Enscape 4.22 Update: AI Asset Search, GPT-6 Astra & More
POSTED 9th OF Nov, 2026, Posted by Summer Magdaraog
Chaos released Enscape 4.22 on November 4, 2026, introducing new AI-powered tools for 3D asset discovery, design exploration, and project collaboration. The update also brings improvements to Veras, Chaos Cloud, and Enscape's core rendering workflow.
Here are the key features and improvements in Enscape 4.22.
What's New in Enscape 4.22?
AI-Powered 3D Asset Search and Generation
Enscape 4.22 introduces new ways to find and create 3D assets for architectural visualization.
Image-Based Search allows users to find visually similar objects in the built-in Enscape asset library using a reference image instead of relying only on keywords. The library also expands with more than 1,500 new assets and content.
The update also includes 3D Model Generation (Beta), which uses AI to create custom 3D assets when suitable options aren't available in the library. The feature does not consume Chaos Credits while in Beta.
GPT-6 Astra Integration in Veras
GPT-6 Astra is now part of Veras, allowing users to generate editable 3D scenes from images, sketches, text descriptions, and floor plans.
Generated scenes can be brought directly into Revit, Rhino, and SketchUp, with editable geometry, materials, and cameras that users can further refine and visualize with Enscape.
Veras 2.0 also integrates more closely with Enscape, opening within the Enscape render window instead of a separate window. Additional capabilities include:
- AI Video Generation: Generate and extend video content using Veo 3.1, Gemini Omni, and Grok.
- Node-Based Editor: Build and refine repeatable workflows with greater control over how ideas are generated and developed.
Chaos AI Assistant for Design Support
The Chaos AI Assistant (Beta) provides contextual assistance directly inside Enscape and Impact.
Users can ask questions in plain language, generate lighting and atmosphere presets from reference images, and find relevant assets based on text descriptions, images, or the current viewport.
Chaos Cloud Collaboration and Project Reviews
Enscape 4.22 also highlights improvements to project sharing through Chaos Cloud.
Users can send renderings, panoramas, 3D scenes, and web standalones directly from Enscape to Chaos Cloud. PDF support also allows teams to upload plans and technical drawings, add annotations, and discuss project details alongside visualizations.
Chaos Cloud's recently added browser-based review and 3D exploration capabilities let clients and collaborators view shared projects, navigate 3D scenes, and provide feedback without installing additional software.
Enscape Envision Improvements
Chaos also highlights several Enscape Envision tools for presentations and animation:
- Dynamic Section Tool: Reveal interior details and create animated sectional views without making destructive changes to the original model.
- AI-Assisted Asset Placement: Find and intelligently place relevant Chaos Cosmos assets, with AI assistance for lighting, sky matching, materials, and render feedback.
- Veras AI Integration: Explore and generate design variations directly within the Envision workflow.
- Easy Mode: Simplify animation creation through guided camera viewpoints, a visual camera timeline, and streamlined asset placement.
Additional Technical Improvements
Enscape 4.22 also introduces updates to its core rendering workflow:
- Section Box: Isolate and inspect specific areas of a model directly in Enscape without creating separate section views in the CAD application.
- Texture Streaming: Load textures progressively at the resolution required by the current view, helping reduce GPU memory usage in large projects.
- Archicad 30 Support: Adds support for Archicad 30.
- SketchUp 2027 and Rhino 9: Introduces preliminary support for both applications.
