Enscape 3d

What is Enscape?

Enscape is a real-time rendering and virtual reality tool from Chaos for architects and designers that runs inside CAD and BIM software. Design changes appear in the rendered view as you model, without exporting to a separate application. It supports Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, and Vectorworks.

Key features of Enscape

• Real-time visualization: the render updates as you model, kept in sync in both directions.
• Veras AI: generate and compare design options within your model.
• Image-to-video animation: built-in animation presets.
• Site context: add surroundings to the project.
• Enscape Impact: thermal comfort and sustainability analysis.
• Chaos Cosmos: ready-to-use assets, materials, and people.
• Chaos Cloud: cloud collaboration for sharing and review.
• Enscape Envision: cinematic animation and scene assembly in the Collection plan.

How Enscape works

You install Enscape as a plug-in for your modeling software, open the live view, and navigate the model in real time. Materials, lighting, and assets are adjusted in the view, and changes sync back to the model. Finished views can be exported as images, videos, or shared through Chaos Cloud, and AI credits are used for Veras and other AI features.

Who uses Enscape?

Enscape is used by architects, interior designers, and visualization teams that want fast, in-context renders during design rather than a separate high-end rendering workflow. Teams that need physically exhaustive offline rendering may pair it with tools such as Blender or Unreal Engine.

Enscape runs inside Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, Archicad, and Vectorworks, and connects to the Chaos ecosystem including Chaos Cosmos and Chaos Cloud.

Enscape alternatives

SketchUp is a 3D modeling application and Enscape is one of the rendering plug-ins used inside it. Blender is a free open-source 3D suite with its own render engines and a steeper learning curve. 3ds Max is Autodesk's modeling and rendering package for high-end visualization. Unreal Engine is a game engine used for interactive architectural visualization.
