Enscape for Mac

Rex Maximilian
Advisor

Intersting... Enscape for Mac has been released. It does NOT work with ArchiCAD, but I assume that is a temporary road block. For now you save your ArchiCAD model to Sketchup and then save to Enscape.

It's not cheap though... $54/mo. for use on "one" computer.

This ArchiCAD user from Australia (is he a member in this forum) did a Twinmotion to Enscape comparison on an M1 Ultra Mc Studio. All he did was import the model directly into each, did no tweaking, and then rendered a view. Just out of the box Enscape looked leagues better. I assume it is using raytracing with native Metal Graphics code. Check it out here.

I was very, very excited to see the sneak peek into Twinmotion 2023 Preview 2 with their new and improved interface, but if you're on Mac, still no raytracing.

I am going to try the demo of Enscape since I currently have half a dozen projects using Twinmotion and am always looking for the latest and greatest rendering softwares.

Anyone else have any input regarding Enscape for Mac?

It was released last year and yes the Mac version was only for Sketchup 21 and 22... 😞

 

Results were great even without raytracing though compared to the Windows version, there were some functionnalities that were missing but I think it was expected for a first version. There is a thread on their message board regarding Archicad but no real news,  any time, one asks about a release date for Archicad on MacOS, they reply that it's in the works and to subscribe to the newsletter : https://forum.enscape3d.com/index.php?thread/21398-enscape-for-mac-archicad/
