Enscape for SketchUp - Real-Time Rendering and Virtual Reality

Enscape™ belongs to a virtual reality and real-time rendering plugin for SketchUp as well as for Revit, Rhino and ArchiCAD). With a single mouse click, it is possible to run Enscape and instantly walk through your fully rendered project - no uploading to the cloud or exporting to other programs is necessary.

All modifications in SketchUp are quickly accessible to assess in Enscape. One can rapidly examine with several design options and display projects to clients.

If the client prefers to view something different in the design, Enscape will instantly demonstrates the changes already done to the project, even in VR. There is an option to generate a (web) standalone file of your architectural project and one can deliver an Enscape file to the clients or colleagues for instant illustration.

Given below, some useful features of Enscape:

a. Real-time walk-through - Rendering with a single click.
b. Live link to SketchUp - The modifications in SketchUp are directly shown in Enscapec. Direct Integration - Retain your tools and apply Enscape through the SketchUp toolbar
d. Virtual Reality (VR) - Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality support with one click
e. Web based Asset Library - Simply include Enscape-ready 3D models to your project
f. Web Standalone Export - Generate a link from your project that runs devoid of SketchUp in your browser

g. 360° Panorama Views - Supports Google cardboard for 360° mobile view
h. Video Path - Several options for each keyframe

Major applications:

a. Design review
b. Internal presentation
c. Client presentation
d. Instant render formation

It is compatible with SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018, SketchUp 2019.

Free Trial Version: The free trial will expire 14 days. After that, it is required to purchase a monthly or yearly license at the Enscape store www.enscape3d.com

Reduce your time significantly to create 2D, 3D drawings & 3D renders with WIC3D

Wicona, the leading solution provider in Aluminum façade, has recently launched a new software tool that can significantly minimize the necessary time for generating 2D and 3D drawings and 3D renders.

WIC3D is based on digital drawing platform that can be applied from the initial phases of schematic design. The designers will be able to discover alternative façade solutions. It can function with the description, analysis and visualization of architecture and facilitates project stakeholders to evaluate the influence of various façade choices and changes.

The user-friendly tool allows architects, engineers and fabricators to draw initial design concepts and ideas instantly and efficiently as well as integrate Wicona’s extremely engineered curtain walling, window, door and solar shading systems.

WIC3D is a perfect modeling software for designing, visualizing, documenting, and communicating façade solutions.

WIC3D can generate perfectly scaled drawings and at the same time enhance exactness and save time. The façade designs are demonstrated both internally and externally facilitating proportions, configurations and options for being evaluated and developed.

The modeling tool is specially created to interface with most recognized CAD systems to import and export 2D and 3D design drawings.

WIC3D offers the following functionalities:

▪ 3D visualizations generated with Google SketchUp can be imported into WIC3D to create and demonstrate 3D renders highlighting WICONA façade systems where necessary in the 3D construction.

▪ 2D elevation drawings can be delivered into WIC3D to be applied as a template to produce 3D renders. These can then be exported to be applied with all leading CAD software together with AutoCAD®, Bentley®, ArchiCAD and ADT.

▪ It is also possible to export 3D renders to be applied with Google SketchUp or in 3ds format to be applied with AutoDesk 3ds Studio Max.

One can access WIC3D through the Wicona WIC3D website for a free 30-day trial (www.wic3d-wicona.com) and there is a demonstration video to view.

To get more information, send mail to info.wiconauk@wicona.com or call 0845 602 8799.
