If you want to try the concepts covered in this article, consider downloading the free SketchUp sample project provided by Enscape. What used to take hours to render and look decent in our old software, now takes seconds and looks remarkable using Enscape. It is truly amazing, the level of realism we can achieve with so little effort and with blazing fast speeds. These include wood, fabric, and foliage to name a few. This post will cover the creation and management of photorealistic textures and materials. Here’s one more closeup of the SketchUp viewport and corresponding Enscape render after 1 second.I previously wrote a post on using Enscape with SketchUp which covered light sources. I find the “reduced polygons” approach makes it easy to fine-tune the trees positioning and orientation so that branches don’t go places you don’t want them to. Not so pretty looking in the SketchUp viewport though… Enscape opted to show their native assets with an “envelope” style mesh which seems cleaner to the eye but maybe not faster on the viewport. This is how it looks with the big trees all over the grounds! It is much smoother using the “Low Poly” version of the assets inside SketchUp with faster scene load times. In addition to importing the Globe Plants models into Enscape, they also optimized the 3d mesh, material, and textures to fit the “Low Poly” concept. The scattering process was fast and screen performance did not degrade a bit. Using the “zones” feature of Skatter for the clustering of plant types. The single items are placed outside the house walls. With SketchUp, you can scatter objects using the Skatter plugin, and I know that you can use the RhinoNature plugin for that in Rhino.īelow you can see the (very basic) “painted” type scattering of small plants around the test house lawn. With this toolkit, the generated assets can be used for any 3D platform Enscape supports, like Sketchup, Revit, Archicad, Vectorworks, Rhinoceros, and more.Įnscape objects work perfectly with plugins inside the software. I could create assets for Enscape by myself through the Enscape Custom Asset option in their content browser. When version 2.9 of Enscape came out, things changed for the better in that regard.
