Hi! The .exe standalone is nice for sharing but not much else. It would be VERY useful if it was possible to render views/panoramas/video directly from the .exe standalone. Here is my situation and how this feature would greatly improve my workflow
I have a Revit central file that I run my Enscape from, but my work computer is not good for rendering at all, so running the enscape window and doing a batch rendering of 12 stereo panoramas renders my computer almost useless for a good 6 hours.
I have a powerful computer available to me that would rip through these renders like a knife through warm butter. Unfortunately it's not connected to our work server, so I can't open the central revit file with all it's dozen dependency files and run enscape from it, in order to render.
It would be a gamechanger if I could create a .exe standalone file that also brings with it the pre-set viewpoints and lets me batch-render these views without needing the revit central file at all.
Thank you for reading! I hope this might be implemented in the future
Thank you for your feedback!
.exe standalone and web-standalone functionalities are intended for other use cases. Mainly for sharing the output with the stakeholders. Besides this, creating renders within those, would be so costly to implement and due to the nature of the .exe standalone export, you wouldn't end up with the same quality anyway.
Thanks for the response. I understand that the standalone feature was created for and is mostly used for the purpose of quickly sharing with others, but that doesn't mean the standalone concept can't also include rendering capabilities. I understand of course if modifying the standalone to support rendering is not economically feasible for the development team.
The reason I posted this idea is that I ended up having my work computer become almost useless because it was busy rendering so much, while our render machine was sitting idle. Having renders that are slightly lower quality is worth it compared to losing effective work hours.
