Enscape 4.4.0
Release Notes 26.02.2025
New
- 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 our installer three months after their official end-of-support announcement. While we’ve historically included older releases (for example, Revit 2015 - 2021), we’ve found that continuing to bundle out-of-date versions creates additional complexity for both developers and customer support teams.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 our latest installers helps us focus on providing the best possible experience for current versions.
Each time we officially support a new host application release, we’ll clearly communicate which older versions will be removed, and when, through our Forum and Release Notes. We understand change could be inconvenient, but this policy ensures better code quality, a streamlined installer, and improved support for you. Stay tuned for more details!
Fixed Bugs
- ArtModes - Crash with Alpha Mask: Fixed a crash during screenshot export when using Watercolor, Orthographic, and Apply Alpha Channel.
- SketchUp Mac - Crash When Adding First Embedded Object: Fixed a crash occurring when embedding an object into SketchUp for the first time.
- NewForma Konekt - Annotation Without Value Throws Exception: Fixed an issue where creating an annotation without setting a custom attribute value caused an exception in Newforma Konekt.
- Renderer Toolbar Responsiveness: All Renderer toolbar commands are accessible, either using a toolbar button, or a menu command depending on the width of the window.
Manual adjustments to lights in SketchUp lead to unexpected values: The value is applied as provided by the user. Any light will show such a behavior, being length, beam angle, width, light source radius etc.
[Rhino 8] No selected view on Enscape start: When user selects a view in Rhino8 and opens Enscape, the selected view is the same.
[Rhino 8] With View Sync enabled, selecting a view from the CAD should select the same view in Enscape View Management
The geometries lose their materials after batch rendering: After the batch rendering process all elements, geometries, and assets are now visible with their details and attributes.
- V-Ray scenes cannot be exported: Now V-ray scenes are exported.
- Adjustable assets that have different meshes are displayed twice when selected and can cause Enscape to crash
- Enscape Help Center links lead to General Chaos Help: Now Enscape opens Enscape Feedback window
- Foliage material Transparency section is disabled: The Foliage material Transparency section is enabled and if you assign an alfa-texture for Albeto and confirm the pop-up message it is expected the same texture to be added as Transcapency as well.
- CPU usage spikes to 100% when tweaking sound sliders: The computation is now done only once when the mouse stops moving.
