frame to have this resolved
Nuge
Arne,
what about the sun issue reported here
New Preview version and Camera Tracking / Sun
this is a major problem and would love a fix ASAP
also the grass height variation has no effect and the grass height slider changes the height but as soon as you move in the view port it jumps back to the default value (only seems to do this if the material has grass in the name)

Display MoreHi Micha,
Thank you for your feedback, always fun to discuss this topic with you.
The difference is that we're, practically, building the car while it's driving. That's why we have to optimize certain processes. An alternative to optimized reflections would be to bake them up front, which means a long process of, essentially, loading for the scene to be setup. The downside to this is that any changes in your scene would be disregarded by reflections until you bake them again. This process is, for example, being used by the Unreal Engine, and is great for building games that won't change after being shipped.
If you want to be able to change your scene on the fly, however, and the reflected objects to be always up to date without the baking process necessary, well, that's what our optimized reflections are for.
If you prefer to be able to bake reflections, although that means they can't react to changes in your scene anymore, I'll be happy to file your remark as feature request.
Cant we just have the option to "bake" once we are ready to make our final renders, we all understand that we will take a performance hit but i for one would like the option
Display MoreI had developed a nice work flow that allowed me to set up VIEWS in archiCAD then produce renderings in Enscape.
Previously, the SUN ANGLE(s) were reflected when I had the VIEW TRACKING in Enscape turned on and would switch between views..
Now, it seems that even though I switch the VIEWS in ARCHICAD (and the sun changes in the it's 3d window)... the sun remains the same (actually seems like it's always just before dawn, so hard to see anything)...
Is there some NEW setting that I need to attend to?
Is it just me???
d.
No its not you, i have had the same issue and it needs to be resolved, loving the material editor for archicad!!
The new preview is out, you can test the new ArchiCAD material editor directly
Wow finally!!!! thanks for the material editor, i will have a good play around with it tonight and provide feedback.

exactly how much attention should this thread get to be a feature the dev team would actually implement? Demian Gutberlet
Dont hold your breath!!
This forum is full of upvotes etc but we have no idea what might get included in the next versions if at all, I thought i read they had increased their development team, seems to have slowed down development not sped it up
Try 3DVista Virtual Tour
This is an example we showcased recently
Hi Pieter,
thanks for your feedback. It's great to hear that we are moving in the right direction, and we are just too slow. We are already working on the ability to allow reproducible renderings, I hope that it will be included in the next release. The logical first step was to embed the settings in the CAD project.
With that feature you will have a way to manage a list of views, consisting of camera, sun and settings - all embedded in the CAD project. Of course we are also thinking about updating these and syncing/using what the CAD offers natively.
I trust that archicad will have this functionally in the next release
I totally agree and have been on Enscape's case since the half baked archicads plugin came out.
Please, Please give the same functionally that the other plugins have for the same price.
wow!!!!
Will the Archicad Material editor be available soon?
CampCots,
I see that you have 2 HP Reverbs, can you please let me know your thoughts on these, is the visual quality as good as they are saying?
Thank you for the constructive feedback Tyler , we do actually have a few ideas already which would offer users more ways to add their voices directly instead of through us to our agenda. But, generally, be aware that every voice is being heard and every upvote is being counted internally. Also, if you haven't already, there is a DevAgenda you can check out here, which will always be updated.
Demian,
I totally agree with Tyler regarding your development agenda, I do see numerous posts that have been "up voted" but we have no idea what requests have the most votes or what features are going to be in upcoming releases. As an example when you released your objects you asked for feedback on what features users wanted, the overwhelming winner was the ability to create our own library of objects (still my number 1 wish), but we as users have no idea if this will happen and if it does what kind of time frame we are looking at. (While on the objects are more objects going to be released as the current libraries range is rather underwhelming)
Your link to the DevAgenda clearly shows that this post is not always updated as the last "Update" is December 2019 (5 months old), I thing all or us loved the Trello board as is was a easy way to see what was coming up etc, we all feel in the dark a bit now
Make a way so we can make our own libraries!!!! with proxieesssssss!!!!!!!!
plz
+100
While I don't think that it's useful for you if I go through every reason why we scheduled something
Thomas,
Perhaps you should go thru how and why things are scheduled and publish a roadmap of upcoming features, we all understand if things get delayed, thats business.
We use to have the trello board indicating what was being worked on etc but i see that has been discontinued, more transparency on whats coming would alleviate some of our concerns going forward.
We all love enscape and that's why we are so passionate about its development
I've noticed this is a common theme with pretty much all pieces of software today. The die-hard users (ie. those speaking out on the forums) are never satisfied, no matter how much is being done to develop the software, and there's always something that doesn't work or needs to be implemented. It never ends. Humans are great at taking things for granted. In my opinion, Enscape is near the top in terms of quick development cycles and responsiveness to user requests, much better than most companies. This doesn't mean we shouldn't keep requesting things and advocating for improvements, since we all want to see Enscape get better, but I get the impression you all don't appreciate it as much as you should. I think the new asset content is great and worthwhile, and while they haven 't released it yet, they've also been working on RTX implementation, which in my own biased opinion eclipses all of the requests above I'd love to see displacement and rounded edges too, but understand that not everything can be done at once.

I just want the functionally that has been promised and paid for, bring all of the plugins up to the same standard BEFORE releasing new features is my main gripe. I understand that the developers cannot satisfy all user requests and i am not asking for that, but selling me an incomplete versions for the same price is just wrong
JUST UPDATE IT SO WE HAVE PARITY nothing more nothing less
Anyway, it is not totally dissapointed for all of us if we know that Enscape team is working on it. But we hope that Enscape team should consider equally improving Enscape for all platforms in the future. Although each platform has its own way of working. It would be the best.
For me, it doesn't matter about Material Editor for Archicad instead it is about the integration/compatibility between Archicad and Enscape should be good as Sketchup or Revit has.
Thank for your team effort and hope that it is gonna be there soon.
I totally agree, this is the wider issue that you have different development cycles for your different plugins, your priority should be to get all of them to the same level before introducing any new features. as i have said before Archicad users are paying the same price as sketchup for a "not as complete" version. you have taken our money now deliver on your promises
I agree totally, they did promise that the development of the asset content would not interfere with the development of the program, but thats clearly not the case
