Real time viz tool using AI to enhance assets, such as people and vegetation.
Enscape 4.1, the latest release of the BIM-centric real time visualisation tool, includes Chaos AI Enhancer, a new feature designed to elevate the visuals and export better-looking assets, such as people and vegetation, straight from Enscape.
Many of Enscape’s people and vegetation assets are produced in-house, keeping a strict budget of polygons that allows users to place multiple assets without experiencing a loss in performance.
Chaos AI Enhancer is designed to elevate the visual quality of these assets using an AI engine that identifies which pixels should be enhanced.
According to Chaos, these AI-optimised, realistic assets are crucial for creating vibrant scenes that help clients understand the design intent faster. Trees, flowers, people and more not only add emotions but are important to highlight perspectives and spatiality, the company stated.
Enscape 4.1 also includes new artistic visual modes that add the ability to create images simulating pencil or watercolour drawings. The new visual styles are available for screenshots, batch rendering, and video exports.
Other features include coloured shadows for artificial light sources, which means coloured glass and coloured semi-transparent furniture now drop coloured shadows when artificial lights are on (in addition to sunlight). Decoration objects will leave a coloured impression.
Coloured sun shadows has been updated so users can now add textures to the glass material (by uploading them) and the drop shadows will reflect those texture patterns.
The fog setting also has more accurate colouration at sunrise and sunset, meaning the distinctive orange hue is consistently represented regardless of the quality setting used. In high and ultra settings, the fidelity of fog shadows is improved, and coloured shadows interact with fog realistically.
Enscape 4.1 also includes a new Integrated Graphics Native Renderer so the software can be used on Windows computers with Intel and AMD CPUs (no separate dedicated GPU needed).
Finally, Enscape 4.1 includes a new add-on designed to integrate real-time rendering with building performance analysis. Learn more about Enscape Impact below
