This page provides information on the V-Ray and Enscape compatibility in Revit.

 

## **Overview**

---

Real-time Enscape scenes can be transferred into V-Ray’s photorealistic rendering engine creating a powerful AEC visualization pipeline.

Enscape 3D models and materials are supported by V-Ray, so your projects develop smoothly and seamlessly with effortless collaboration between designers and visualization specialists.

V-Ray reads Enscape scene data without modifying it, keeping Enscape workflow in place. This design allows users to seamlessly continue their Enscape work in V-Ray and take it to the next level of photorealism.

The Enscape compatibility is currently a one-way workflow from Enscape to V-Ray.

> ⚠️ Starting with **V-Ray 7.20.01**, initializing Enscape before rendering is no longer necessary. Any Enscape assets can now be downloaded manually by clicking the **Download Enscape Assets** button, located on the V-Ray tools ribbon under the **[Assets](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VREVIT/pages/161284445/User+Interface#Assets)**** **category.

> ⚠️ For Enscape assets to render properly in V-Ray, you have to initialize Enscape first. This needs to be done only once for the assets data to be populated in the project. Afterwards, this step must be repeated only after introducing more new assets. Once done, you don't have to start Enscape again, even if you save the project and reopen it later.

> ℹ️ The new **adjustable assets** introduced in **Enscape 3.5** are now supported in **V-Ray 6, Hotfix 1**.

 

 

## **Notes**

---

- Currently, the Enscape Grass and Carpet are not transferred to V-Ray for performance reasons. They can be manually recreated using V-Ray Fur.
- Due to both engine's technology differences, the Visual Settings of Enscape are not transferred either.
