##   
**New**

---

- **Support Photoreal Materials in SU2025:** Enscape now supports the new physically based (“photoreal”) materials introduced in SketchUp 2025, ensuring a seamless, high-fidelity rendering experience that matches material definitions across both platforms. Metalness map and Ambient occlusion are not supported.
- **Automatic level of detail for scene geometry:** A new approach to automatically simplify the scene geometry in order to provide performance increases for scenes with a higher geometric complexity.
- **Check for Running Embedded Apps and Errors reporting:** Improve handling of running processes and error reporting for all embedded installations in the Enscape Installer
- **Improved Visual Balance in Pen & Pencil Sketch Mode:** Adjusted the appearance of vegetation contours and hatching in Pen/Pencil sketch mode. Contours are now more clearly visible, and hatching no longer appears darker than the outlines, resulting in a more readable and visually balanced sketch style.
