Lumiforma
- You want standalone rendering without paying $575-$995/year for Enscape plus a host software license.
- You do not have a 3D model in Revit, SketchUp, or Rhino — you just have project photos or floor plans.
- You work on Mac or do not have an NVIDIA RTX GPU for Enscape's real-time engine.
- You need to generate multiple design options quickly for client approval without rebuilding a 3D scene.
Enscape
- You need a live-linked plugin that updates renders in real time as you edit your Revit or SketchUp model.
- Your workflow is centered on real-time VR walkthroughs directly from your BIM model.
- You already have Enscape integrated into your studio's Revit or SketchUp pipeline.
- You need real-time navigation and instant preview inside your modeling environment.
No Plugin Required
Enscape works only as a plugin for Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, ArchiCAD, or Vectorworks. Lumiforma is standalone — open your browser and start rendering.
Render from Photos
Enscape requires a 3D model as input. Lumiforma works from photos and floor plans, so you can visualize before any 3D modeling begins.
Lower Total Cost
Enscape costs $575-$995/year and requires host software like Revit ($2,910/year). Lumiforma is $19/month with no additional software needed.
Any Device, Any OS
Enscape runs primarily on Windows and recommends an NVIDIA RTX GPU. Lumiforma runs in any browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, or tablet.
