--- title: "4.14.0 macOS" canonical: "https://documentation.chaos.com/space/ERN/379191297/4.14.0%20macOS" format: markdown --- Release Notes 10.12.2025 ## **New** --- - **Light Management Browser** The new Light Management Browser enables adjusting light properties directly inside Enscape. Light intensity, color, and on or off states can be controlled through Light Presets, while original CAD values stay unchanged. Multi selection, and proportional adjustments support efficient work in large scenes. Presets can be saved per view, allowing the same light sources to produce different lighting conditions that shape the atmosphere of each scene and help clarify lighting decisions. *Note: Light Management is released as a Beta feature. Certain parts are not final yet. Your feedback will help us refine and extend the feature in upcoming versions.* ![LIghtManager_InteriorLamp_Multiple.png](media://7882e1c4-9f6e-4264-97a8-cb69022d4532) - **Material Generator via Cosmos (Beta):** You can now generate materials directly from an image inside the Enscape Material Editor. After clicking Generate Material, a simple Cosmos window lets you upload a photo or texture, and Enscape returns a complete material with all maps applied. The new material appears automatically in your editor so you can keep designing without interruption. This early beta focuses on speed and convenience, with more capabilities planned for the future releases. ![AI_ImageGeneration_WithImageUsed.png](media://70f406de-f9f0-4b90-a002-651e70fd92e9) ![matgen2.png](media://0d9d263c-3fec-46ba-b20e-28492b05afb2) - **New Grass Models: **More detailed grass models with geometry variations for different height ranges have been added. This results in more realistic appearance when viewed up close, especially for bigger grass heights. ![Exterior_Grass_OldvsNew.jpg](media://5d54c11d-8967-438f-bed2-99780ebd14e2) ![ShortGrass-before.png](media://42a8a591-4f2d-499b-80f8-d816108e1b9c) ![ShortGrass-after.png](media://2856f63b-ed26-4f4f-b2f1-ac6b56bcf183) - **Grass Improved Border Handling: **Grass surfaces now blend more naturally at their edges. Height and density transition smoothly toward the border, reducing visible low poly patches and unwanted overlap with nearby surfaces. This results in cleaner, more natural grass boundaries. ![grass border.png](media://4fc86339-ed2e-406c-ad01-7bbb6abc69d9) - **Archicad Dark Mode Support on macOS: **Enscape now adapts its Archicad toolbar icons to light and dark themes on macOS starting with Archicad 29. Icons remain clear and usable when the appearance changes. Menu icons do not switch appearance. - **V-Ray Scene Export and Share Scene UI updates:** Updated the UI for scene export and sharing. The Share Scene window now uses the title 3D Streaming. The V-Ray Scene Export button has an updated icon, a revised tooltip, and the export window is now titled Scene Export. ## **Fixed Bugs** --- - **Materials: **Fixed errors when handling textures with names containing a specific mix of special characters. - **Asset Library:** Fixed an issue where closing the Asset Library while still applying changes could lead to duplicated assets. - **Window Settings:** Fixed an issue that prevents Enscape from starting when using an invalid custom icon. - **Renderer:** Fixed shading issue with DLSS or automatic subsampling, mostly visible on the border of geometry. - **SketchUp: **Fixed an issue where SketchUp 2026 would crash when deleting a scene. - **Sketchup:** Fixed an issue that caused a crash when glued objects were deleted at the same time. - **Asset Library: **Fixed Asset Editor not displaying adjustable material customizations - **Custom Asset Editor: **Fixed switching from Enscape to Custom Asset Editor not working when batch import is active - **Multi Asset Placement: **Fixed renderer losing focus on macOS - **Share Scene (3D Streaming):** Share Scene now checks if the Chaos Cloud Client is installed for the current system account. If it is missing, an error message explains that the client must be installed before continuing. - **Scene Share:** Fixed a rare crash when closing the Share Scene button. - **Scene Share: **Fixes a crash when the Cloud Client config could not be found. - **Renderer: **Fixed an issue where dark glass material on sky hits with multiple mirror reflections. - **Veras:** Fixed renderer losing focus on macOS breaks Veras. - **Grass:** Fixed discontinuities in grass with a specific combination of settings. - **Grass:** Fixed shadows of grass could disappear from the ground depending on the camera perspective. - **Grass:** Improved shadows of grass. - **Envision:** Fixed a bug where material color changes in Enscape would override material changes made in Envision. ## **Known Issues** --- - **Enscape crashes in (heavy load) captures: **Crash in PathTrace.glsl may occur under high GPU loads when rendering large screenshots (e.g., 4K with artificial lights or 6K without artificial lights).
