Enscape 4.4 available

Chaos introduces the latest version of Enscape™: Enscape 4.4! This is already the second release from the monthly update cycle, with new features and improvements being added each month to this render plugin for SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, Archicad and Vectorworks.

This version brings several improvements, including luminous materials and multiple building types for Enscape Impact (an innovative add-on that combines energy performance analysis with real-time rendering) and product licensing.

Important updates in Enscape 4.4

• Emissive Materials as Ray-Traced Light Sources (Windows only) Emissive materials now behave as true light sources when hardware ray tracing is enabled. This ensures more predictable lighting, reduces noise artifacts, and removes the need for inefficient modeling workarounds (e.g., manually placing thousands of light sources).
  
• Expanded Building Type Support in Enscape Impact (Windows only) Enscape Impact now supports additional building types, including Hospitality, Industrial, Retail, Sports, Transportation, and Warehouse. This expansion allows users to perform more relevant energy and comfort analyses tailored to their specific project needs.
  
• V-Ray Scene Export – Export Site Context Geometry Now when exporting a V-Ray scene, the site context included in the scene will be exported as well.
  
• Announcement – Phased Removal of Old Host Versions Starting in 2025, Enscape will remove unsupported host application versions from the installer three months after their official end-of-support announcement. While Enscape has historically supported older releases (for example, Revit 2015 – 2021), they’ve found that continuing to bundle out-of-date versions creates additional complexity for both developers and customer support teams. Since these older releases are no longer supported by their original publishers, phasing them out from the latest installers helps Enscape focus on providing the best possible experience for current versions.
