TIP: If you're ever in Manly, Australia go to Kazzi Beach and Greek and get the Eggs Benedict with salmon! Being back on the road, visiting Enscape enthusiasts for the first time in three years made breakfast extra special. I've known Steve for 20+ years and have always appreciated his rigorous intellect and quick wit. I had the good fortune of enjoying breakfast last Saturday with Steve Taskin (thanks Steve!). For the True Believers this will likely amount to heresy and get me excommunicated from the Church of Revit.
In today's BIM Sermon I'm going to suggest that SketchUp and Revit can work together for the greater good. A real-time realistic graphic engine like Enscape gives this result in seconds allowing us to investigate more viewpoints and entire routes in the time that it normally took to make several images.It's Sunday in Australia. Since some of these images took hours to render (depending on the quality and complexity of the scene and lighting) it was a slow and laborious process. Until now this was mostly done by imagination or pointing a camera and ray-trace rendering one image at a time. One of the most important aspects of architectural design is predicting light effects that will happen in a space. This gives architects new tools to visually test the effects of the modeled spaces with realistic textures and light, thus allowing them to make improvements in the design before documenting it for construction. The folks at Inreal technologies understood this and developed a Revit plugin called Enscape3d, that directly uses the Revit project database to map and render a real-time walk-able export in minutes. Their popularity made hardware more powerful and affordable every year, and we have now reached a point where real-time graphic processing engines for games can become a powerful new tool for architectural studies.
Video game engines have a long history to following our latest graphic and display technologies.
