What’s new in the Enscape workflow?
Start faster inside your Enscape workflow
The following updates focus on eliminating friction in your everyday workflow. Enjoy faster scene setup, clearer lighting control, smarter materials, and more realistic environments.
Intuitive asset placement
Through the Asset Brush Placement tool, you can quickly populate scenes with vegetation and props without manual copying or tedious adjustments.
Centralized light management
Control all project lighting directly inside Enscape, without switching back and forth to CAD. This feature centralizes lighting control directly inside Enscape, reducing the need to switch back to CAD or manage lights manually.
Cleaner lighting in reflections
Hide light sources in reflected surfaces for greater visual control and more realistic results, without extra workarounds.
AI-generated materials inside Enscape
AI-based material generation is now available in the Enscape Material Editor via Cosmos. Create realistic materials directly from images and apply them to your model instantly. Materials are usable immediately in Enscape and Envision.
Enhanced grass visualization
Enjoy more realistic grass rendering that delivers denser, more natural-looking landscapes with better shading and detail. Improve visual clarity and client perception without increasing complexity.
More ready-to-use content
Expanded Cosmos library with over 1, 000 new real-time assets, 200 assets for Envision, and 20 HDRIs available instantly.
AI-assisted ideation and design exploration
The AI updates in the Enscape workflow let you explore ideas without breaking your model. AI outputs are no longer unpredictable or disconnected from the model, as the AI understands geometry, materials, and lighting context.
More reliable AI rendering
The improved AI engine in Veras 4.0, powered by Nano Banana Pro, delivers cleaner images, stronger architectural fidelity, and results that stay true to your original design.
Faster style control with image references
Guide the AI using reference images to match tone, atmosphere, and visual style—helping you reach the right look with fewer iterations. Creating or sourcing materials used to require manual setup or external tools, but now you can generate materials with AI directly from real-world photos.
Move easily from design to presentation
The Envision updates let you take your work further without having to rebuild anything. You can adapt to project changes when needed, without being forced into new workflows, tools, or learning curves.
Cosmos-aware assets
This update improves the transfer of Cosmos assets and materials between Enscape and Envision, ensuring they remain intact.
Prior to this, finding high-quality assets required external libraries or manual imports, and assets placed in Enscape often needed rework in Envision. Cosmos assets are optimized for both real-time and high-end visualization, preserving the structure, materials, and intent.
Live link in Envision
Envision now connects live to Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino. Envision builds on Enscape’s real-time workflow and extends it into animation and presentation, while keeping the CAD model as the single source of truth. Projects can move from real-time design into animation and storytelling without duplicating work.
Improved animation and camera controls
Envision now provides refined camera and animation tools built for presentation-quality storytelling. Architects can create smooth camera motion with visual path feedback, controlled interpolation, and precise timing adjustments. Walkthroughs and fly-throughs feel natural and polished, with greater control over pacing and transitions.
Present, review, and get approvals faster
Make feedback and client decisions part of the same workflow with new Chaos Cloud collaboration improvements.
Structure review and approved workflow
Clients and teams can comment on, review, and formally approve visuals in one place—eliminating the need for downloads or external tools.
Interactive 3D streaming from Enscape
Share live project walkthroughs directly through the cloud, no software required on the client side.
Enjoy continuity across design stages with the Enscape workflow updates
Spend time designing, not translating, rebuilding, or fixing broken handoffs. The Enscape workflow behaves as a single system, allowing design intent to survive iteration, collaboration, and scale.
The latest updates to the Enscape workflow preserve Enscape’s ease of use while enabling teams to naturally progress into additional capabilities without disrupting workflows or introducing complexity. Enjoy continuity as you move forward and backward across design stages.

FAQs
How does the Nano Banana Pro engine in Veras keep AI renderings true to my original design?
Nano Banana Pro powers Veras’s Render Engine 7. It keeps AI renderings true to their design by delivering cleaner, more stable AI-generated images and videos with significantly fewer artifacts and hallucinated geometry.
How does Envision’s Live Link for Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino keep my model connected while creating animations?
Envision’s Live Link for Revit, SketchUp, and Rhino keeps your model connected while creating animations via the Chaos Bridge. This compatibility bridges the transition from real-time design to high-end presentation.
How does creating materials from real-world photos in Enscape help speed up my workflow?
Creating materials from real-world photos in Enscape with the AI Material Generator speeds up workflows, as no manual editing is required. The AI Material Generator transforms any real-world surface photo into ready-to-use PBR materials.
How does Chaos Cloud eliminate the need for external tools during the client review and approval process?
Chaos Cloud eliminates the need for external tools during the client review and approval process by centralizing approval workflows within the same platform used for sharing visuals. It is a cloud-based service that allows you to collaborate during design reviews.
How does the connected Enscape workflow support scalability for both solo architects and large design firms?
The connected Enscape workflow supports scalability for both solo architects and large design firms, enabling them to adapt to project changes when needed without being forced into new workflows, tools, or learning curves.
