I was first introduced to it at NVIDIA's 2019 GTC conference, where its use by the firm Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) - an early adopter and advanced user of AEC technology - was being showcased. A comparison of SGA’s real-time rendering with Enscape for a project, shown on the left, with a photograph of the finished construction, shown on the right (Courtesy: SGA)įor an application that is so widely used, Enscape is relatively recent - it was launched only in 2017. Figure 1 shows an example from SGA’s profile showing how close their real-time Enscape rendering of a project came to the finished construction.įigure 1. In fact, the quality of the renderings that was achieved with Enscape was so good that none of these firms mentioned using any other application for visualization. In AECbytes alone, many of the firms and projects that were recently profiled described how they were using Enscape for its real-time rendering capabilities, including Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge University, William Duff Architects, ACPV (Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel), The Momentary, and SGA. The use of Enscape by AEC firms is rapidly gaining momentum. The quality of the renderings is so good that most of the time, a separate rendering application would not even be needed, unless a highly sophisticated animation with moving objects is required (of the kind that can be created, in say, Twinmotion or Lumion). With it, designers can see the impact of design changes in real time, which is not just useful to them for their design work, but also for sharing their designs with their clients and getting immediate feedback. Enscape is a real-time rendering application that connects directly to five different design applications popularly used in AEC: Revit, Archicad, SketchUp, Rhino, and Vectorworks.
