In the Visual Enscape Settings window, located under the Main Tab, a section named Style provides options to allow  you to change the way that Enscape renders your projects. You will notice that the Style section contains, by default, a slider named Outlines and a drop-down menu that is named Mode. These ‘Modes’ allow a user to apply unique styles to their projects and produce a Maquette or Sciographic, Hatched Sketch, Watercolor rendered image style and lots more.

To access these options, make sure Enscape is running and then open the Visual Settings window using the associated button in the Enscape Viewport user interface, as shown highlighted to the right in the following screenshot.

These options can be found at the top of the Visual Settings window.

These options can be combined to create some interesting effects in your projects, as the modes change the way that your project is rendered in the Enscape window, and the outlines can help emphasize the geometric forms in a project. There are five Modes that can be chosen and be combined with the Outlines option.

When White Mode is enabled all materials, apart from transparent ones, are then displayed in white color. It is a great way to emphasize forms and volumes in a project. This style of representation is commonly used for conceptual and schematic design and gives a great overview on the interaction of spatial elements.

A more illustrative look can be achieved using outlines to highlight individual forms. Thickness of the outlines can be controlled using the outline slider. Here is a quick comparison of outlines varying from 0 to 75 percent:

You can choose to exclude all instances of an asset at once using the search bar.

Or you can manually pick assets to be excluded from the White Mode by using the Select in scene option.

Additionally, an Invert Appearance option allows selected assets to appear inverted, i.e. in white, while everything else retains its original colors and materials.

The Selective White Mode functionality applies only to Enscape assets and Custom assets under Enscape Asset Library.

Renders all surfaces like a real polystyrol material, whereby the sunlight is scattered through the thinned geometry.
When this mode is selected, an additional setting appears named Transmission that determines how much light is transmitted through geometry.

You can see the effect of  0% Transmission in the following screenshots with 25% and 75% outlines applied.

It’s also worth noting that bump maps will continue to be displayed when using White/Polystyrol Mode.

This mode informs you as to how much light is hitting a surface and this is displayed as a heat map. It is worth noting that the Enscape Light View is not a professional or fully accurate light analysis tool, and is provided as an estimation only.

There is also the Automatic Scale option which can be disabled. When disabled the minimum and maximum Lux scale can be set manually.

In the Enscape Viewport, when Light View Mode is activated, there will always be a temp range indicator located to refer to which is located at the top of the Enscape viewport window:

This gauge will only be viewable in the Enscape window, and is not included in rendered images.

You can also combine Light View mode with Outlines:

This artistic visual mode recreates the rendering as pen or pencil sketches. This mode can be adjusted as black and white outlines, grayscale or as colored rendering.

Outlines – adjust thickness of lines.

Jitter – modulate the distortion of lines within you sketch composition.

Extended Lines – control the length and prominence of extended lines in your drawing.

Transparent Glass – enable to render objects behind glass with lighter colors.

Hatched Shadows – enhance the drawing by creating depth and form through hatched shadows

Pen – default sketch style in black and white pen.

Pencil – transform your sketch style to grayscale pencil.

Colored Pencil – customize the style of the sketch by applying colors.

It is recommended to use this style for still renders to achieve best results.

The Watercolor mode transforms your viewport into a real-time watercolor painting, simulating watercolor effects to create soft, blended look for your visualization.

This mode comes with its own options to adjust the various color settings.

Color Gradient – affects the number of colors and hues.

Surface Detail – adjusts the level of texture detail on surfaces.

Bleeding Effect – controls color overlap between surfaces.

Transparent Glass – enable to render objects behind glass with lighter colors.

It is recommended to use this artistic visual mode for still renders to achieve best results.
