Overview
The main focus of Enscape lies in the calculation of realistic representations of architecture with low operating complexity. A real-time process is used to achieve higher iteration speeds on the planning project through reduced waiting times. The respective CAD model is used, for example, to derive a virtual reality simulation.
Enscape uses OpenGL 4.3 and Vulkan and provides photo-realistic representations of the underlying CAD models. Using a path tracing process and physically based material models, the global illumination can ( global illumination are displayed realistically).
The following construction solutions are currently supported:
Special features of the renderer
- Enscape is based on the internally developed renderer, which is optimized for architectural visualization .
- GPU-controlled rendering technologies are used in order to be able to represent all architectural project sizes without loss of detail (such as through LOD processes [ level of detail ]) .
- Hybrid ray tracing to simulate physically correct indirect lighting and reflection, whereby image-based " screen space " techniques are combined with BVH- based global data structures.
- Global lighting calculations can thus be carried out very quickly and largely independently of the complexity of the project.
