Best Enscape Cloud Rendering

Enscape is a commercial real-time rendering and virtual reality plugin mainly used in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields. It is an easy-to-use real-time rendering & Virtual Reality Extension for SketchUp Pro, Rhinoceros, Revit ArchiCAD, and Vectorworks.

According to Archdaily, companies from 150 countries and 85% of the internationally renowned TOP100 architectural firms use Enscape to improve their design process. With fast rendering times, ease of use, and an affordable price tag, it is a powerful tool for daily workflows.

In spite of its widely growing in usage, a lot of  Enscape users find it really hard to find a Cloud Render farm which support this plugin. Majority of the current Render Farm focus on design softwares and render engines using multi GPU cards to render such as Blender, 3Dsmax, Cinema4d,  Houdini, Redshift, Octane, etc. The number of Render farm support design software using single GPU card such as Lumion, Keyshot, Unreal Engine, After Effect, SolidWorks, and Enscape can only be counted on the fingers of one hand. Because of that reasom, today iRender will provide you with basic but necessary information related to Enscape as well as introduce a new package with ideal specification that will definitely satisfy Enscape users.

First and foremost, before engaging with Enscape plugin, designers need to be aware of whether their current design software support Enscape plugin or not. Currently, these following software can be used with Enscape:

• Revit (2018,2019, 2020, and 2021). *Revit LT is not supported
• SketchUp Make & Pro (2018, 2019, 2020, and2021)
• Rhino (6.0 and 7.0)
• ArchiCAD (21,22, 23, and 24)
• Vectorworks (2020 (Service Pack 3), 2021)

Enscape uses ray tracing for its real-time rendering, and almost all the calculations that Enscape performs are being handled on the graphics card. For this reason, one computer should at least meet the minimum requirements set out below:

• CPU: Enscape performs its renders using graphics card (GPU). However, a good CPU can speed up Enscape’s loading time. If your CPU and RAM are capable of handling Revit or Sketchup for instance, and you have a capable GPU, Enscape should work. Therefore, Intel i5 CPU or higher is recommended in order to run Enscape  Windows 7 with 64 Bit or higher is also needed.
• Graphics Card: Enscape performs its renders using graphics card (GPU), but the graphics card has to have dedicated VRAM, and not shared VRAM as found with Intel Integrated Graphics chips. You probably also know that Enscape can make use of only 1 GPU. So if you use a computer with multiple graphics cards, it will not increase the efficiency of use, that is why you should invest in a powerful GPU with the largest VRAM possible. To achieve fast, lag-free and stable performance in Enscape. The recommended requirements for GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD equivalent with 4GB VRAM or higher with the latest available drivers.
• Additional Required Software: The Enscape installer will check for the presence of additional software that is required to run Enscape. If that software is not present the installer will prompt you to download and install this. For deploying Enscape via Command Line, the list of that required software including .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher (already installed for Windows 10), Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable,  and Vulkan Runtime.

As you all know, iRender provides high performance and configurable server system to customers who need to utilize the power of CPUs & GPUs such as 3D rendering, AI training, VR&AR, simulation, etc. With iRender IaaS and PaaS services, you can access our servers through the Remote Desktop Application and do whatever you want and install any software you need on it. It is like you are using your own computer but with a powerful configuration and much higher performance.

What you need to do is just 5 simple steps including: Creating an iRender account, Recharging money, Transferring your files to the remote server, Selecting a package and connecting to the server then finally Taking full control of the server and doing whatever you want.

So what package that iRender Farm are offering will best suit with Enscape plugin? That’s what we mainly want to show you today – It’s GPU SERVER 3s 1x RTX 4090 which definitely will be fond of by CAD users with the detailed configuration below:

You can see that our Server 3s configuration completely matches these above requirements for choosing a computer for Enscape. Let’s look at them in more detailed:

• Operating System of GPU SERVER 3s: Once again, we need to confirm that Enscape uses one GPU card to render. However, a good CPU can speed up Enscape’s loading times. Because of this reason, iRender exclusively provides the AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO 3955WX @ 3.9 – 4.2GHz with a strong processor base frequency, which is 3.9GHz – 4.2GHz, 16 cores, and 32 threads on GPU server 3S. 

• GPU of SERVER 3s:

To speed up the rendering process, Enscape requires a powerful graphics card with many CUDA cores and large VRAM. The CUDA core is found in two-card lines, Nvidia’s GTX / RTX and AMD’s Radeon. Here at iRender, we provide you with one of the most powerful GPUs currently. It’s Geforce RTX 4090. This GPU card reaches 38,430 G3D mark rating points and has a large 24GB vRAM, which definitely brings much better performance.

The recommended GPU for Enscape is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD equivalent with 4GB VRAM or higher. But more than that,  the GPU of our server 3s is GeForce RTX 4090, having 3 times the power of GeForce GTX 1660 with 24GB vRAM. As you can see, all indicators are over the recommended level. Here, you can assure that you will have a great experience with Enscape with our GPU server 3s.

Regarding price, the hourly rental for the package RTX x 4090 is only 8.2$/h. But you can always save from 6% to 20% with our Fixed Rental feature. For those who are in need of a server for more than a day or have an extremely large project, we advise choosing a daily/ weekly/monthly rental package. The discount is attractive (10% for daily packages, 20% for weekly, and 20% for monthly packages).

Furthermore, we are one of the few render farms providing a unique transfer file tool, without having to access a third party for transferring data. The tool is called iRender GPU app. You can upload your data even when the remote server is turned off, and it will automatically sync to the remote servers and vice versa. Furthermore, major cloud transferring platforms like Dropbox, Google Drive are also supported if users want them.

Moreover, iRender service is extremely interesting, clear, and effective. Because we believe that ‘less is more’, the web interface is easy to use. With just one or two clicks to create an image, and 7 to 15 minutes to boot the system for the first time, you will use the servers (GPUs & CPUs) like your own PC. Additionally, you just need to set up a working environment once and save it as an image to keep it for life.

Finally, users can access our web-based online platform and use multiple nodes to render at the same time. Hence, with us, it does not matter where you are present – as long as you are connected to the internet, you can access and enjoy the 24/7 rendering services that we provide, and if you encounter any issue, our real human support team is always ready to support you.

iRender is on the way to become the best render farm service nowadays. Thanks to our leading technology, we help users create high-quality images and videos in the shortest time ever and minimize the rendering time

With the above advantages and the machine configuration package that iRender has just released, we believe that Enscape users will have the most comfortable, quickest, and most effective rendering time.

So, do not hesitate anymore, let’s HERE to get FREE COUPON to test our GPU servers and reach a new level of cloud rendering.
