ENSCAPE - FAQ
Who is this course for?
This course is for anyone who is interested in learning how to produce realistic renderings – interior designers, architects, 3d artists etc. who are looking to up-level their skills.
What language is the course offered in?
English! Anyone who speaks English is eligible to take the course. Students from around the world are welcome.
Do I need Sketchup experience for this course?
Yes! You must have experience in Sketchup - this course focuses on Enscape plug-in software lessons. BUT I do supply with fully built 3d model, if you’re still learning Sketchup you might be ok! Depends on the type of learner you are.
I never rendered before, do I need previous experience?
Nope! You will learn from basics to advanced on how to produce realistic renderings. No worries!
What version of Enscape do I need?
Course is currently compatible with 3.4 Enscape (launched in August 2022). I highly recommend downloading the latest version for best functionality. You get 14 days trail version, but I do have to warn you – you will get a trademark on all of your renderings while using the trail version.
After trail expires, there is a cost associated for monthly/yearly subscription. For additional pricing for Enscape click here. https://enscape3d.com/pricing/
College student get a free version of Enscape! Hooray! Click here for more info. https://enscape3d.com/educational-license/ (get a clip of live renderings change while using sketchup to upload) And after you graduate and ready to move on to a new phase Enscape will offer you a special pricing! They’re the best.
Will I receive updates on new versions of Enscape?
Yes, you’re stuck with me!
As you may know programs get updated frequently, once a year, or multiple times a year for some. I will be adding an update video to inform you on the new features after launch – I will do so to keep you moving until I reformat and update all lessons which you will also have access to.
Why Enscape and not other extension programs?
I absolutely love Enscape and am loyal to their program for many years. I use Enscape to produce 3d renderings in SketchUp and Revit. It’s so great that it works with both programs that I use the most.
Enscape is always on top of their game with technology. Every year they come up with a better version of themselves! Every year the rendering look better and better.
I LOVE producing fly-throughs videos, 3d renderings, 360 panoramic views in only seconds + VR experience with goggles. Not to mention, it’s a real-time program, the changes you make in SketchUp/Revit immediately update in Enscape on a fly! Way to go technology!

I am a small business owner as well as a mom of 2-year-old so I do not offer one-to-one training. No extra time on hands at the moment!

Do you have computer recommendation for new purchase?
I don’t recommend a specific brand computer for you because it depends on your budget. I personally use MSI & absolutely love using their machines - powerful and lightweight. I’ve also used Alien in past which is another fantastic machine! A gaming computer would be ideal!
My MSI model computer info: GF35 Thin Gaming Notebook, Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, 512 GB NVMe SSD

The course looks complex but I'm not best at computers?
No worries at all! You don’t have to be computer savvy to follow this course. Everything is broken down into baby steps for follow and use.
My goal is for you to learn on how to use the program as well as to have a stunning project in your portfolio!
Can I just watch Youtube and skip your course?
Before I started to put the online courses together a few people asked me - why would you do this if you can just YouTube it? Well, let me explain why. This course is done by an interior designer/small business owner (ME) who worked in the field for many years and understands fundamentals of the design field. I have a long list of program expertise and I personally like to learn from someone who’s wearing same shoes.
YOU CAN spend endless hours on Youtube trying to put a puzzle together by watching many difference videos by someone who is just computer savvy but not necessarily is in the field doing what you’re doing every day of your life. I’m offering you a course from a design point of view; I understand the phases of design and the focus of getting you successful.
My goal is to get you through the course, up-level your services and skill could be life changing for many. ( You could and should charge more for your design fees when you present your work at the most professional way!)
Is the investment worth it?
Absolutely! You will learn this once in your lifetime and only get better and better with time. This cost will be only a fraction of the money you could make as a professional in the future. Don’t forget 3d renderings cost hundreds of $$$$$! Wink!
How long do I have access to my courses?
As long as IDD exists! Shall we say a lifetime?
What if I'm unhappy with the course?
If the lessons to do not meet your expectations, please reach out to me – [email protected]
I would like to get your input on why the lessons did not work out for you and I will offer a full refund within first 30 days after your online purchase.

The course is taught in imperial system. If you use metrical measurement system (pretty much the rest of the world uses this system besides USA J) I have included converted dimensions worksheets that you may download and follow along when I discuss the dimensions.
Do we learn how to build furniture or other special elements?
Sorry but we do not learn how to build furniture or other complex items in this course. I NEVER build furniture because I do not have the time for it – I build interior spaces that are relevant to my client’s needs and mostly use 3d Warehouse to source furniture, lighting & décor OR I use manufacturer’s websites for ready to download models and so should you to save yourself time. If you’re interested in furniture making – you will not find this at my course.
