All mentioned prices are per license / seat and ex. VAT!

¹ A standalone (fixed-seat) license is limited to one machine. To transfer it, use the 'Remove' function in the 'General Settings' menu.

² A floating license can be used on multiple machines, as long as the number of opened Enscape™ windows does not exceed the number of licenses. An internet connection is required, but no additional manager. If there is no internet connection while you try to open Enscape™, Enscape™ will start a 24 hour timeframe, counted on from the last successful validation. During this timeframe, you will be able to use Enscape™ as usual. If your computer still has no connection after 24 hours, or if your computer regains internet connection, but all of your seats are currently being used, Enscape™ will get watermarked.

* Volume discounts are available for multiple licenses and 3-year licenses.

• Adjustable assets
  With the new Adjustable Asset series, users can make changes to the material, color, or variation of certain Enscape assets. Furniture materials can be altered, clothing colors of certain people assets can be changed, and exact colors can be chosen for each of the 91 vehicles in Enscape. Alternative assets can also be seen for trees and plants, specifically autumnal trees and unpotted plants. All assets with this new functionality can be found by filtering using the tag “Adjustable”.
• Improved lighting and reflections
  Enscape 3.5 includes improvements to its global illumination algorithm, which delivers enhanced lighting, reflections, and rendering quality to users with GPUs that support hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Users will see an improvement in the quality of indirect lighting, especially in interior scenes, resulting in more realistic and high-quality visualizations. Additionally, users will experience more consistent lighting and precise shading in mirror reflections. This feature is available for users with NVIDIA RTX or AMD RX 6000/7000 series graphics cards.
• New 3D people assets
  53 people were added to the Enscape Asset Library in January 2023. These are real people who have been scanned with our in-house 3D scanner. The library continues to grow with a new batch of 40 people that allow clothing customization with Enscape 3.5 and will get more diverse over time. Plans are also in place to start scanning more animals and helpful objects using this same technology. The scanned people assets are exclusive to Enscape and will be available in Chaos Cosmos shortly. They can be found by filtering for the tag “Exclusive”.
• Alpha channel export improvement
  Users can now export renderings with a transparent background, facilitating editing and post-processing in other tools. Users can also export semi-transparent materials, such as windows and glass surfaces, reducing the amount of time required for refining these materials during post-processing.
• >Orthographic views update for Revit
  Enscape 3.5 allows for the synchronization of orthographic views between Revit and Enscape. Any orthographic view created or edited in Enscape will be reflected in Revit, and the crop region in Revit will match the Enscape viewport. This synchronization is bi-directional, meaning that users can adjust the crop region in Revit to modify the view in Enscape as well.
• Certified SpaceMouse support
  With Enscape 3.5, it is possible to customize mouse controls through shortcut buttons on the SpaceMouse itself. This will make it easier for users to use a SpaceMouse and navigate a 3D model in conjunction with Enscape.
• Layer assignment of assets in Rhino
  In previous versions, when an Enscape asset was placed into a project, Rhino would assign it to the Default Layer. Now when placing assets in Rhino or Enscape, they will be placed in the currently selected layer.
• New user area in toolbar
  Users can now access their account directly from the Enscape toolbar. This will make it easier for them to manage and check their license status, manage web standalones, and panoramas.
