4.9.0 Preview 1 macOS

Enscape 4.9.0 Preview 1

Release Notes 09.07.2025

New

• New Asset Delivery Platform: Chaos Cosmos
  Enscape now uses Chaos Cosmos as the platform for delivering assets. While the assets themselves remain unchanged, the system behind them is getting a major upgrade:
  • Improved search and filtering for easier discovery
  • More modern, intuitive interface for browsing and placing assets
  • Consistent experience across Chaos products, with room for future growth
  • Same Enscape assets, now delivered through Cosmos

This change will initially be available only in Preview versions. This allows us to collect early feedback and make improvements before a full rollout.

We’re excited about this transition and would love to hear your thoughts. Please share feedback in our Forum or reach out directly through our Idea Portal.

• Removed Support for SketchUp 2022 and older versions: Starting with Enscape 4.9, support for old versions will be removed. This allows us to streamline development, improve code quality, and focus on supporting the latest SketchUp versions.

Fixed Bugs

• AutoLoD: Fixed false self-shadowing artifacts in small scenes and with massively scaled assets.
• Sun Position Sliders: Circular sliders for Azimuth and Altitude can now be dragged as expected in the View Management panel.
• Transform Gizmo: Scaling now continues properly after re-entering the window, even if the mouse cursor temporarily leaves the viewport.

Known Issues

• SSO Login Bug Prevents Second User from Using Enscape on Same PC: A second user can not sign in into Enscape using their own credentials and obtain a license session.
• Hyperlinks in Cosmos Asset Delivery Platform do not Open in Browser: Clicking on any link like “Forums” does not open the internet browser.
