The Enscape workflow has launched new features and updates. The latest release includes AI updates in Veras and Envision, a smoother link between Enscape and Envision, compex scene support, and tools for better collaboration to help architects and designers work faster and win more projects.
Key takeaways:
-
A faster visualization workflow: A new Enscape and Envision connection, smarter asset search, and AI-assisted tools.
-
AI is now embedded throughout your toolkit: From generating design alternatives in Veras to finding assets in Envision, AI is woven into the workflow.
-
Enscape is accessible to more people on your team: The barrier to entry is lower with Veras included in all plans and Envision’s Easy Mode.
-
Complex scenes are no longer a special case: Stability improvements mean Enscape holds up under the conditions real projects actually create.
-
Winning client approval gets easier: Make a stronger impression with better collaboration tools in Chaos Cloud, more polished AI visuals, and a smoother path from design to presentation.
As with all Enscape releases, this one is focused on one thing: making your workflow smoother.
The latest updates bring Enscape and Envision closer together with a new Live Link, expand Veras to all plans, simplify Envision with an Easy Mode and AI assistant, and add over 2,500 new Cosmos assets.
Combine that with improved light management, video collaboration in Chaos Cloud, Revit 2027 support, and a boost in complex scene stability, and you have new features that touch every part of the workflow and get you closer to winning more work.
Here's what you get from this release:
Enscape to Envision Live Link
Moving a project from Enscape into Envision used to mean exporting the scene, reimporting it, and rebuilding your settings from scratch. That process is gone. The new Live Link connects Enscape and Envision directly.
You can now move from real-time design exploration in Enscape to a fully ray-traced walkthrough in Envision in a single click, with your scene intact. No export, no reimport, no lost work. This changes how fluidly the two solutions can be used together across a project.

Veras is now available on all plans
Veras, Chaos's AI-powered visualization tool, is now included across all Enscape plans, including Solo. If you haven't used Veras before, here's why this is big news.
Veras generates design alternatives directly from your existing model. Massing options, material variations, and style explorations are produced in the early design stages, when those decisions carry the most weight, all without leaving your CAD or BIM environment. Enscape Solo users have access to this for the first time.
More Veras updates:
Version 4.4 introduced Rotate Image, which lets you generate a new render from a different viewpoint without needing a 3D model, and two new selection modes for targeted edits to specific parts of a render: Modify and Replace.
Version 4.5 adds Smart Selection for AI-powered one-click object and material targeting, shareable gallery links for collaborator review, a Remove Background mode that exports transparent PNGs for compositing, persistent upload history with prev/next navigation, overhauled sketch tools with full undo/redo, and a Describe Source Image feature that generates prompt-ready descriptions of your source image.
Envision Easy Mode (beta)
For new users, Envision can be a tool with a steep learning curve, particularly around animation timelines, keyframes, audio, and materials editing. Easy Mode addresses that directly.
Currently in beta, this new mode simplifies the most complex parts of Envision's workflow so that new users can get productive faster, without stripping away capabilities for those who want them.
Users can switch between Easy Mode and the full interface based on their experience level and the project's demands. If you've been putting off learning Envision, this is a good moment to revisit it.
Envision AI Assistant (beta)
Envision now includes an AI-powered assistant that lets you work through natural language instead of navigating menus and settings. Upload a reference image to match its lighting and mood, find the right materials and 3D assets from Cosmos with a simple prompt, or get quick answers on product features and workflows, all without leaving your scene.
Currently available as a beta, it includes three skills: light mood match, material and asset suggest, and workflow guidance. Make sure you’re using version Enscape Envision 1.5 and above to enjoy this feature.
Real-time animated water in Envision
Water surfaces in Envision now animate directly in the viewport, just like in Enscape, allowing you to experience dynamic oceans, rivers, and pools in real time without waiting for a final render.
2,500+ new Cosmos assets
This release comes with over 2,500 real-time optimized assets for the Cosmos library. The collection includes vegetation, people, accessories, and branded objects, all ready to drop into your scenes.
Finding the right asset is faster, too. A new search approach combines semantic understanding with structured filters, making it faster to find the right asset. Describe what you’re looking for in plain language and get relevant results without scrolling through pages of options.
Enscape Collection users also get access to 600+ additional high-quality assets.
Chaos Cloud video collaboration
Review workflows have long been one of the more painful parts of the visualization process, with feedback scattered across email threads, versions hard to track, and rounds of revision difficult to manage.
Chaos Cloud now supports video collaboration. You can share visualizations, collect feedback, and manage review rounds in one place. Less back-and-forth, clearer feedback, and a record of where the project has been.
Improved light management
Two targeted improvements have been made to make working with lighting in Enscape more consistent and predictable.
First, the same clustering algorithm is now applied whether you are viewing all lights or only visible lights. Previously, switching between these views could produce inconsistent results in how lights were grouped, and now, that inconsistency is resolved.
Second, light clustering behavior in orthographic view has been improved, so lights group and separate more predictably as you zoom and navigate the scene.
Support for Revit 2027
Enscape now supports Revit 2027. Users on the latest version of Revit can continue working in Enscape without interruption and enjoy features such as the AI Autodesk Assistant, Accelerated Graphics, improved support for SpaceMouse, plus so much more.

Complex scene support
This technical improvement addresses a significant pain point for architects and designers: software instability and limitations in large, complex models. With enhanced stability and reliability, you’ll experience fewer crashes and runtime failures, plus there is no longer a need to divide your project into smaller scenes.
The new support eliminates a hard technical limitation that previously caused Enscape to fail when a project's scene data grew too large. This means a more robust and dependable experience, especially during the later, more detailed stages of a project.
We removed the 2GB project size barrier, which provides scalability for complex projects in Enscape. Now, you can work confidently on much larger and more complex designs without the fear of hitting a technical limitation. Enjoy greater creative freedom and the ability to visualize intricate, large-scale environments that were previously impossible to handle in a single Enscape scene.

More connected, more stable, without disrupting how you work
The new Enscape features are built around a simple idea: the tools you rely on should work together better, hold up under pressure, and get out of the way when you need to focus on design.
Taken individually, each of these updates solves a specific problem. Taken together, they reflect a consistent direction: Enscape should connect more fluidly to the tools around it, perform reliably under the conditions real projects create, and be accessible to more users without asking the people who already use it to relearn how it works.
