Enscape for Mac

[elepp]

Enscape announced that they are working on a version for Mac. I hope that VW Inc. is already in talks with Enscape about implementing it next year. It would be a great alternative for us users. So far we only have Twinmotion for real time renderings. And I will be very upset if only the other big BIM-Software in the Nemetschek family gets a plugin.

@eleppWe have an excellent relationship with Enscape and you can expect we will be very supportive of their Mac version!

Some more interesting news for enscape user:

Wondering how it affects Vectorworks. 🤔

 

Interesting tidbit is that Sean Flaherty (Ex-CEO of Vectorworks) is now Chairman of the Board of Directors of Chaos.

Would be good to get updates from VW on these topics from time to time...!

 

It is very frustrating for M1 Mac users to have the only option of Twinmotion as real time render engine. Twinmotion is so very limitated and without path tracing the results are poor to say the least.

Hi @Dave Donley

 

Is there any update on a Vectorworks plugin for Enscape on Mac?

Any updates @Matt Panzer? Thanks

Twinmotion will lose customers over the simplest thing: the interface…specifically navigation! SO clumsy, so frustrating , and yet SO simple to fix. 
 

There are other criticisms of TM of course, but nothing so devastating as frustrating your own users.

The Architectural Features team is not involved with this but I'll see if I can get someone more involved with this to comment.

So, as I understand it, the plug-in is being developed by Enscape.  While we have a great relationship with them, we have no control over their development schedule and we don’t currently have an ETA.

Now that they started a Mac Version,

I am sure they do as much as they can to also support Vectorworks.

 

But priority is by their user base numbers.

Therefore they started with Sketchup.

And as even Sketchup is not yet full feature compatible with the Windows version,

I think it will still take some time for VW.

 

And if Revit would work on Mac, VW would even have to wait another bit longer

for their release 🙂

Enscape for macOS is out now, compatible with Vectorworks 2023 SP6 and Vectorworks 2024.

Just tested it myself this morning. Works really well!

A shame that it's subscription only and just as expensive as Twinmotion.

What a great news!

BOSS ! While I like TM renderings, the TM interface has been so clunky for years and years. Using navigation in TM is an exercise in frustration if you use a trackpad. ES live link is better than TM as well.

They recently changed the UI to make it similar to Unreal.

And soon you get Lumen (realtime GI) in TM.

You can already test the preview.

I think TM is on a very good way.

 

But they want money for TM now.

In the past they gave away permanent licenses for TM and did not ask for a fee between TM

main versions. No w they may ask for a price per year or version, which is similar to a service contract

or nearly like a subscription. Beside that it seem to stay perpetual.

Same for Unreal.

Beside Game producers, for "linear" productions, like videos (!) or visualization stills, Unreal

was free. No visualizers also have to pay. It is announced and said there will also be a

minimum earning until the fees start, but so far no concrete data or numbers ....

 

Interesting.

Basically I preferred Enscape in the past and was so much waiting for a Mac version.

But then they went chaos (group) and subscription.

And I do not go any subscription ......
