Recover Enscape settings by clicking in an image

Hello !

I was wondering if we could create a way to keep in memory the Enscape settings used at the time we take a screenshot.

I’m saying this because sometimes, we have the “perfect setting” for a picture, then someone come up with a change to do in the 3D model and we have to take a new screenshot, sometimes days later.

Maybe the process could be done by clicking in an image to import the settings… dunno what’s best.

I hope my message is clearly understandable cause it is sometimes tough to transcript ideas into words of a foreign language.

Keep un the good work :thumbup:

You need to click two buttons;

  • one to Create View (camera icon) which will embed the camera position into the native application

  • and then at the top of the Settings you can save all the settings to re-load at a later date; this is global and not related to the model, so you are best to name it with a reference to the model and the view it relates to so that you can find it again.

Before we can talk about settings per view I would glad to see settings saved to the project file. From my tests and projects I have a lot of saved finetuned setups and it makes no fun to work with the global saved options, the list is quite long. What will be in one year? If I would use Enscape more often than the list would useless long.

If the setups would be saved to the project file than I would like to load the setups from a drop down list rather than from images files.

Ok, I was aware of the “Save settings” function.

Didn’t notice the “Create view” option though so thanks for that.

So basically, my suggestion was some kind of a mix between the two…

Yeah this is actually a good idea

Hey @Canacan and @Micha , I’ve gladly upvoted the corresponding feature request which has already been filed before by +2. :slight_smile: Thank you both for your feedback!

This is a rerequest that comes up in our practice regularly as well. We find ourselves over the course of a few weeks or months doing the same shots over and over (but with different designs or finishes etc). We try to save the settings for each shot, but it would be a lot easier if all the settings could be saved in the file somehow.

From Vray I know the workflow, that the options are saved in the Rhino file. (The user can save the options to a file to the hard disk and load it for other projects later too.) So, I can open a project from some years before and the right setup is there. Per Enscape it will be and it is a disaster. You open a project A and get the setup of project Z, which was the last edited. I don’t understand that we talk about it like a new feature that needs votes. It is essential. Many user will see it in a few months - it will be a problem to get projects and setup together.

I’m working on several dozen project per year. At the moment I use 98% Vray. If I would use Enscape for all this projects than I would be lost after a while. Project file and setup needs to be stored together. The current way isn’t good for a pro use on the long run. Sorry, I afraid my word could sound harsh, but only I want to say - there is a big problem that needs to be solved. Best now!
