Hi,
some little wishes - support of the transparency of PNG, so that no additional transparency needs to be created and scene update after switching layers on/off. Also it could be nice if Enscape would be started in Rhino-view-synchro-mode.

We extract the transparency of PNGs for SketchUp, but there is no explicit transparency texture slot. We will evaluate if this makes sense.
Switching layers on/off was already implemented in the last few days, will be available with the next preview version.
What’s wrong with activating the view synchronization once for every Rhino start? Has Rhino any possibility to perform commands on startup? If yes, you could do that yourself. We will think about enabling by default (but that would be Rhino and SketchUp, because we like to stay consistent). No SketchUp user ever wanted to have the synchronization on by default.
I have seen now on the Rhino UI, that I can define a transparency color. I’m not sure it will work for PNG transparency, but also it doesn’t work for a solid color. So, maybe this could be supported.
If I start Enscape than it is for me a real time renderer, a additional display for the viewport. So, why shouldn’t it be synchronized? But I can set a Rhino start command to enable it.
@Micha the layer switch is available in 2.0.2.2128
@Simon_Weinberger Hi Simon, did you get the info by email that the layer update isn’t proper working at Rhino anymore? If I turn a layer on, than the objects are not shown. Only turning layer off works.
@Micha I didn’t get any email. I also tried switching layers on/off and it worked for me. I need a more detailed bug report, perhaps even with an example project, to figure out what is going wrong for you.
@Simon_Weinberger I sent a file to Demian some days before. Also there is a big lighting problem, this was the reason I sent him this file.
@Micha Please send the file and instructions for reproduction of your problem to - I don’t have access to Demian’s mailbox.
@Simon_Weinberger I wrote him per support@enscape3d.com but I sent it again now.
OK, found it and can reproduce - thanks for the report.
The layer update problem is fixed in 2.1.3.0 and will also be included in the next preview version.
As a workaround you can start Enscape with both layers on, then you can switch freely afterwards.
That is great to know! It would have saved me some headache yesterday…but the workaround is good. Thanks!
Layer fix included in 2.1.3.1202
Hi, is there a chance to get the transparency of PNG and TIFF working? Would help a lot for architecture scene with a lot of objects and imports from model libraries.
