Enscape

The main focus of Enscape lies in the calculation of realistic visualizations of architecture with low operating complexity. A real-time method is applied to achieve higher iteration speeds at the planning project by reducing waiting times. The respective CAD model is used, for example, to derive a virtual reality simulation.

Enscape uses OpenGL 4.4 and Vulkan and provides photorealistic representations of the underlying CAD models. With the help of a path-tracing procedure and physically based material models, the global illumination can be visualized realistically.

The following design solutions are currently supported:

• Revit
• SketchUp
• Rhinoceros 3D
• ArchiCAD
• Vectorworks
• ReluxDesktop

• Enscape is based on the self-developed renderer optimized for architectural visualization
• GPU controlled rendering technologies are used to display all architectural project sizes without loss of detail (e.g. by LOD [level of detail])
• Hybrid ray tracing to simulate physically correct indirect lighting and reflection, combining image-based screen space techniques with BVH based global data structures
• Global lighting calculations can thus be performed very quickly and largely independently of the complexity of the project
• Real-time rendering: Design changes can be viewed instantly, in one workflow, through a rendering window linked to the live model. 
• Bi-directional sync: Updates can be seen instantly in Enscape and in the original scene. Changes made in the model or in Enscape sync both ways.
• AI-powered ideation: Creative directions can be explored with the Veras integration.
• AI-enhanced scene enrichment: Scenes can be enhanced and adjusted for higher-quality and more accurate visuals.
• AI image upscaler: Low-resolution drafts or renders can be upscaled up to 16K.
