Experience a significantly improved UI for materials and textures, which were not originally designed for V-Ray in Rhino, and enjoy much faster import of Enscape scenes thanks to an optimized texture buffer management method.

- Improved viewport materials — Enhanced viewport materials now showcase procedural textures and their adjustments directly within the SketchUp viewport. This upgrade significantly improves the experience, especially for users who frequently incorporate viewport screenshots into their project presentations.
- One-click to Chaos Cloud — Experience a significantly more intuitive and accelerated workflow when submitting scenes for rendering on the Chaos Cloud. It’s as effortless as clicking a button.
