I don’t know if there is a way to solve this and I’ve completely missed it but if I create rounded sweeps in a family and then using Enscape for rendering the model turns into bad quality.
Se the images:
Family made faucet compared to a Custom Asset import.
Possibly the result of rendering something far away from the camera in Revit that is close to the camera in Enscape. My understanding is this is Revit’s way of efficiently handling 3D at a distance for the sake of improved graphic performance. If your camera is closer to the object in the Revit project it may improve the rendering resolution in Enscape. Please confirm.
I’m not sure what you mean with put the camera closer to the object in Revit project. If I create a new camera view close up in Revit the object still looks terrible.
My understanding is Enscape is rendering what’s happening in Revit. And Revit is showing Enscape faceted curves. I’m still trying to hunt down a fix - but so far I’ve been told it have to do with Revit trying to improve graphic performance by faceting curved geometry. Usually this happens at a distance and not noticeable. But in your case it’s happening up close.
Enscape is designed primarily for real-time rendering so yes it has to make trade-offs. That said there may be things you can do to influence how it triangulates. See my questions from prior post - Can you clarify -
The rendered image is from Enscape?
Can you post Revit wireframe and shaded views showing both faucets?
The Enscape renderer does not reduce tessellation. We render the triangulated geometry 1:1 as we get it from Revit. Enscape assets are also triangle meshes, but of course with assets you will have complete control over their tessellation, while Revit controls how your project’s geometry gets exported.
There are some suggested workarounds (like setting the detail level in your Revit view) in a whole bunch of similar threads in the forums, e.g.: RE: Curved geometry rendering faceted
Is there a way in Revit to preview the triangulations?
How (or does) this differ from Rhino and/or Sketchup?
The tessellation in Rhino generally looks smoother. Is Enscape or Rhino driving that? If you were to pre-mesh everything in Rhino, would the “Exporting” process go faster?
Hi Everyone - The tessellation is a byproduct of Revit. It’s a long standing issue. You can see this by opening the Revit project containing the family component. Enscape is rendering what Revit is showing it.
