So my boss pinged me if we should experiment with Enscape.

https://enscape3d.com

We would be using it with Revit.  A few questions for the community:
Is it comparable to Lumion?
What is the learning curve like?
How much extra effort is involved other than the construction document level revit model?  Compared to Lumion?
Is it stable?

Thanks for your input.

I have a couple of (now more or less former) clients that have started using it and I would say the quality is a tad under Lumion 8. On the other hand it is a realtime viewer/window inside Revit, so no export or special knowledge needed. The learning curve is close to zero. From what I can tell it is taking the architecture world (those using Revit) by storm and I've noticed a significant drop in work from these Enscape users. One of the latest versions added a very decent lawn that replaces all surfaces that are defined as lawn in Revit with a pretty decent lawn shader.

It doesn't help those firms still using AutoCAD, and final presentations and marketing material still needs more than Enscape, mostly because you wouldn't populate and accessorize a Revit model the way you do in Max, but it will likely have impact on your less complicated renders, I know it has had for me.
