Enscape, a leading provider of 3D real-time rendering and virtual reality technology for the global AEC industry, announced at the company’s first user event, ENVISION 21, its plans to release Enscape for Mac, its first SDK partnership with TestFit Inc. and its future roadmap.
Enscape welcomed over 6,000 architects, designers, planners, and 3D artists worldwide. The three-day interactive virtual event featured leading architects and designers, including Wolfram Putz from Graft Architects, Florian Kohlbecker from Kohlbecker Gesamtplan GmbH, and Michael Drobnik from Herzog & de Meuron, who shared their views on industry issues, trends, and the benefits of adopting new technologies into the design workflow of architectural projects.
The event kicked off with a welcome from Christian Lang, Enscape CEO, where he shared his views on the advancements in visualization technologies and how Enscape plays a significant role in democratizing architectural visualization. “By integrating deeply into your BIM modeling software, focusing on simplicity and ease of use, we transform the discipline of architectural visualization into a mission-critical tool of today’s design process, right from the very start, throughout all phases of architectural projects.” In support of this, he announced Enscape’s latest developments.
