For a printed book cover, the resolution needs to be very high. For my last three book updates, and for the next, I have used high-quality Enscape-rendered images for the cover of my Revit textbooks. Selecting Custom allows us to enter any resolution up to 8192 x 8192 Pixels. If you have a slower graphics card (GPU) that may take too much time early on in the design process, a lower setting would be more appropriate. I like to leave this set at Ultra HD, so the quality is extra high, and I do not have to go back and recreate any images (see image below). By default, the resolution is set to Full HD 1920 times 1080 pixels. It is helpful to know that the resolution of the image can be set in Enscape’s Visual Settings dialog.

This is everyone’s go-to command to create high-quality still images as PNG, JPG, EXR, or TGA.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these export options all of which work the same in Revit, SketchUp, Archicad, and Rhino – with one exception, as noted above.

When you stop and consider them all at once, it’s impressive how many options Enscape offers to export high-quality visualization content. Below, we will dive into the range of Enscape exports and file formats that are included with every subscription (it's worth noting that Enscape is offered at an affordable price point, making it accessible to most design staff). Where some workflows require multiple tools to create still images, videos, and virtual reality, Enscape facilitates a way to keep all visualization efforts tied to the native design platform (e.g. With the multitude of ways in which designers work with clients and stakeholders, it is important to have the ability to provide the most effective visualization elements at the appropriate time during the project’s design and construction phase.
