The First Ever Enscape User Group Meeting - London, England 2019

Last week I had the good fortune to attend the first ever, in the entire world, Enscape User Group Meeting in London, England. The gathering was graciously hosted by KPF Associates in their London office.


The meeting was organized by the Enscape team, with the timing being strategically the day before Autodesk University - London. They even gave away some great prizes.

KPF have a beautiful office in the heart of London. Here are two photos of the entrance and the lobby.


 
In their lobby were the Enscape user group name badges ready for the attendees...


Just past the lobby was a large multi-purpose space with chairs setup for the meeting. Currently, the walls are covered with KPF staff-created art, which were exceedingly nice!


Enscape catered the meeting and I had a chance to chat with the two people providing the service; both were very friendly:)


Jonathan Knöfel, from Enscape, starting things off with an outline of the agenda...


Kaj Burival, also from Enscape, did a demo on using and creating a skybox.


Phil Read showed how we can use any Revit family and add the Enscape content ID parameters to get super high quality objects in Enscape.


In the end, there was a giveaway. One person one a new Oculus VR system and another will become an asset in Enscape!


Reginald Basit, from BDP Ltd,  one the top prize... watch for him to show up in the Enscape asset library in the near future!

Enscape made a version of the giant mouse pad for this meeting as pictured below along with my name badge.

Funny thing about the mouse pad... it was the best view I had of Big Ben as the real thing was covered in scaffolding as shown below:)
